Hair Do’s and Dont’s: Breaking Down the Politics of Black Hair at Work

Black Talent Talks

Join our hosts Leah and Denise as they chat with guests Mac Alonge, Rebekah Taitt and Letha Charles about black hair and professional success. Do we have to conform to Eurocentric beauty standards in order to get ahead in our career? We share experiences of navigating workplace expectations and the pressure to assimilate. We'll also discuss the role of hair discrimination in hiring practices and how to advocate for yourself and your natural hair. So, whether you're rocking locs, a fro, or a sleek blowout, tune in to learn how to let your hair be a symbol of your power and authenticity in the workplace.
