Back To Our Roots 1

By Fausat Olanike Ladokun

Caption Of Artwork: Back to Our Roots explores the politics of Black hair and the discrimination it faces in schools, workplaces, and society. Once labeled “unkempt” or “unprofessional,” Black hair is reclaimed here as natural, powerful, and proud. In celebration of Black History Month, the series honours hair as a language of identity — a crown every Black woman should wear with confidence and without shame.
