Syreeta Scott '89 Shares Special Greeting for I Love My Roots Day

On Friday February 12th, GSFS celebrated our Third Annual I Love My Roots Day

I Love My Roots Day was formed by a group of BIPOC Faculty and Staff members who wanted students to demonstrate positive racial identity by showcasing their love for their hair and heritage on campus with other BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community members and allies. 

Students, faculty, and staff showed support and solidarity by wearing red to honor the day. Teachers read their favorite books highlighting Black hairstyles such as “Crown” and “I Love My Hair”, with their classes. GSFS Parent, Duafe Natural Hair Care Owner and Founder, and Alumna Syreeta Scott '89 also shared a special video greeting with the GSFS community, which you can watch below:
