Sisterlocks Sisterhood at Juneteenth Atlanta

2017 we collectively gave tribute to Dr. JoAnne Cornwell, the founder of Sisterlocks and the many Sisterlocks consultants and educators for changing the dynamics of hair care. We acknowledged the achievements of Sisterlocks and included them in The Juneteenth Atlanta Black History Parade as well as in the Juneteenth Atlanta Black History Festival. Now we are preparing for Sisterlocks 2023! The next biggest thing in healthy haircare! Sisterlocks takes over the streets of Atlanta!
Come out and celebrate with JoAnne Cornwell on the Sisterlocks parade float.
​Mass the streets of Atlanta with the Sisterlocks parade team!  Network in the Sisterlocks, Sisterhood, meet-up tent!

Parade Team
The Sisterlocks Sisterhood Parade Team is just as significant as riding the float. Parade teams can carry a Sisterlocks United banner and also display signs or posters and walk either behind or in front of the parade float. Parade teams make up the largest body of the parade presentation and can be massive.
