Crown or Class – Documentary Film Trailer from Kaay on Vimeo.
Crown or Class is a Pan-African feature documentary that follows two young African women; one in Belgium, the other in Ghana — whose journeys into natural hair care unfold into a powerful exploration of identity, beauty, and belonging. What begins as a personal choice becomes a wider reflection on how Eurocentric beauty standards continue to shape African women’s self-worth across continents
The film explores questions like;
What is the identity of black women’s hair?
Why
is being “classy” often associated with African
women wearing straight hair wigs?
How do historical, social, and media-driven narratives influence the perception of natural African hair?
What does embracing natural hair symbolize in the journey of self-acceptance and cultural pride?
“This film is about unlearning imposed standards and reclaiming our African identity, strand by strand.” – Kwaku Sikahene-Adarkwa, Director
