Despite how Eurocentric beauty standards have tried to govern my appearance, I choose to resist oppressive narratives and policies that deny my humanity. We need legislation that ends hair discrimination. Contact your legislators in support of the CROWN Act.” —Cierra Kaler-Jones (@_cierrajade_ ), Social Justice Educator, Writer and Researcher. A research study conducted in 2019 by the JOY Collective found that in the United States, 80% of Black women agreed with the statement, “I have to change my hair from its natural state to fit in at the office”. And, overall, they’re 1.5 times more likely to be sent home from their jobs simply because of their hair or hairstyle. This discrimination isn’t just limited to the U.S. either. Canada lacks any protections against hair-based discrimination of natural or protective hairstyles in the workplace, schools or public spaces. Notable cases, including a woman who was sent home from work for having cornrows and another who was told her hair could 'scare' customers, exist and make a strong case for federal protections. Created in 2019, #TheCROWNAct (which stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair”) would prohibit race-based discrimination, so no one can be denied employment or educational opportunities by extending statutory protection to hair texture and protective hairstyles. It’s time to put an end to hair discrimination and in the United States, support for The CROWN Act is growing.
