The Art of Black Hair and Beauty
May
21
7:00 PM19:00

The Art of Black Hair and Beauty

Join the Brooklyn Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for an inspiring evening in celebration of May Week, as we honor the theme: The Art of Black Hair and Beauty with a special film screening and RED Talks conversation featuring THE BLACK BEAUTY EFFECT on Wednesday, May 21 | 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

We are proud to welcome Emmy-nominated producer CJ Faison, founder of FaceForward Productions, for an engaging dialogue on his groundbreaking docuseries The Black Beauty Effect, featured on Netflix and Comcast. The evening will include a screening of Episode: The Crown Effect, a compelling exploration of the cultural significance, influence, and challenges surrounding Black hair.

The Black Beauty Effect exposes the realities of the multi-billion-dollar Black beauty industry—its origins, its global influence, and the urgent need for progress. For too long, mainstream beauty standards have failed to reflect the richness, creativity, and power of Black beauty. Although Black culture shapes trends worldwide, the innovators behind these movements are often overlooked.

This event is an opportunity to reclaim the narrative, uplift the voices shaping the industry, and engage in meaningful conversation around identity, representation, and legacy in beauty

6:00 PM18:00

Black Hair is Art. Black Hair is Power. Black Hair is Business.

Black Hair is Art. Black Hair is Power. Black Hair is Business.

Black hair is more than style—it’s history, politics, health, and a thriving business. Join the Brooklyn Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. as we celebrate the beauty and complexity of Black hair during May Week with a special evening at BRIC (647 Fulton St, Brooklyn, NY 11217) on Monday, May 19, from 7–10 PM.

This unforgettable night will feature three power-packed panels exploring:

The Politics of Black Hair – Tackling discrimination, policy, and the journey to protect our crowns. The Health of Black Hair – Centering wellness, carcinogens in products, and the importance of hair health. The Business of Black Hair – Showcasing entrepreneurs and the billion-dollar Black hair economy.

🌟 Special Guest: Tremaine Wright NY State official and proud Delta woman, Tremaine will lead a powerful fireside chat on sponsoring the CROWN Act in New York, the legislative battles to get it passed, and how current DEI efforts impact Black women in corporate and community spaces.

🌟 Lisa Price, Founder of Carol’s Daughter From kitchen chemist to global icon, Lisa built Carol’s Daughter into a household name. After selling to L’Oréal in 2014, she reacquired her brand in 2025, reclaiming its vision and leadership. She joins us to share her full-circle journey in Black entrepreneurship and ownership.

🌟 Simone Mair, Co-founder of CURLFEST As Operations Director of CURLFEST and founding member of Curly Girl Collective, Simone has helped build the largest natural beauty festival in the country. She brings expertise in brand-building, event production, and celebrating Black beauty on a global scale.

🎨 Visual Artist Spotlight: Soror Nachae Davis Born and raised in Harlem, Soror Nachae Davis is a multidisciplinary artist and fashion designer whose work honors Black womanhood through powerful visual storytelling. Her series, ‘Onyx Linea’ (“Black Lines”), explores the connection between hair and identity in Black women’s lives. Created during a transformative period in her own journey, this collection is a striking reflection of personal and ancestral reclamation.

This is a night to uplift, educate, and empower. Whether you wear your hair in coils, locs, twists, or a silk press, your crown deserves community and celebration.
