Culturally competent. Technically excellent. Rooted in lived experience.

I’ve spent over 15 years helping women and families embrace their natural texture — from tight coils to mixed curl patterns. As a curl educator, mom, and curl studio owner, I bring more than just technique. I bring a trauma-informed, kindness-led approach rooted in real life.

Whether you’re a brand looking to do better by textured hair or a pro seeking hands-on education, I offer clear, elevated, and effective support that actually translates.
