CUT IT FORWARD

We stand with this Texas student and their family in the unjust suspension. It's time to put an end to hair discrimination in places where our children should feel safe and protected. #HairEquality #TheCrownAct #naturalhair. ✊🏿💇🏿‍♂️ instagram.com/reel/Cxai7BLuW… 📸: Associated Press

July 3rd is the 4th Anniversary of The Crown Act, a monumental step toward ending hair discrimination and promoting inclusivity in our society. 👑💕 We want to hear from YOU! Share your personal stories about how The Crown Act has impacted your life. #CrownAct #HairEquality

Through our partnership, Thrive Causemetics® has donated their vegan + cruelty-free beauty products to Cut It Forward which will be used to support caregivers, foster parents, and adoptive parents of children of color. Thank you @thrivecausemetics for your support!

Hair and skin care is a crucial part of a child's cultural identity! We believe every child & caregiver deserves to be supported with these needs. If you are a caregiver who has adopted or is fostering a child of color, join our mailing list! Link in bio.

We believe in providing comprehensive support to every child and caregiver in the foster and adoption process, including culturally specific hair and skin care 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🌟 #OurMission #CulturalInclusion

There are so many happy days ahead, so let’s make today count. Be intentional in speaking positivity to yourself, others, and especially your children. Let’s start with this: “I LOVE my brown skin.”

Empowering children of color through culturally specific hair and skin care 💪🏾🌟 Join us in our mission to ensure every child in care feels confident & connected to their roots, starting with their hair & skin care needs. Together, we can make a difference! #OurWhy #FosterCare
