I’ve decided to put my Puffy Hair Project on the front burner. I made the decision in response to recent hostile events to young black girls’ hair. I wrote up my outrage about these on the blog My Brown Baby. And I decided to fight back with this project. Here’s a description:
“The Puffy Hair Project is a children’s book of text and photographs featuring kids, teens, adults, and families with naturally puffy hair. It is designed to provide children of African heritage and other puffy-haired kids with positive images. The Project was started by writer/performer/educator Aya de Leon to share a book she had created for her own daughter with other families and children.”
