Grant Writing Day Party! Your Invited to Join “The Grant Goddess Tana Yasu” online for a “Grant Writing Day Party!”

Greetings!
So we've created a survey to begin a study on Racism and Black Hair.
The timing couldn't be better - I mean when We have CONGRESS PERSONS ATTAKING other MEMBERS OF CONGRESS in regards to EYELASHES, (which are HAIR), It's time to DIG DEEP!
This research is sponsored by King County Public Health and falls in line with the scope of work we'd proposed in our grant application.
Our KICK-OFF was slightly delayed because we had technical assistance requirements that needed to be fulfilled, and we didn't want to jump the gun before we had a CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of what the County wanted as far as DELIVERABLES and REPORTING.
That situation in itself will be a whole podcast episode one day, but for now we're ready to get "Boots on the Ground" and tackle this WORK!!
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK, and if You feel INCLINED - PLEASE FILL OUT THE SURVEY!
We'll keep you posted on the next steps as our AWESOME PROGRAM ROLLS OUT!!!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

If you may be interested in hair care services there is a section at the end of the survey you can submit your contact information.
We will not SELL or GIVE AWAY YOUR DATA!

The first known examples of the hairstyle date back to ancient Egypt 🇪🇬 , where dreadlocks appeared on Egyptian artifacts. Mummified remains of ancient Egyptians with dreadlocks have even been recovered from archaeological sites.

The Old Testament also recounts the tale of Samson and Delilah in which a man's potency is directly linked to 'the seven locks on his head' and according to Roman accounts, the Celts were described to have 'hair like snakes' Germanic tribes, Greeks and the Vikings are all said to have worn dreadlocks too.

Rastafarianism however is something entirely separate. It was born in the 1930s when Ras Tafari was crowned emperor of 🇪🇹Ethiopia. When the emperor was forced into exile during an invasion, guerrilla warriors swore not to cut their hair until the emperor was reinstated. The religion resonated with the ideologies of the day, for example socialism, Marxism, nationalism and black power. It was therefore, seen as a threat to Christianity and came under attack by the authorities that tried to suppress the 'Rasta' movement and imprisoned those who possessed 'g***a'. Rastafarians smoked cannabis because they thought it prompted a clearer state of well - being. Their dreadlocks were thought to be disgusting and frightening, hence the term 'dread' which was later reclaimed by the 'Rasta' community.

The hairstyle was later brought into mainstream culture through the worldwide success of reggae artist 🇯🇲 Bob Marley. Sporting locks himself, he prompted an international interest in the style, and the anti establishment philosophy of Rastafarian culture.

Dreadlocks became increasingly popular and there are many reasons in various cultures for wearing them. They can be an expression of deep religious or spiritual convictions, a manifestation of ethnic pride. They can make a political statement, or simply be a fashion preference.
