Before the term "dreadlocks" was imposed by colonial lenses, locked hair served as a profound expression of culture, spiritual devotion, and social identity across the African continent. In this premiere episode of our investigative mini-series, we explore what locs signified long before outside definitions disrupted our original meanings.
We examine hair as an encoded language—a marker of rites of passage, social rank, and memory—and discuss how colonization criminalized and erased these practices. Join us as we look at the importance of reclaiming our history, moving beyond the surface to uncover the deeper, deliberate story your hair has always carried
