Born out of passion for community, this non-profit aims to make a tangible difference.
A vision to strengthen our black peers
Donate to Support.
The Crown Collective Donation Inc. is a rising non-profit that is developing with the hopes of reaching the corners of Tampa Bay. Many of those who buy braiding hair or provide braiding hair services have a fair amount of unused braiding hair just sitting in a closet, cabinet, and stored away. This is a space where unused braiding hair can be donated and given to those who will benefit
Built on Black History.
In many African countries braiding was and is an art form, holding societal and marital status. While black women were slaves in America, many would braid hair into maps and often hide small seeds or gold in the strands. Although slavery ended in 1865, the racism attached to black hair is still vastly prevalent. As society’s Euro-centric beauty standards change, one thing remains constant: the scrutinization of black hair styles while simultaneously participating in the appropriation of many black hairstyles. We will focus on creating ways to aid the black community while fostering ways to restore the connection to the cultural importance of braids.
Our Goals.
Our mission is to provide empowerment and confidence through the gift of braiding hair where the connection in the black community can be strengthened while emphasizing the importance of black hair care.
