It's time for us to put a stop to hair discrimination in schools.
Speaking about the event, Yewande Akinola, who is a chartered engineer, said, "Our Afro hair is so powerful and crucial in the journey to expressing our true identities and culture – it is a part of our individual stories. I am honoured to present the Big Hair Assembly.
“And, being a part of World Afro day is also important to me as a parent to two beautiful girls. It is an amazing opportunity to show them and all children the beauty of Afro hair and culture.” Dr Zoe Williams, who is a practicing NHS GP, noted, “I am really excited to be back presenting World Afro Day 2022. This year is even more special because The Big Hair Assembly will allow me to explore my love of Afro hair as well as science.
"I didn’t have the opportunity to celebrate my hair when I was growing up at school and it would have made a big difference to my confidence. But now every school in Britain and across the world can be part of positive change. World Afro Day is a celebration for everyone from the workplace, your home, and at school and I’m glad to be part of history being made.”
