Do get in touch: [email protected] New research shows that black women who have natural hairstyles are less likely to be offered a job interview than white woman, or black women with straightened hair.  Have you had experience of this?  How can we continue to strive for equality? How can we do better? We also discuss how important even the smallest amount of self-care can be as we continue to navigate really challenging times.
