Efforts continue to pass CROWN Act legislation in Pflugerville. The community has been invited to a discussion on the Act on Feb. 21.
"My dream is that baby Joy experiences joy and has no negative experience or thought about her hair," said Styles.
Styles, along with Angel Carroll and Yolanda Gary-Fisher, are some of the women working to raise awareness of efforts to pass the CROWN Act in"The CROWN Act is really about doing what’s right for our community, our community of color, so we don’t have to worry about going into work and changing who we are because we have braids or we wear our hair naturally," said Styles.is a law that prohibits discrimination based on hairstyles associated with race.
"I remember in 8th grade I was forced to cut off my braids for school," said Carroll. "They were seen as distracting, and that experience has stayed with me even into adulthood." Crown stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair. The City of Austin recently passed a similar legislation.
