Can we look at hair as a fabric, not a race?
This week is part 1 of a beautiful conversation with Keya Neal - industry activist, educator, and visionary for @thekolourkulture & @texturevsrace

- Learning the need to sacrifice time, energy, money to succeed
- Running a salon for 10 years and building her brand, then closing it and moving to another state for a relationship
- Getting back into hair after motherhood; choosing a multi-cultural salon to expand her experience and techniques
