Global Crowns is a multi-sited ethnographic research project that explores the emotional, cultural, and political dimensions of natural hair among Black women across the African Diaspora. Led by Dr. Nicole Dezrea Jenkins, this project investigates how Black women navigate hair-based discrimination, beauty standards, and identity politics in a variety of global contexts. Drawing from in-depth interviews, participant observation, and digital storytelling, Global Crowns centers the lived experiences of Black women who wear their natural hair in countries including the United States, Cuba, France, Brazil, and Burundi, with additional sites planned across Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa. The study uses a Black feminist methodological framework, emphasizing care, ethics, and cultural specificity in both virtual and in-person data collection. This research also integrates AI technologies to support multilingual transcription, emotion mapping, qualitative data analysis, and visual storytelling. In doing so, Global Crowns expands the possibilities for feminist ethnography by combining digital innovation with community-based fieldwork. Ultimately, Global Crowns seeks to shift public narratives and institutional practices by documenting the global dimensions of natural hair discrimination and its celebration, affirming the cultural significance of Black hair as a site of power, resistance, and pride.
