00:00Van Van, tell us what you love most about your hair.

00:05My hair is beautiful. I love it.

00:08And it's amazing because I can do different hairstyles.

00:12Okay. She likes doing different hairstyles.

00:15Okay. I love it.

00:16Faith, how can Crown Coalition organization engage Gen Alpha

00:21and encourage them to love their crowns?

00:25I really think to capture and encourage Gen Alpha,

00:28I really think we need to push Crown Clubs.

00:30Wait, I just want to stop for a second.

00:32Are y'all familiar with what Gen Alpha even is?

00:34This is the first time I'm even hearing about Gen Alpha.

00:37Okay, how old is Gen Alpha?

00:39That's you? Are you Gen Alpha?

00:40No, no, this is her generation.

00:42No, that's Gen Alpha.

00:43Yeah, this is her generation.

00:43So I really think we should move Crown Clubs,

00:46which are spaces, fun spaces for youth to explore self-love,

00:50identity, and hair pride.

00:52I really think we should start those in elementary schools.

00:55I did have one in my high school,

00:56but I think if we start younger

00:58and really target that self-love early,

01:00I think it would really help.
