Description

Discovering My Natural Hair event series is an advanced, unique natural hair inspired series created with Brooklyn in mind. This is an event for the naturalistas that are looking for more in-depth conversations on main stream standards of beauty and natural hair.

Join us as we explore the corporate world of HR on the topic of natural hair when looking for work as well as when you are already in the work place. Is natural hair professional? How should I wear my hair/dress for an interview to land the job? Can my employer reprimand me about my hairstyle? What are my rights as an employee? Bring all of your questions to this event! Linda Onque, HR and Talent Acquisition Manager for Panasonic joins us to provide no holds barred answers we've been looking for. The BEST part is that Linda does NOT have natural hair, therefore her answers are sure to be non-biased. Your burning questions will be answered as Linda shares her do's and don'ts of HR as it relates to a corporate environment.

Of course this is a Bella Kinks event, there will be swag bags! :)
