Join Dawn as she embarks on a three-part series exploring the role of Black women's hair as a form of social and political resistance to oppression. First up, Dawn talks with Kamika King, Founder and CEO of Makeba Co., an artisan hair care company specializing in products for Black women, and I AM Grooming Co., a beard and skincare company that specializes in products for men of color. The women explore the history of Black hair as a social justice movement, offer critical analysis of commentary made earlier this year by famous Black men attacking Black women's hair, discuss Kamika's personal hair journey and inspiration for creating hair care products, and share hair care tips for naturalistas and women experiencing hair loss. 

Note From the Stiletto Revolution #7: You do not need to be ashamed or hide your hair loss because there are solutions to help.
