The Beauty Schools | Safe Haven: Louisiana's Green Book

This Suncoast Emmy Award-winning episode of Safe Haven celebrates Carrie’s Beauty School and Salon in South Baton Rouge and Poro’s Beauty School in New Orleans. Mada McDonald and Kara St. Cyr talk about how Schools of Beauty Culture empowered Black women and their significance in the community.
