The sense of camaraderie was palpable on Saturday, Feb. 8, in ASU's Secret Garden. Zaria, a club within the Black African Coalition at ASU, kicked off Black History Month 2020 with their signature event, Head Wraps in the Park.
Communications sophomore Victoria Whitehurst, interdisciplinary studies sophomore J'Ana Massey, public health sophomore Arianna Tillman, and Director of Community and Municipal Relations Kenja Hassan were among those who came together to both teach and learn about head wraps.
Whitehurst said the wraps are a personal preference and a way to express themselves and their African American culture.
"We are just showing women how to put their head wraps on in different styles," Whitehurst said. "And we are just discussing the significance of head wraps and what it means to them."
