While we’re a couple days late posting in formal recognition of National CROWN Day, the truth is this: we celebrate, honor, and protect the authenticity of Black women every single day.

Celebrated on July 3rd, National CROWN Day commemorates the historic signing of the CROWN Act, which stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.” This legislation is a critical civil rights milestone, outlawing race-based hair discrimination and ensuring that natural textures and protective styles like braids, locs, twists, and knots are legally protected in workplaces and schools.

True inclusivity means ensuring everyone feels safe, seen, and celebrated exactly as they are. Today and every day, we stand in solidarity with the brilliant Black women in our community. Wear your crown proudly!
