Bio:
Joyce Gilliard, was the key hairstylist on the fourth season of the anthology series Genius, which follows MLK and Malcolm X. Genius: MLK/X explores the formative years of these historical figures, where they were molded by strong fathers and traumatic injustices, and their rich, parallel stories as they shaped their identities and became the change they wished to see in the world. The docu-drama series offers an intimate look into their complex lives as husbands, fathers, brothers and sons in order to show their humanity and take a deep dive into the integral role they both played in the Civil Right Movement.

For the series, Joyce helped style over 50 wigs. She worked for each wig to be period-accurate, researching things like Jet Magazine, old yearbooks during that time period and authentic pictures of MLK and Malcolm X. Since the actors came in with modern hairstyles, Joyce worked to transform them into period-accurate looks without cutting or damaging actors’ natural hair.
