GRWM: A Runway Experience

“How I grew to believe Black hair has power, genius, and magic in it, defying gravity and limitation. I mean, look at how marvelous it is: Black hair grows up and out.” - Michaela Angela Davis. Black hair is marvelous and should be celebrated. Just imagine how this world would look if Black hair was appreciated and honored. Well, you don’t have to “imagine” anymore!

On February 24, 2024, Imani Batts of CatherineTrendz successfully highlighted, celebrated, and showcased Black hair through fashion, and it was a sight for inspired eyes. “GRWM” Runway Experience was its name, and an “experience” is what it was! This show held beautiful performances, vending experiences, and an exclusive sneak peek into a mini-documentary produced by Imani and Eric Lewis of Manuscript LLC.

But wait, there’s more!

The proceeds from this experience will go towards hairstyles and haircuts for Black children for Easter. This was a beautiful night and I enjoyed every moment. Imani, my beautiful friend, I am so proud of you. Thank you for being a trailblazer and reminder to Black girls and women worldwide. You will go down in history for considerable reasons, the biggest being your decision to walk in your purpose.
