About Author Story Time | Jaylene Clark Owens | A Black Girl And Her Braids
Join author Jaylene Clark Owens as she pens an ode to Black girls and braids, a dynamic duo. This empowering picture book shines a light on what braids mean to Black girls of all ages and shows how Black communities have managed to continuously make space for braids, paying homage to their origins while making fun and futuristic styles, despite rules and regulations attempting to condemn them. Braids of all lengths, colors, and styles are brought to life with detailed illustrations from Brittney Bond, crafting a timeless book which honors creativity, encourages confidence, and calls for Black girls to proudly show off their braids no matter what!
Attendees will receive gift bags with hair care samples sponsored by 4U by Tia, Dosso Beauty, and Taliah Waajid, while supplies last.
