For those who don't know, I've spent the last year co-founding a nonprofit, www.blackeducatorsmatter.org, with my cousin Brooke.

One of the cool ways Brooke and I get to collaborate is through our monthly Founders Podcast (available exclusively for our Patreon subscribers). In the spirit of Halloween, and as a throwback to Brooke’s first cameo on Talk That Danni Gee (remember that?!), I’m excited to share our October BEM Founder’s Episode!!

I present to you… The Fairy LocMothers

2020 has been scary enough, so this year for Halloween, we’ve decided to be Fairy LocMothers - natural hair advocates, available to help people transition into loc’d life.  Here’s to celebrating origin stories and alter-egos! Brooke and I reconnected to our roots, and both shared our natural hair origin stories. When I speak with educators, it is clear that authentic representation and being presented with affirming, diverse images, and seeing themselves as owners of knowledge, are critical for students as they develop self esteem and self worth.
