In a world that often imposes narrow standards of beauty and societal norms, it is essential to empower young girls, particularly those from marginalized communities, to embrace their cultural heritage and develop self-confidence. The Hair Braiding classes/lessons is a transformative initiative that not only celebrates the art of hair-braiding but also instills crucial skills in entrepreneurship and self-love. By combining cultural pride, business insight and confidence-building, this camp seeks to equip young Black girls with the necessary tools to embrace their identity, pursue their dreams and make meaningful contributions to their communities.Pashun Barnes, a devoted special education teacher, made a conscious choice to dedicate her summer to empowering children, guiding them in embracing their natural hair, and fostering a positive and essential understanding of Black culture.As featured on MLive, Fox 2 news and in the Michigan Chronicle
