My Crown My Way

In "My Crown My Way," the mother and daughter authors have created a children's book that amplifies the importance of the C.R.O.W.N. (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) Act. The act is not a law in all 50 states yet, and without federal legislation, the loophole in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that protects race but not hair as a trait correlated with race will continue to allow race-based hair discrimination to be legal in public schools and the workplace.This is why the authors Namia McCallop and Naheemah McMicheaux McCallop shine a bright spotlight on the importance of embracing natural hair and honoring the rich tapestry of cultures that enrich our global community. Through the pages of this engaging children's book, young readers embark on an inspiring adventure that promotes a sense of self-discovery, self-love and self-acceptance. Inspired by the powerful movement to end hair discrimination nationwide and elevate cultural awareness, "My Crown, My Way" is a social-emotional-learning multi-generational engaging children's book that is poised to make a positive impact on young minds, nurturing a generation that values and celebrates the beauty of every crown.Together we can create a more inclusive world for all by championing race-based hair texture and protective styles such as braids, locs, twists, and knots in the workplace, public schools, and pools.
