The University of Washington has been a part of Earth Day since the very first event on April 22, 1970. Every year, Earth Day provides a reminder of the importance of sustainability. This can be a good time to try to incorporate sustainability practices into your routines and also learn more about various aspects of sustainability.

Celebrating (But Not Touching) Black Women’s Hair

“I love my hair,” says Paula Houston, EdD, chief equity officer, UW Medicine Office of Healthcare Equity. “Every three weeks my hair is different. I put it in different styles, and I love that I can do that.”

Martine Pierre-Louis, equity, diversity and inclusion director for Harborview Medical Center, feels similarly. “I have always loved the texture of my hair, the capacity of it to take on different shapes, how playful I can be with it, and all of the different things it can do,” she says.
