CLUELESS
Clueless also has female leads and although set in high school, it’s a fun coming of age story capturing the growing pains of parent-child relationships, living your truth and finding one’s own way. It’s reflective to New Growth as all three girls are not living their truths
because of influences that
surround them and the
realization of these things brings about change.

HAIR LOVE
Hair Love, an Oscar®- winning animated short film from Matthew A. Cherry, tells the heartfelt story of an African American father learning to do his daughter’s hair for the first time. Similarly, New Growth celebrates diversity in our hair by showing the many amazing ways Black women flip, tied, brush, braid and twist our tresses. Both films showcase the many styles that compliment every black woman’s mane.
