THE EVOLUTION OF HAIR
Greetings
Some of you who attended Uzima Expo 2014 in July http://www.uzimaexpo.co.uk/) would have witnessed a tremendous presentation from Tina Lasisi called The Evolution of Afro Hair.
In addition to gaining a master degree in Biological Anthropology, Tina will beย carryout additional research for her Phd.ย She hasย been offered a PhD position in Cambridge, but no funding, andย has applied to two Americanย universities (Harvard and Penn State) as the professors there are keen to work with her on this project which also come with highย applicationย and examย fees.
Theย GOOD NEWSย is that the first target has beenย reached ยฃ1000 plusย ย via crowd funding as part of her financial income towards education admission fees, interviews etc.ย At present she is trying hard toย get as many sponsors as possible in the nextย few days soย thatย she can show to the funding committees that people are dedicated to thisย project. If she manages to raise an additional 1000-2000,ย then sheย could use thisย for field work/sample collection in multiple regions of Africa so thatย she canย finally have the scientific evidence to argue against all those who homogeniseย Africans.
ย check out her updated utube video for further information on how you can sponsor
