As part of Summer Fest 2024, The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion invites you to attend a roundtable conversation about hair and its reflection on our identities. From age, to race and culture, to gender expression and religion, hair plays a significant role in the way we see ourselves and how the world sees us. Special guest Salisha Thomas leads a courageous conversation with members of the AMDA community about the power of hair.
