Harmful chemicals lurk in extensions and braiding hair marketed to Black women, study finds Researchers at the Silent Spring Institute found compounds linked to cancer and other health harms in both synthetic and human hair samples.

Black women deserve better. New research reveals harmful chemicals linked to cancer in hair extensions and braiding products marketed to our sisters, mothers, and daughters. They shouldn't have to choose between their health and their hair. We need regulation and safer options NOW!

Angry cloud.

Black women face prolonged unemployment While the U.S.' overall unemployment rate fell to 4.4% in the most recent jobs report, it rose to 7.3% among Black women. Jericka Duncan spoke with two women who have faced prolonged unemployment to…

While America has a 4.4% unemployment rate, it's SURGED to 7.3% for Black women. This is economic injustice in real time. When DEI programs are dismantled and federal jobs cut, Black women pay the price FIRST. We will not be silent. Economic justice IS civil rights.

A street scene in Saly, Senegal shows a woman and a young boy standing close together at the edge of a paved road, waiting for a taxi or shared ride. The woman wears a long, flowing dress patterned in deep red, blue, and white with a matching headscarf, standing upright and watchful. The boy leans toward her, dressed in a bright yellow tunic and pants, his expression alert as he looks toward the road. Behind them, several yellow sacks sit near the curb, and a small roadside shop with a green awning, red-painted walls, and an open metal door fills the background. Utility poles, wires, and worn surfaces frame the scene, while strong midday light casts crisp shadows across the asphalt. Interpretive text: The photograph captures a moment of waiting shaped by routine and care. In the heat and noise of the street, their stillness suggests patience and reliance on shared systems of movement, where travel depends not on schedules but on timing, chance, and trust.

"Saly, Waiting for a Ride"

A pause at the roadside, color and care held steady while they wait for a ride.
