    8. The Next Generation

    The ban on Olympic swim caps for afro hair shows that we still have to fight for the protection of afro hair, however there are some brilliant Black changemakers that are changing the narrative when it comes to afro hair. In this episode Leanne speaks to Michelle DeLeon founder of World Afro Day, Lekia Lee of Project Embrace, Serlina Boyd of Cocoa Girl and Cocoa Boy magazine and Zine Alfa, member of the Halo Collective who is petitioning for the discrimination against afro hair to be added to the 2010 Equality Act. All of these women are paving the way for better representation of afro hair and are educating the next generation about afro hair so that they can grow up to embrace their natural hair.  You can sign Zina’s petition to add the discrimination against afro hair to the equality act here: https://www.change.org/p/uk-government-ban-hair-discrimination-in-the-uk  You can find the Halo Toolkit here: https://www.dove.com/uk/dove-self-esteem-project/help-for-parents/my-hair-my-crown.html You can find more about World Afro Day at: https://www.worldafroday.com/ You can find out more about Project Embrace at: https://www.projectembrace.org.uk You can buy and find out more about Cocoa Girl magazine at https://www.cocoagirl.com/ Follow us on Instagram @coiledpodcast and use the hashtag #coiledpodcast to join the conversation on Twitter.  Hosted and Produced by Leanne Alie Twitter: @leannealie Instagram: @leannealie_ Assistant Produced by Sylvie Carlos Twitter: @sylvie_frizzy Instagram: @frizzandgo The theme music and closing music was composed by Ony Iroha All other music was sourced from Uppbeat.io Learn more about your ad choices.

    7. Black Men Don’t Cheat...On Their Barbers!
    Nov 12 2021
    We cannot underestimate the relationships that Black men have with their hair. Getting a fresh trim is very important and it is criminal to cheat on your barber, but the relationship that Black men have with their hair and what really matters to them is something that isn’t discussed as widely. In this episode Leanne explores the changing relationship between Black men and their barbers and the importance of the barbershop space to the Black community by speaking to Dr Karis Campion from the Stephen Lawrence Research Centre and Mark Maciver, founder of Slider Cuts, as well as exploring some of the newer technologies for men’s hair maintenance such as male weaves, PRP and hair transplants.  If you’re thinking of undertaking a medical procedure to stimulate hair growth, make sure you consult a medical professional and do your own research.  Follow us on Instagram @coiledpodcast and use the hashtag #coiledpodcast to join the conversation on Twitter.  Hosted and Produced by Leanne Alie Twitter: @leannealie Instagram: @leannealie_ Assistant Produced by Sylvie Carlos Twitter: @sylvie_frizzy Instagram: @frizzandgo The theme music and closing music was composed by Ony Iroha All other music was sourced from Uppbeat.io Learn more about your ad choices.
