Hello Dear Colleagues:

Thanks for your incredible interest in the Nappy New Year 2006 Calendar.  The good news is that I still have a very few copies available and will be glad to let you have them as long as they last.  The extra good news is that the ASU Bookstore also has a limited number of the calendars as long as those last too.  Please let our students know about this wonderful tribute and one-of-a-kind historic calendar.

Back and Front Covers of cultural art calendar featuring Dr. Daufin

As you know, ASU communications professor, Dr. E-K. Daufin (FSA VP for Faculty, membership chair for the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Minorities and Communication Division) is featured in a cultural photo art calendar that celebrates the beauty of natural hair on women of African descent.  The women in the calendar were selected as a result of an international call for art photos for women of the Diaspora sporting natural hair.

 

Daufin’s photographer is Hadley Bean, a Montgomery professional.

 

Bernadette Davis says she created the calendar, “…in the hope that it will be a daily reminder of how beautiful naturally kinky hair can be,” and she hopes to inspire and support women of color with kinky hair to, “resist the pressure to straighten, perm and add weave to their own hair.”

 

Designed by Maui Media in Orlando, Florida, the calendar is now available on line at www.nappynewyear.com, at Charis Books in Atlanta, Georgia and the Alabama State University Bookstore in Montgomery.
