This is an opportunity to bring together black women in the DC/VA/MD metropolitan area who choose to wear their hair natural and/or women who are transiting from relax to chemical-free hair. We will celebrate our diversity and beauty through support, respect and sisterly love. We will gather to converse, network and support one another in our quest for chemical-free hair!
