About this Event

Join us for a special free community screening of the inspiring film Freedom Hair.

This powerful movie tells the true story of Melony Armstrong, a determined mother who sets out to start a natural hair braiding business to achieve financial independence. Along the way, she faces unexpected obstacles from powerful cosmetology regulations and legal barriers in Mississippi while fighting for the right to practice her craft.

Freedom Hair highlights themes of entrepreneurship, cultural identity, resilience, and freedom—making it a meaningful story that resonates with communities across the country.

After the film, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a community conversation and Q&A, sharing thoughts about natural hair culture, economic empowerment, and the importance of protecting creative and cultural expression.

This event is open to the public and designed to bring the community together through storytelling, learning, and discussion.

Light refreshments will be provided.
