a true hair-story 👑 🧡 just under half of the states in the US don’t protect against race-based hair discrimination in the workplace. the crown act would change that. we recognize that our reach extends far beyond your shower shelves, so to bring awareness to this legislation inspired by The CROWN Act, we held a panel discussion to hear perspectives + hair-stories from different women in different industries, one of whom was new york assemblywoman Michaelle Solages (she/her) ✨ 📣 a massive thank you to our other panelists: professional hairstylist + stylist collective member Yene Damtew (she/her) + amika HR business partner Malika Maule (she/her) and our Director of DEI + Social Impact + esteemed moderator, Gianne D. (she/her)! head to the link below to sign the petition to get #thecrownact passed in all 50 states of the US! sign here: https://lnkd.in/dpdbAxd

amika 🧡s pride! nothing could rain on our parade (literally): it was hot + rainy but the amika team showed up + showed out while walking the NYC pride parade!  we handed out 2,000 perk up plus samples to new + old friends along the parade route. who doesn't love connecting IRL? why did we take part in pride? because amika means friend + we take that seriously with our mane-motto: all hair (+ all humans) are welcome 🌈 #lifeatamika #NYCPride #Pride2024"

how do we maintain a bonded team in a remote workplace environment? easy! by creating fun opportunities for our teams to connect IRL: like getting to hang at citi field for the Yankees vs Mets subway series together 🧡 ⚾ #lifeatamika
