Reclaiming Our "Hairitage" with Lindsey Farrar

Today's History Story: The Crown Act

Our people were born wearing crowns – but internal and external barriers exist that might impede us from donning them. Today’s guest, however, is harnessing the force of media to highlight the strength within our locks.

Lindsey Farrar is an entrepreneur and strategist driven by her mission to shape culture and nurture young leaders. From this she co-founded CRWNMAG, a magazine centered around natural hair and the women who embrace it.

Brace yourself for an episode that might lead you to question—and maybe uncover—the profound power residing atop your own head.
