On starting her workshops:
“They started on a fluke. I kept getting these young girls in that were having a hard time. They would come in just hating their hair and their moms didn’t know what to do with it either. I would end up sitting them in my chair, taking my time with them, and explaining what to do. Finally I said to myself, ‘You know what? I should do workshops. I should get a bunch of girls and teach them.’ I did one just for the fun of it and it was such a success.
Now when those girls walk in, they don’t walk in all shy. They walk in confident and are happy to talk to me about what they can do on their own with their hair. They’re wearing their hair out and freely. They’re twisting it. They’re doing curl definition. They’re braiding one side. They’re having fun with their hair.”“When I told one of my clients what I was doing, she said, ‘Oh my God! We should make a documentary about this.’ When she said that to me, I was like, ‘Yeah, right.
