  • Freedom Hair movie screening

    Freedom Hair movie screening

    New Mexico is one of only three states that requires braiders to get a full-service cosmetology license (1,200 hours of training!), forcing braiders to waste time and money learning how to use chemicals and dyes, which are practices they do not engage in and outright reject.

    Freedom Hair is a film about one woman’s journey to change a different set of laws targeting braiders, ones preventing Natural Hair Stylists from owning a company. (Movie trailer HERE.)Learn how you can get involved in changing our state’s laws, sign the petition, and meet folks! Snacks provided.

    Workspace for Black Girls: Nurturing Growth, Healing, and Empowerment

    Foster self-discovery, collective healing, and community-led action in an affirming space where Black women gather to name our pain, share our stories, and explore pathways to healing from workplace trauma. Together, let’s reclaim our humanity, embrace joy, and renew our commitment to thriving in a world that often denies us the space to do so.

    This space is intentionally centered on Black women. We welcome non-Black women of color to join us as witnesses and allies, embracing the opportunity to listen, learn, and honor the space with humility.
