My Locs Are Professional Scholarship
The My Locs Are Professional Scholarship was created for young Queens and Kings who have experienced hair discrimination towards their Locs. After hearing countless occasions of young Queens and Kings who have lost their jobs, were deprived of graduating from high school and were denied different opportunities due to their Locs, we have decided to take action and serve our future "Locpreneurs" by launching the My Locs Are Professional Scholarship.
Our mission is to:
1. Bring awareness and attention to the discriminatory actions against those with Locs
2. Support those who have been affected by hair discrimination by providing funds to assist with the start of a business of their own.
3. To be a reminder that our Locs are professional.
With your purchase of the "MY LOCS ARE PROFESSIONAL." T-shirt, a portion of proceeds will be donated to a student to help with their monetary business needs.
For our very first scholarship, the proceeds will be donated to Akarri Johnson, a 15 year old from North Carolina who was fired from his very first job because of his Locs.
