THE CHAIR (S1/Ep37) — Cutting My Hair Felt Like Freedom
Hello Beautiful People,
I’m Your Host Dreme.
I’m a Black woman, an educator turned tech entrepreneur but still an educator. Building a platform called THE CHAIR is a Black and Brown centered tech platform dedicated to supporting people on their hair journey. You can design hairboards, connect to hair stylists, and share hair care tips all in one space for a more joyous and streamlined experience. I built THE CHAIR Podcast to highlight hair journeys. A reminder to keep creating magic. As people sit in THE CHAIR you will get more than just hair stories. You will be immersed into experiences surrounding education, entrepreneurship, and identity. I hope you enjoy listening to my stories and the stories of my guests as we sit in THE CHAIR.
THE CHAIR (S1/Ep37) — Cutting My Hair Felt Like Freedom
Dr. Qiana and I met in South Africa during our Fulbright first week orientation at the Consulate. She was already accumulated on another government scholarship and was there to impart advice onto the Fulbrighters in the room. Dr. Qiana and I then began to develop a friendship talking education, travel, and good food. It was an absolute pleasure talking to her about her world of international education and travel along with her hair journey. Come listen as Dr. Qiana shares her stories in THE CHAIR.
