Subject: Commitment to Elevating Standards for Afro-Textured Hair Education in Alberta

Dear supporters

I hope this message finds you well. 

I am writing to share the exciting developments regarding the apprenticeship programs in Alberta for hairstylists, particularly the recent updates to the curriculum that now include a greater emphasis on textured hair education. 

As a dedicated group comprising myself, Julietta Raoul, Gladys Afolayon, and numerous passionate individuals within our community, we are committed to advancing professional standards within the afro-textured hair segment of the hair industry. The ongoing dialogue with the Alberta Apprenticeship Education Office has been instrumental, and we are eager to see the effective implementation of these vital initiatives.

Our profession is of utmost importance. Everyone deserves access to skilled hairstyling services, regardless of their hair type. It is essential that we continue to advocate for and establish monitored professional standards that reflect the diverse needs of our community.

Let us work together to ensure that our profession not only thrives but also equitably serves all individuals throughout Alberta.

Thank you for your continued support in this important endeavor.

Best regards,

Julietta Raoul
