World Afro Day is part of a movement towards positivity in the black and mixed-race community and it all centers around the afro, a cultural symbol that’s been part of history for hundreds of years. By removing the biases associated with the afro, this day is all about making the afro beautiful and accepted.
World Afro Day aims to change those biases by helping people all over the world through spotlight events that normalize afros and an education program that teaches children about afro hair and society. This day is about empowerment, equality, and empathy through global networking and focuses on heritage as a new form of beauty.
