Can’t believe that ONE WHOLE YEAR AGO we were packing down our first exhibition on hair - Plaits, Princesses + Pink Moisturiser.

We want to show some appreciation to Mulan @mulannoir the mind (soul and body) behind Spring Melanin - the safe space for nurturing, healing conversation & relaxation for dark skin womxn of colour. We had the chance to chat about mental health and well-being, Mulan’s experience living with endometriosis, working as a model and building Spring Melanin from the ground up. Mulan is doing THE most! You can read the interview in The Salon zine, get yours from the link in bio 👆🏾Follow Spring Melanin @springmelanin for holistic events and workshops ✨🌿🌻 . . Beautiful photo, shot and styled by @natevisuals . . #blackhairstories #afrohair #photography #heritage #visualart #blackwomen #blackhair #melanin #blackgirlmagic #thesalon #blackhairandheritage #springmelanin #darkskin
Was so excited to be invited to Monoux College last week to talk about history, curating and erasure. Featuring some of my historical and archaeological faves (who we didn’t learn about at school/ during my Archaeology degree...👀) inc. the dark skinned Whitehawk woman who lived in Sussex nearly 6000 years ago, and the first Black woman to be published, Phillis Wheatley. Swipe ➡️ for a snapshot! Big thanks to @monouxcollege for having me! . . #blackhairstories #afrohair #photography #heritage #visualart #blackwomen #blackhair #melanin #blackgirlmagic #thesalon #blackhairandheritage #blackhistory
