We are delighted to extend a formal invitation to you for the Oklahoma Barbers & Cosmetologists Specializing in Afro Textured Hair Mixer, hosted by Cut It Forward. This exclusive gathering will take place at Chicken N Pickle located at 8400 N Oklahoma Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK 73114 on October 11, 2023, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM upstairs in "The West Room" with private access to the Rooftop Bar Lounge. Please note that this event is by invitation only.

At Cut It Forward, our mission is clear: To provide culturally specific hair and skin care resources for foster and adopted children of color and their caregivers through our various programs. We recognize the challenges that many children of color face when entering foster and adoptive care, with their culturally specific hair and skin care needs often unmet or misunderstood. This can result in a disconnection from their culture. We firmly believe that every child entering care, and every caregiver opening up their home, deserves support in addressing these unique needs. Through our various programs, we are committed to empowering these families.

But this event is about much more than just our mission – it's about celebrating the vibrant world of Afro-textured hair and the incredible professionals like yourself who make it all possible.

It's not just another evening; it's an opportunity to:

Indulge in Delicious Refreshments: Savor mouthwatering food and beverages from Chicken N Pickle while mingling with Oklahoma's finest hair and beauty professionals. Imagine delightful conversations and connections over delectable bites!

Meet Our Energetic Team: Interact with our enthusiastic team members, including founders and board members, and learn about the incredible impact we are creating in our community.

Get Inspired: Hear stories from individuals whose lives have been transformed through Cut It Forward's programs. Feel the power of making a difference in our community.

Join the Movement: Explore the various ways you can contribute to our cause. Whether you become a workshop facilitator, volunteer your time, serve on a committee, join the board of directors, or join the Oklahoma Ethnic Hair Directory, you can play a pivotal role in our mission.

The evening will be filled with fun, inspiration, and connection. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to celebrate the beauty of afro-textured hair and the professionals behind it. Your presence is not only appreciated but essential in helping us make a positive impact on children of color in foster and adoptive care.
