This event was born out of the Community Initiative Pitch at our BLACK Youth Excellence event in April. 🙌 It goes beyond grooming. It’s about building confidence inspiring new skills and connecting youth to their roots through the cultural legacy of African hair traditions. In many African cultures hair is a powerful symbol—each braid twist and adornment tells a story of identity belonging and resilience.

Big shout-out to Tiruk Tut for bringing this idea to life in support of South Sudanese and other Black youth. What started as a pitch is now a full community connection and learning opportunity—and we couldn’t be more proud. đź’Ş
