What does natural hair really represent?

Across African societies, hair has long been a form of identity — communicating status, culture, and belonging. But through slavery, colonialism, and global beauty standards, these meanings were reshaped.

In this episode of the Sankofa Pan African Series, we explore the history and meaning of natural hair across Africa and the diaspora.

As part of our International Women’s Month series — African Women: Roots, Resistance & Rising — this episode examines how something deeply personal reflects broader histories of power.
