Overview
"A powerful one-woman play transformed into a study guide-celebrating the beauty, history, and resilience of Black hair."
Hair Me: A Journey Through the Rich Tapestry of Black Hair is more than a stage play-it is a cultural testimony, an educational resource, and a spiritual reflection on identity and resilience.
Blending poetry, performance, and history, Leslie Saint-Julien-an American playwright, actor, poet, and educator-takes readers on an unforgettable journey that honors the legacy of Black hair. From the auction block to the kitchen chair, from whispered memories to bold declarations, Hair Me explores how beauty, culture, and faith shape selfhood and survival.
This educational edition offers:
The Full Script of the award-winning one-woman stage play
Educational Notes with cultural, historical, and social context
An Appendix & Glossary for classrooms and community study
Critical Questions & Reflection Prompts to inspire dialogue on identity, beauty, and belonging
As a Christian woman of God, Leslie honors her Haitian roots while making clear that her artistic invocation is not about practicing Vodou but about reclaiming ancestral rhythm and history as part of cultural truth. Her words uplift, educate, and invite healing-while remaining anchored in faith.
With bold storytelling and unflinching honesty, Leslie invites readers and students alike to challenge harmful narratives, reclaim their crowns, and celebrate the beauty of Black hair in every form.
When the hair speaks... listen.
