Du'Bois A'Keen, Tendayi Kuumba and Courtney J. Cook, performers in the Urban Bush Women company, list words used to describe black hair in the "Hair & Other Stories" show in Stewart Theatre on Friday. The mission of the Urban Bush Women is to "bring the untold and under-told histories and stories of disenfranchised people to light through dance."
Urban Bush Women’s Hair & Other Stories was performed on Friday at Stewart Theatre. Urban Bush Women was founded 30 years ago by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, who was hoping to establish a company that captures the energy of the African-American community and would inspire others.
