This is a great resource to inspire young learners about their Afro hair. During the difficult first few months of lockdown World Afro Day organised The Top Ten Model Competition to give kids a positive focus. Young people (aged 6-18 years) sent in video clips and built their confidence by showing their catwalks and discussing their hair stories. The judges were Dr Zoe Williams, Supermodels Eunice Olumide and Celai West; Vogue photographer, Misan Harriman, Afro campaigner, Ruby Williams and Grooming entrepreneur, Aaron Wallace. Winners had a transformational experience.
