Dear Jane,

This is Maria from Baltimore.. Again, I think that the work that you are doing is so very important to the health and well-being of women of color, especially young girls, and I will trumpet the value of your product line far and wide ( I can be especially good at this:_)).

I mentioned a poem about hair that was written by a friend of mine, Dr. Signithia Fordham, who teaches at the University of Rochester. As you will see, it is a powerful testament to the critical role that hair plays in the constitution of self throughout life. I am attaching a pdf of the poster that was created for a public presentation of the poem by Dr. Fordham at a conference last fall. Should you desire a copy of the poster, please let me know.

Best regards to you and continued success!

Be well,

Maria Phillips
