Listening to lived experience.
Rich Roots is interested in gathering and sharing insight into the lived experiences of Black women and girls around hair, beauty and self-perception — the stories behind the statistics, and the patterns that only appear when you listen to many of them at once.
We welcome collaboration with researchers, universities, charities and organisations who share this interest. Research reports and findings will be published here as they become available.
