A global day of celebration and
liberation for Afro hair

WORLD AFRO DAY - 7TH ANNIVERSARY

This September 15th, 2023, we are celebrating our 7th anniversary and launching  events and training to address long-overdue hair discrimination at work. We have commissioned new research from Shift Insight to look into Employer attitudes to Afro hair.

While we tackle Afro hair discrimination, we will continue to celebrate ‘all things Afro hair’ at our event on 15th September. Don’t miss music from the talented Sharlene-Monique; the queen of comedy hair sketches, Elaine Babey and our Global Experts Panel. The Workplace Hair Movement begins on World Afro Day!
