😍 Well, this is my favorite #partnership so far! Drawing on research by Ashleigh Shelby Rosette, LinkedIn and Dove have joined forces to raise awareness about hair discrimination. Why? Because... ❌ Black women are more likely to be viewed as unprofessional and less competent when they style their hair naturally. ❌ Organizations still have "color blind" dress codes that explicitly forbid hairstyles typically seen on black people, leading to a color-conscious result. ❌ People of African descent worldwide (not just in the U.S.) experience #bias because of their hair. ✔ #BlackHairIsProfessional.
