In Peckham, between the Chicken Shop and the Afro Food Cash & Carry, you'll find World of Curls. Ronk臋 and her fellow hairdressers Blessing and Peaches will relax or braid, weave or cut.

Going to the hairdresser is where Black women learn about their culture, through the hair styles they see being created, the languages they hear and the stories they'll never forget. And Ronk臋 shares her worries about her daughter Bim. She is getting into trouble at school and Ronk臋 and her husband Seun fear this will be a stumbling block for her future.
