African American children are disproportionately overrepresented in the child welfare system. Many of these children linger in the system and experience disconnection from their biological families, communities, cultural beliefs, values, and practices. Participants also discussed their awareness of societal influences on their perception of African American women. They offered recommendations for improving the hair care ii experiences of African American children in foster care, for supporting positive development of identity and self-esteem, and for implementing standards of practice that will ensure these youths' cultural needs are addressed in the child welfare system.iii DedicationTo my loving great grandparents and grandparents, who planted multiple seeds in my life as a young girl, which helped me realize my potential.To my mother, Barbara Jackson, who has always believed in me and supported me unconditionally.To my father, Michael Mitchell, who promoted education and made tremendous sacrifices so I could pursue my academic goals.To my husband, Dennis J. Dove, who has supported me throughout my entire academic journey. For the countless nights I stayed up reading, studying, or writing a paper, while you cared for our children. For the numerous times I became frustrated and felt like giving up and you encouraged me to take a break, then get back to work… I thank you.To my children who bring immense joy to my life and teach me how to be a better person.
