Hello comrades, my university is hosting a graduate student conference on natural hair and each presenter has the chance to win $1000 towards their grad school fees. I want to enter but I don't really have a topic. What kinds of topics would you want to see discussed at a conference on natural hair? Presenters have the option of doing a report/paper, powerpoint, poster, or another artistic exhibit.

The connection between natural hair and improved physical health. I see more natural hair expos, that also focus on physical health. In terms of exercise and diet.

How about the ways natural hair will contribute to career success. I see too many articles on how natural hair will negatively affect job performance. But maybe there's some data out there that just needs to be dug out that shows just the opposite.

I've seen the exact opposite presented and discussed, successful women w/natural hair. That and the fact that hair status (natural or not) has nothing to do w/career success.

Why is natural hair so important to black women? A lot of people do not understand the big deal. I mean the history of us and our hair and it not being acceptable is deep.

Are there any topics that you already feel well versed in? Or are there any topics about natural hair that you just love to discuss? That is where you may want to start because then your knowledge and passion will come from there. It may sound more natural versus text book.

Dang! A few of my ideas are taken! I am so proud of you! Way to go! I know you will do well? I know this has nothing to do with what you asked but how are YOU going to do your hair? I know it will be gorgeous!
