Educator Gives Powerful Speech on Black Hair & Diversity

Here at Bino & Fino we strive to provide content and information to help nurture young black & African minds.  Educator and mother Ama Karikari Yawson shares the same vision. She delivered a powerful speech at a TEDx event in June where she discussed the dangers of hair conformity & hair bullying in schools as a way of stifling personal development of black students during a period of rapid technological & culture change.

Ama Karikari Yawson '98 discusses hair conformity/uniformity rules in schools as a lens through which we might understand how schools fail to nurture innovation, creativity, and authenticity during these times of rapid technological and cultural change. Innovation, creativity, and authenticity are among the most important qualities to inspire in students.
