The 2014 “Natural Hair Parade and Festival” September 6

The Isis Project, a nonprofit organization, invites you to the 4th Annual Naturally Isis Natural Hair Parade and Festival happening in Dallas, TX on September 6, 2014. The parade and festival founded by Isis Brantley was created to celebrate, promote and cultivate the love and acceptance for natural hair beauty standards. This year our goal is to highlight awareness of the diseases that plague our communities such as LUPUS, ALPOECIA, SICKEL CELL ANEMIA, and AIDS.

The Parade and Festival is hosted by Sam Putney and Dj Frances Jay, featuring Dallas’ own Grand Marshall Erykah Badu in Sunny South Dallas. Parade begins at 10 am starting at Gould and MLK ending at the Blues Palace. Our featured float will host the NATURAL HAIR BABIES. The Natural Hair Festival begins at 7pm at Pan African Connection and is totally free to the public. There will be live entertainment, workshops, children activities, speakers, poets, and a host of food and product vendors. In addition, Irma P. Hall will present the “The Irma P. Hall Living Legend Award” to legendary Jazz pianist, Roger Boykin. The “Swagg Award” will be given to Benita Arterberry, an internationally renowned gospel vocalist.
