About this episode
As of 2021, the Black hair market is worth $1.6 billion and is expected to continue growing. Although the black hair care industry is extremely profitable, for many of the shareholders and business owners within this sector there is a lack of diversity of hair types. Moreover, many of the hair products that are promoted specifically towards the black community contain toxins that are hazardous to our health.
Throughout the Diaspora, people of African descent are shamed for the way that their hair naturally grows out of their scalp. Leading me to wonder:
How can we learn to love our hair when it is ostracized and critiqued everywhere we turn?
So with this in mind, i would like to invite you to
join my sister, Alex Gray, and I as we celebrate our natural hair journey while sharing our personal experiences with our hair. Because you can’t spell Afrocentric with the Afro. If I were you, I would stick around to hear Alex give amazing hair advice, because Gray(t) minds always think alike.
