ZARA'S WASH DAY
ZARA’s WASH DAY
Re-launched!
It’s wash day and Zara is not excited about wearing her hair in the same styles Mama usually creates. But once Mama takes Zara on a cultural journey to help her understand the significance of each hairstyle, wash days will never be the same!
Check out the re-launched version which includes a foreward by Academy Award-winning actor and New York Times best-selling author Lupita Nyong’o, a how-to tutorial on the cover Fulani-Inspired Afro Puff style, and a hairitage glossary that dives deeper into the historical context.
