In her books, Dr. Ellington takes a critical and nuanced look at societal perceptions of Black hair, past and present.

Throughout the day students are invited to get a free haircut and style for ALL HAIR TEXTURES in our Center for Cultural Liberation offered by ClipDart. ClipDart is a non-profit started by entrepreneur, Kyle Parker. ClipDart's mission is to make a powerful, positive impact on the mental wellness of communities around the world through hair professionals, while, concurrently, revolutionizing the hair industry & common view of hair professionals' essentialness.
