UPFRONT featuring the actresses from 'JaJa's African Hair Braiding'

Check out this week's edition of UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry. Host Ray Cornelius goes behind-the-scenes of True Colors Theatre production of the Broadway smash JaJa’s African Hair Braiding.

The dramedy invites audiences to step into a vibrant hair salon in Harlem, where a lively community of West African immigrant hair braiders weave together humor and heart in a celebration of artistry and resilience. Actresses Shakirah DeMesier, Adetinpo Thomas and Zora Umeadi talk about their characters and their own amazing hair journeys.

UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry is produced and hosted by Ray Cornelius for Jazz 91.9 WCLK. The show re-airs on SiriusXM HBCU Channel 142 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 6:30pm EST.
