Do you know how many people asked if American Sign Language interpreters were possible for the 2025 ? Just one, and that’s all it took for me to be on a mission all the way back at the 2024 event. Because if one person had the tint bowls to ask, that meant there were likely more people that are in need of this support and may have been uncomfortable asking. Accessibility isn’t just elevators, ramps, or the antisensory lounge, though we crushed that all in year one. It means listening to people when they mention why they haven’t been able to be a part of the hair world before and seeing what I can do to make accommodations for everyone because IT’S NOT THAT HARD.
I couldn’t be more lucky, grateful, and PROUD to introduce you to our Main Stage educators, American Sign Language interpreters & .o.d.a.curls 🤩 Swipe to read all about these Alabama baddies that are coming to NY to grace us for 3 days of education surrounding beauty, business, and wellness!
Having and .o.d.a.curls presence helps ensure that every moment of the event is inclusive, accessible, and empowering for all. Offering ASL interpretation is one of many ways we honor our commitment to disability justice, inclusion, and building a space where everyone belongs in the beauty industry. Again, not PR, not for show, for YOU to understand there is a place and space for you to have the same access to education that everyone else has to the best of my ability because I didn’t do alllllllll of this to do it the same way it’s always been done.
Please let us know if you have any accommodations you may need, and my team and I will do our darnedest to make it happen for you! Email us at [email protected]
