About
General Information
Embrace The Crown (ETC) is an empowerment campaign birthed by Ifediora. It was founded in response to the shamming of afro-textured hair. Using various avenues, Embrace The Crown provides our audience with inspiring and evidence-based content related to natural hair.
Mission Statement
Empower Black women to EMBRACE their natural hair and raise awareness about cultural issues that affect the afro hair community. We dare challenge the standards of beauty that consider afro hair to be ugly.
Why Embrace The Crown
Stigmas against afro hair can create feelings of inferiority, shame, and low self-esteem in women and men with afro hair. Hence, pressure to conform to societal norms is developed in afro-haired individuals resulting in them altering their natural hair to the texture promoted as beautiful and presentable.
On April 1, 2016, Embrace The Crown was founded with a purpose to celebrate afro hair, empower Black women, men, and mixed individuals to embrace their hair, and push for afro hair representation in various industries. We dare challenge the standards of "beauty" that considers afro hair ugly.
Meaning Behind The Name
Ignoring the negative connotations ascribed to afro-textured hair, calling it a crown brings glorification and destroy the stigmas around it.
Our PRINCIPLES.
Embrace The Crown strives to...
Coming from a social justice perspective, we believe discriminating against anyone based on their physical form is wrong. We will speak against acts of discrimination and mockery Black women experience because of their hair, and advocate for more representation of afro-haired individuals in various industries.
