Tinisha Meeks - Department Head of Hair on Grownish, #BlackAF
Description
My guest this week is Tinisha Meeks, Department Head of Hair on Grownish. Tinisha’s credits also include Scandal and Blackish.
As a kid, Tinisha had Cabbage Patch dolls, and she used to braid their hair. In fact, a local doll maker even paid her to braid doll hair! From then on, Tinisha decided that she wanted to do hair. She went to cosmetology school while going to high school, and she graduated from both at the same time! She trained at a couple popular salons before transitioning to film & television.
In this episode, Tinisha and I talk about how shows like Blackish and Grownish have revolutionized television by showcasing African-American hair, product sourcing, character building, and the one thing she can’t live without!
