Wash Day Love

A joyful, intergenerational celebration of Black hair, family love, and cultural pride in the spirit ofHair LoveandCrown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut.

It’s wash day–Tasha’s least favorite day of the week!

Wash day means stinging eyes, aching back, and water everywhere, even in Tasha’s ears!

But with big sis comforting her, Mama humming to the music, and Granny telling stories of wash days past, the weekly ritual soon becomes more than a weekend chore–it’s a special bonding time for three generations of beautiful Black women.

Wash Day Lovewill affirm, empower, and reflect the lived experiences of Black children and resonate with families everywhere.
