African American hair has and continues to be a source of contention in the American workplace. Often Black people face discrimination and punishment for wearing their hair in natural afro-centric and protective hairstyles. Many workplaces and schools have been known to ban and punish those who do not wear their hair in styles that adhere to Eurocentric standards. And officials deem Black hairstyles as “unprofessional” and “unkempt”.
“The Talk” has been a critical part of the Black family experience, teaching children how to interact with police. But how does this change when your child is on the autism spectrum? Broadcast journalist Esther Dillard explores this in her compelling new book that drops February 15, 2024 entitled: Raising An Autistic Young Adult: A Parents’ Guide to ASD Safety, Communication, and Employment Opportunities to Empower Black and Brown Caregivers and Their Families.
