My audience is women who research, invest and take action.

If your brand is in beauty, wellbeing, confidence, education, travel, lifestyle or supporting women, I’d love to hear from you.

Beyond brand work

Substance behind the partnership

For brands considering longer-term partnerships, this is the wider platform: speaking and community work that reach beyond a single sponsored post.

Speaking and events

Real conversations about hair and identity

For many Black women and girls, hair is closely tied to confidence, identity and belonging.

I speak at events, panels, conferences and in educational settings on hair, confidence, entrepreneurship and representation.

Topics

  • Hair, identity and self-image in Black women
  • Protective styling as self-care
  • Building a specialist business from scratch
  • Confidence, appearance and how we see ourselves
  • Natural hair in professional environments
  • Interactive school workshops with hands-on hair education sessions

Community and volunteering

Giving back to girls still figuring it out

I remember what it felt like not understanding my hair, or feeling like it was something to manage rather than something to celebrate.

I want to be the person in the room that younger me needed.

Through schools, youth programmes and community spaces, I support conversations around confidence, identity and natural hair.

Activities

  • School visits and hair confidence workshops
  • Talks on identity, self-image and natural hair
  • Mentoring aspiring hairdressers and entrepreneurs
  • Partnerships with youth organisations and charities
  • Community events celebrating natural hair
