175 Backers


Regarding this outpouring of support, Crystal C. Mercer says, “Every fiber of my being is woven in thanks to all of the people that became a part of a tapestry of supportive love. From Cotton To Silk: the Magic of Black Hair is a dream come true, primarily because you all believed this was an important story to tell. And here we are, telling melaninated babies everywhere that they are beautiful in their natural state. I am so grateful.”

A special thank you goes out to Erica Swallow and Brett Wood, who supported the project at the highest level of $500 or more.
