We first met Carmen Hope Thomas several years ago when we talked about her book, "Why Marry a Man You Don't Need." Fast forward to 2022 when we learn Thomas one night went to sleep with a headache and fatigue, and woke up completely blind the next morning. She found out her blindness was due to a brain tumor, and she was rushed to emergency surgery. After surgery, Carmen lost her hair and found research reports stating that chemicals in her preferred type of hair products could cause her brain tumor to return. So Carmen launched her own line of natural hair and skincare products brand, made from products from Jamaica where she's relocated with her family to enjoy a slower paced life.
