EP 2 - Simone Wright: Finding Your Voice as a Black Woman, Natural Hair Journeys and Dual Identity's

In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Simone Wright, a Community Image Activist and Cultural Curator hailing from Toronto, ON.

Simone is the visionary behind “Parting The Roots,” a grassroots organization dedicated to rectifying misconceptions surrounding Black hair.

Her journey began after encountering a flawed Diversity and Inclusion training that failed to acknowledge the intricacies of Black hair.

Through Parting The Roots, Simone is on a mission to educate and empower individuals about the significance of Black hair. She passionately advocates for the understanding that hair is more than just a style—it's an integral part of one's identity.

Whether it's curly or straight, dyed or braided, hair holds profound cultural and personal significance.

Join us as we dive deep into Simone's inspiring journey and explore the intersection of identity, culture, and activism.

Tune in to gain valuable insights and perspectives on the importance of embracing diversity and celebrating individuality.
