Kiana Davis is a Renton Technical College adjunct faculty, poet and author working on a project called Unyielding Roots. The project is on hair esteem and self-love amidst a world that doesn’t get your hair culture. (this story originally broadcast in February 14, 2020)

Davis also offers an exciting opportunity for Black women and youth. 4Culture is sponsoring a book that captures stories, poetry, etc. about Black women’s experiences with their hair.
