A Call For Unity From Burkina Faso's Intermediate President Ibrahim Traoreé

Be the First!

Be the first to wear your hair out proudly...

To let your community know that it's lovely to be African...

And that it's safe to wear their true hair out.

Because when they see you do it,

Your bravery will relight their bravery as well.

Soon, you'll see others face their fears around you, showcasing their hair in beautiful styles 😌✨

Our hair no longer hidden under weaves, wigs, or wraps. No longer straightened or permed.

It will be poofed out, maintained, oiled. Shaped into immaculate colors and curls.

No longer pressed into an image that was never ours, but relaxing into our own, uniquely beautiful way of being.

Chic, classy, and elegant ✊🏾✨
