Dove is teaming up with LinkedIn for a #BlackHairIsProfessional effort. Black women in particular have been targeted for wearing their natural hair, including styles like braids, locs, and twists, to work. Dove’s The CROWN Coalition is actively working on ending race-based hair discrimination in America and led the official CROWN Act legislation in California back in 2019. Now their new partnership with LinkedIn is “working to change workplace behavior by training and educating one million hiring managers and human resources professionals on inclusive and equitable business practices” by giving them free access to 10 LinkedIn Learning courses. YPulse’s Representation in Action trend research shows Gen Z is the most diverse gen to date and they’re demanding inclusion from brands as well as the places they learn and work. (Essence)
