Dove co-founded the CROWN Coalition to advance anti-hair discrimination legislation called The CROWN Act. The CROWN Act, which stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, is a law that prohibits racial discrimination based on natural textures and protective hairstyles including braids, locs, twists, and bantu knots. According to their research, Black women’s hair is 2.5x more likely to be perceived as unprofessional.

This week, we discuss the impact that the CROWN Act has had within the future of work..and we highlight some stats that stood out to us in this research. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quientueres/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quientueres/support Learn more about your ad choices.
