CURL P.W.R.

What is Curl PWR?

CURL P.W.R (power with representation) was established to create a place that welcomes the discussion of and seeks a solution for social issues faced by People of Color in our UMBC community, specifically African American/African/Black people. This will happen through events that inform and connect individuals. This is so that we may come together as essential members of our community and so that others may be informed about how to be allies to their peers. What is one thing that connects us all? Our hair. This feature that connects us can be used for unity in our community as well as the education of others.

What do we do?

CURL P.W.R works throughout the Fall and Spring semesters to plan fun and engaging events for its members to enjoy. These events include hair tips and demonstrations in which we will share our favorite ways to style our hair. We love to plan “Style Nights” where our members demonstrate tutorials on their favorite ways to style their hair. We offer Hair Services, including haircuts and styling from those with professional experience with hair. We also implement events that do not revolve around hair, such as movie nights and discussions about topics in everyday society that impact us as People of Color.
