World Afro Day Ambassador!
WAD is an acronym for World Afro Day ®. You are invited to join a global network of changemakers, committed to the celebration and liberation of Afro hair and identity. As a World Afro Day (WAD) Ambassador, you will amplify our mission to end Afro hair discrimination and educate the world for change through the Guinness World Record attempt for the “largest cultural awareness lesson in 24 hours”. This Big WAD Lesson will celebrate Afro hair, history and change.
World Afro Day® is more than just a date on the calendar, it’s a movement that unites people from all backgrounds to celebrate Afro hair while advocating for systemic change. As an Ambassador, you will:
Help rewrite narratives around Afro textured hair by sharing educational resources, personal stories, and local initiatives.
“Fix the Law, Not Afro Hair” – Work alongside our team to lobby for legal protections and promote awareness in schools, workplaces and everyday life.
Connect with fellow Ambassadors via our dedicated WhatsApp group, virtual meetings, and in-person gatherings. Together, we’ll organize events, lead workshops, and build a support network that spans continents.
