"In response to my daughter‘s dissatisfaction with her hair, I started to engage intensively with the topic of representation and the search for identity. That's how the idea for My Hair, My Crown came about.⁠ [...]

As Black girls, my daughters experience other things than those I experienced as a white girl. ⁠
⁠Working on this project has not only strengthened my daughters, but also me. It helps me to better understand my children‘s questions and insecurities and to develop solutions as a family."
