What does hair care mean to a child growing up in a family of a different race?
In this episode of Hairitage Talks, Styles 4 Kidz Founder Tamekia Swint welcomes Camari Bolger for a conversation about transracial adoption, Black identity, textured hair, and belonging.
One of the first young people served by Styles 4 Kidz, Camari has been connected to Tamekia and the organization for more than 15 years. Their conversation explores his childhood hair-care experiences, his relationship with his hair and culture, and the importance of spaces where children feel seen and understood.
Together, they explore what foster and adoptive parents can learn by listening to adoptees, and how everyday care can help affirm a child’s identity and confidence.
Whether you’re an adoptive parent, foster parent, caregiver, adoptee, or advocate, join us for a conversation centered on lived experience and cultural connection.
