Workplace dress codes can clash with personal style and even the law—especially with rules like the CROWN Act protecting natural hair. If you’re job hunting, know your rights and don’t be afraid to speak up if a policy feels off. #WorkplaceRights #CROWNAct #JobTips #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup
