Emerge Founder Diane Bailey
This past weekend the American Hotel in Downtown Atlanta hosted the Natural Hair Industry
Convention with Diane Bailey. The convention had a legal session informing people on their rights in regards to natural hair. New York and California are the only 2 states that have adopted the Crown Act. This act protects women who wear their natural hair. Children younger than 10 years old have been sent home because they had braids or an afro. This type of discrimination happens to children around the country.
At The Natural Hair Industry Convention they had a Hair Symposium with hair stylist, barbers, manufacturers, and influencers to talk about hair care, mental and physical healing, and legal protections . They had 30 other classes around hair care and the industry. For more information go to www.thenaturalhairindustryconvention.com
