It explores the ritualistic experience of hair care and its importance in building connection and relationships between families; societal expectations and perceptions surrounding hair types and styles and how that influences us as individuals; and the empowering journey of self-acceptance. Interwoven is a biographical sequence of poems and short stories sharing the lives of Black women through music, movement, and spoken word.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Krystal S.
