Kiyana Pearson is a dynamic entrepreneur, scalp specialist, and innovator in the natural hair care industry. As the founder of Tress Clean, the first Black woman-owned hair wipes company, Kiyana has revolutionized scalp care with her innovative Braid, Loc & Scalp Refreshening Wipes.

A graduate of Morgan State University, Kiyana's journey from Baltimore, MD, to Miami, FL, inspired the creation of a groundbreaking solution to a universal hair care dilemma. Faced with the challenges of maintaining her signature braids in Miami's relentless humidity, Kiyana's quest for innovation led to the development of Tress Clean’s Rinse-Free Braid, Loc & Scalp Refreshening Wipes.

Drawing on her cultural identity and expertise in protective hairstyles, Kiyana identified a need for convenient, effective scalp and hair refreshment. Through meticulous research and development, she crafted a product that embodies her commitment to quality and holistic haircare. Tress Clean’s wipes are now a household staple, empowering individuals within the braid and loc community to maintain their styles while nourishing their scalps.

As a recognized Scalp Care Specialist, Kiyana blends tradition with innovation, offering solutions that prioritize moisture, anti-fungal properties, and follicle protection.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a forty eight year old single mother of a twenty eight year old grown man. Like me. My son started having children at an early age. I encouraged him to marry the mother of his three children. So they went to the courthouse in 2022 and got married. His wife has done a complete 360. She means one eighty. Now that she's married, or now that they're living together and we can see who she really is. He has tried to overlook her weed smoking, drinking, and hanging out with hoochies. He's told me that he's trying to make it work. That was before last month.................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been dealing with a man for a few years, but we can never stay together longer than three to four months at a time because he disappears for a few days and then pops up like nothing happened. We argue over other women a lot because he refuses to be honest. That's how we fell out again, and this time I don't think I can look past his lies. He has four names tattooed on his body, among his many other tats. His mama's name is across his heart, with his daughter's name and his baby mama's names under his mom's name..................................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm dating a guy that's been living with a woman for six years and they're not married, so technically he's single, so we're not cheaters. He's not happy with her, but he tries to make her think he is, which is confusing to me. I've been acting like I am his cousin, and I'm tired of covering for this man. If I call him, he pretends like he's talking to one of his homeboys. I have been on FaceTime with him many times and I've had to drop my phone. When she walked in the room, everyone is hinted to her that her man is cheating, and she's mentioned it to me before, but I always assure her that her man is faithful...........................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm sixty three and I've been married for a year. I've known my husband for about thirty years, and we dated off and on for many years before deciding to make it official. This is the first marriage for us both, so we're very set in our ways. I remembered my husband to be open minded and fun loving, but he's changed since the wedding. He knows that I love music and concerts. He has taken me to at least twenty concerts, and he loves how I sing all the songs and dance the entire time............................

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I are in a bad place all because I found him next door with my neighbor's sister. The lady calls to tell me that my husband was complaining of chest pains. I told her to dial 911, and she said my husband didn't want to go to the hospital. She also said my husband didn't want her to call me, but she did anyway. I didn't ask questions until I saw how my husband was doing. This strange woman was standing outside of my neighbor's house........................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, for the past 23 years, I’ve been married to the nicest guy in the world and I have always tried to be the perfect wife and mother. In the beginning of our marriage, our sex life was perfect, but over the past 7 years, things have drastically changed. In 2018, we had sex maybe 8 times in the whole year. I counted them. I don’t think he is cheating, because all he does is go to work and come home. If he goes out, we go out as a family. I just don’t think that he is interested in sex at all. He is completely complacent and I’ve stopped initiating sex because I get tired of him telling me to “move” all of the time......................................

Two-time Emmy and Three-NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Lynn Richardson.  Financial planning executive and fan-favorite Dr. Lynn Richardson returns to dispense invaluable information for the listeners! This time, she brings with her information on how to manage debt properly, how the Black community’s skepticism of the finance sector will only hurt them in the end, and the secret tax write-off that every family with a home-based business rarely takes advantage of employing their children in their business. That’s right, child labor is perfectly legal if you follow the right steps! Curious? Skeptical? Both? Well then, there is no better solution than listening to this episode of Money Making Conversations Master Class.
