From Broke to Booked: Being a Self-Taught Braider 💆🏽‍♀️

Yall, I am still shook from hosting my own lecture-demo this past weekend. After months of prep (think 46 slides!) I did a 2 hour workshop on Black Hair History, science and BRAIDING! (Under-hand and cornrows 😭) Had to workshop it a couple times & take a 12 hr train ride, but seeing the smiles & the engagement was downright magical ✨

This journeys been WILD.

A few years ago when I was living in New Orleans a month bus pass felt like a luxury. Fast forward to today as a self-taught braider in Orange County and I made half my rent in that 2 hour workshop. God is faithful! 🙌🏾

Building a business from the ground up is quite a ride but moments like this remind me why I do it. Empowering families, and people of all ages to embracing and appreciate black hair culture.

The elephant is making those chirps because they’re excited at the noise the drum makes. Some zoos give their elephants drums or horns to play with if they noticed they like making noise/“are musically inclined”. Shanthi of the Smithsonian Zoo became an internet sensation for her compositions on the harmonica:

Oh my goodness, the happy elephant chirps. I was dying from the level of cuteness.
