Introduction
It is a rare and sacred thing when a book arrives at the precise moment it is most needed. Crown of Thorns: The Black Hair Revelation is such a book. In an era where the conversation around Black identity is more urgent than ever, this work emerges not as a mere contribution, but as a foundational text, a spiritual and intellectual anchor in a sea of cultural discourse.
The author has achieved something remarkable: a seamless fusion of history, theology, science, and cultural critique that elevates the discussion of Black hair from a topic of beauty and style to one of divine significance. This is not a book about hairstyling; it is a book about power. It is a meticulous, unflinching, and ultimately triumphant exploration of the Black crown as a biological marvel, a historical archive, and a spiritual antenna.

About Us
Carbon Press: Publishing the Truth of OurStory Our Mission: Empowering the Awakened Soul Carbon Press is more than a publishing house; we are a foundational movement dedicated to the pursuit of truth, the reclamation of history, and the empowerment of the awakened soul. We believe that true liberation begins with knowledge, and our mission is to publish works that provide the unvarnished truth of 'ourstory' and chart the remedy for our collective salvation as a people. We challenge conventional narratives, reject suppression, and provide a platform for voices that illuminate the path to self-mastery and spiritual sovereignty. The Meaning Behind Our Name Our name, Carbon Press, is a deliberate and powerful statement of intent: •Carbon: Signifies the foundational element of life, the core of all organic matter, and the reclaimed essence of Blackness. We reject the historical demonization of this element and celebrate it as the source of all power and creation. •Press: Represents the dual action of applying force. We are here to press for the oppressed, to apply intellectual and spiritual force against falsehoods, and to impress upon the world the undeniable presence and power of our community. What We Publish We specialize in groundbreaking, foundational texts that fuse history, theology, science, and cultural critique. Our works are designed for the active doer and visualizer—the individual ready to engage with profound knowledge and transform their reality. Our flagship series, beginning with CROWN OF THORNS, explores life-altering topics such as Optikalibration, the principles of personal growth, and the Mynd2Matter's 9 Flaw Elevator Programme. Carbon Press is where knowledge becomes power. Join us in writing the next chapter of our story.
