Description

Today's History Story: The Crown Act

Our people were born wearing crowns – but internal and external barriers exist that might impede us from donning them. Today’s guest, however, is harnessing the force of media to highlight the strength within our locks.

Lindsey Farrar is an entrepreneur and strategist driven by her mission to shape culture and nurture young leaders. From this she co-founded CRWNMAG, a magazine centered around natural hair and the women who embrace it.

Brace yourself for an episode that might lead you to question—and maybe uncover—the profound power residing atop your own head.

Learning your history makes you - and your people - stronger. As Black people, we know we’re left out of the history books. That the media images are skewed. That we need access to experts, information and ideas so we can advance our people. Black History Year connects you to the history, thinkers, and activists that are left out of the mainstream conversations. You may not agree with everything you hear, but we’re always working toward one goal: uniting for the best interest of Black people worldwide. BHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation’s largest non-profit Black media company - hit us up at BlackHistoryYear.com.
