[Chapter 8] "Flexibility" featuring Kia the Curl Consultant
Description
Welcome to Chapter 8 of the StoryNoir podcast. I’m your host, Opal, and I’ll be facilitating a conversation with Kia Fay, affectionately known as Kia the Curl Consultant. Kia is a textured hair exclusive stylist and marketing expert hailing from the Bay Area. She teaches fold with natural hair texture about care practices through elevated and accessible education.
Today, we struck up a fascinating conversation around being small-business owners, our journeys with our own sense of beauty, grief & loss, and of course, hair care! We’ll revisit some of these topics today, delving into how she came into who she is today.
