Curls on the Block
Curls on the Block: attracting young women of all curls and color to embrace explore and empower their beauty inside and out. How they look!
Curls on the Block is building the connections between beauty and STEAM. (science, technology, engineering, art and math)
What do 7-16 year old girls care about most---? There are less than 5% of women employed in the STEM fields! Representation matters and we can't get women in if they don't explore it as youth! Besides---girls are already using STEAM they just didn't realize the connections. That's where COTB comes in! Successfully teaching girls to embrace, explore and empower their natural selves and using STEAM to address the needs of the curly hair community while looking at how media impacts their definition of beauty. Curls on the Block was created to support the conversations, exploration and environment necessary to combat low self esteem and offer more insight to a healthy appreciation for curly hair and overall well being. Join the #curlycrew and post instagram pictures of you loving your curly 'do!

Ten years ago I pitched my idea and won a start up investment that would lead to opportunities, access and impact.
What a beautiful, CHIC journey.

Dr. Justina Ford’s name adorns plaques and statues across Denver, where she delivered more than 7,000 babies as the city’s first licensed Black woman physician. Now, an affordable housing building in Five Points, the neighborhood where she lived and worked for 50 years, bears her name.
The newly christened Justina at Five Points, formerly Brunetti Lofts, offers a rare commodity in Denver’s housing market: family-sized affordable housing units.The 23-unit building, built in 2005, has 19 three-bedroom units. Rents range from $840 to $1,893 per month. Residents must make between 30% and 60% of Denver’s area median income, and specific income requirements vary depending on the unit.
“I do believe that in the last, five, ten years, maybe a little longer, housing here in Colorado has just gone crazy. I mean, I have a little two-bedroom townhouse, and I can't afford to move back in the neighborhood I grew up in because of the pricing. And it's just crazy,” said Daphne Rice-Allen, chair of the board at the Black American West Museum and Heritage Center, which is housed in Ford’s historic home in Five Points.
