Collection: Headwraps

Headwraps have been allies in the workplace for blacks – keeping them protected from harm, acting as a canary in the coal mine to communicate with our people, and as an unabashedly boisterous crown of pride – worn high and bright. It is a reminder of that which is already within (strength, royalty, and the legacy of an unbreakable people). It is the headwrap that serves as a unique historical commonality among Black women across the diaspora, and the history of surviving within societies that enforce assimilation. 

No matter where you travel throughout the African diaspora, whether it be throughout the United States, South America, or Africa, the headwrap (scarf) has stood the test of time and remains an important part of Black culture – pre-colonial, colonial, and present day. Using headwraps as protection is still a very valid act of self-care. As Maya Angelou said “Your crown has been bought and paid for. Put it on your head and wear it.”
