THE CHAIR (S1/Ep35) — My Grandparent's Hallway, My First Runway

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/Ep35) — My Grandparent's Hallway, My First Runway

Luna is a gem. She is sparkle. She is light. She is magical. Luna Modela. Luna the Model. Every time I see her in person and see her photos I am in awe of her beauty and sweetness. She is a model breaking barriers and representing bodies in all forms. Because as she says in this interview, "All bodies are trending." Luna Modela has been in Target campaigns, Shape magazine, Pattern campaigns (yup with the Tracee Ellis Ross') and met her, geesh. Luna has done so much already and will continue to do so and I am excited to call her a friend and I wish for her everything she wishes for herself and more. Luna Modela discusses her hair journey and how it intersects with the modeling world, colorism, texturism, and self love.
