Black hair has always been more than just hair—it’s a reflection of identity, culture, and connection. Crowning Glory: An Ode to Black Hair is a celebration of this truth, offering a space where art and personal stories come together to honor the beauty and significance of Black hair.
Through film, photography, and poetry, this experience explores the layers of Black hair experiences—its joys, its challenges, and its place in history and everyday life.
At its core, Crowning Glory is about creating connection. It highlights the shared bonds among Black women, spanning generations, neighborhoods, and experiences. From young girls discovering pride in their natural textures to elders whose silver strands carry years of wisdom, this project honors the individuality and collective power of Black hair.
