A new social enterprise is empowering Black girls to feel good about themselves and their natural hair.
The workshop for young girls, ‘Braids and Brilliance’ takes place in Bronzeville this weekend. The program is run by Ahead Academy and has been in the works for years.

Taylor was inspired by her experience working in corporate media — which lead to her switching careers.\
