EEW Magazine Online commends New Jersey for becoming the third state to ban discrimination against black students and employees over their natural hairstyles. The CROWN Act—Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair— passed in the state legislature of New Jersey.

Multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning member of the legendary Clark Sisters, Karen Clark Sheard, recently flaunted her natural hair on Instagram before getting it styled at the salon. “Happy Natural Hair Day,” wrote the 56-year-old, adding that she was letting “God’s hair breathe.”
