Zaria Towery (L) and Ariel Stevenson (R) speak at "The Akilah Green Natural Hair Talk" on February 13th, 2019 in the University Student Union ballroom. The Natural Hair Talk aimed to uplift and encourage CSUSM's Black student, staff, and faculty to embrace their natural hair. The discussion was centered around real-life experiences throughout the history of American society and contemporary times. Audience members spoke on their various hair journeys and were offered constructive feedback on how to deal with the sometimes non-acceptance of Black hair in society .
