SYNOPSIS

In this visual essay, Luz Guzman, a young Dominican woman who lives in the Bronx, bridges the gap between who she is today and her roots. She explains that, in so many families, what you do to your hair - how you take care of it, style it, understand it - is passed down from your mothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, friends; and that who you are and how you present yourself to the world is owed to your community.
