This presenter symposium brings together five pioneering papers that dissect intersectional dynamics of self-presentation within organizational contexts, particularly as they relate to Black identity in the U.S. and Central America. Each paper presents a novel perspective on the ways in which hair and other aspects of appearance shape and are shaped by racialized, gendered, and classed experiences in the workplace. These works highlight systemic gendered racism (Wingfield, 2008) and establish the need for additional research examining the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organizational implications of cultural expectations, norms, and values on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belongingness.
