How to Deal The University of Memphis SHCS

What does my hair have to do with it? Intern Group outreach
event:

As a Black woman, have you ever felt that your hair is a big
topic of conversation? Or did you think that you had to “look a certain way” to
be seen as professional or acceptable? If so, please join the U of M Counseling
Center Interns for our live podcast on Black Women’s hair and professionalism.
We will be discussing:

• Experiences of macro- and microaggressions in professional
spaces regarding Black hair.

• The pressure to conform to conventional beauty standards.

• Ideals and expectations of our hair.

• How we have established ourselves as professional Black
women.

In addition, we will also be taking questions from the
audience as a part of the discussion!
