A Creation Story

To ease her daughter’s growing boredom, a mother begins a magical, mythical story about the origins of their hair while she carefully braids and oils her daughters tresses.

A Creation Story is about family and history. It is a celebration of mothers and daughters, community and tradition.

The premiere screening of A Creation Story took place on April 28, 2011 at Temple University. The screening was followed by a panel-led discussion about Black hair with Dr. Noliwe Rooks, Dr. Yaba Blay and Professor Kamau Kenyatta. Moderated by Dr. Karima Bouchenafa.
