Blogs & conversations World afro day and supporting clients with alopecia
In 2017, UK thought-leader Michelle de Leon founded World Afro Day – a global celebration and liberation of Afro hair and identity that takes place annually on 15th September. This initiative brings attention to the cultural significance of Afro hair and highlights ongoing discrimination faced by Black people in the UK. As someone living with alopecia, I felt a personal connection to this topic, which led me to apply for a Churchill Fellowship.
