Posted By: rickey johnson on June 15, 2023 read lawsuit: https://www.lieffcabraser.com/injury/hair-... shared by https://www.linkedin.com/in/ernest-crim-ii... Ernest Crim III is an Anti-Racist Educator and hate crime survivor who uses (Black) historical narratives to empower and educate families and train educators through an equitable lens. Mr. Crim, a south side of Chicago native and University of Illinois graduate, is a former high school history educator of 12 years, who now advocates for social justice issues and teaches Black History to the world through social media with a platform that reaches over 2 million people monthly. This is one of the most important videos I’ve ever made! Did you know that Black women who have gotten hair relaxers from companies selling products such as Dark & Lovely, OS Olive Oil Relaxer, Just for Me, and African Pride, are twice as likely to get cancer??? 😦 I learned this recently while at the Natural Hair Show, but was relieved to also find out that there’s a law firm working to bring about justice in this case with a FEDERAL lawsuit. 👇🏾 “On January 17, 2023, Lieff Cabraser and co-counsel at Equal Justice Society and Serna & Associates filed a federal injury lawsuit in California against L’Oreal, Softsheen, Dermoviva, and others for cancer allegedly caused by repeated use of hair relaxer products. The lawsuit brings claims arising from defendants’ negligent, willful, and wrongful conduct in connection with the design, development, manufacture, testing, packaging, promoting, marketing, distribution, labeling, and/or sale of the products known as Dark & Lovely, OS Olive Oil Relaxer, Just for Me, and African Pride.” They are also receiving assistance from the Honorable Judge Stephanie Jones who is the Founder & CEO of Omega Daughter. 🙏🏾 In a country where many Black women still need laws to protect their natural hairstyles and are at risk for being fired for wearing them, this is important! 🚨If you know someone who may have been impacted by this, send this to them ASAP and fill out the email list form in my comments. If you have been impacted by these toxic chemicals, or have EVER used them to get a perm, please fill out the form on HairRelaxerCase.org (link below too). 🗣️ This is about awareness AND justice, so let’s get to it! ✊🏾 #hairrelaxer #perm #blackhistory #california #federal #lawsuit #cancer #justice #blackwomen #blackgirlmagic #blackgirls #africanamerican #loreal #juneteenth #hairsalon #hairstyle #cancersurvivor #antiracism #deistrategy If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
