You Have the Gift. Now Build the Movement.

Launch your own youth braid and business program—without starting from scratch.

You already know how to braid.
You already love working with youth.
Now, it’s time to turn your gift into a program that changes lives and creates income with impact.

My Story

I started braiding my own hair at 8 and took my first client at 16. I did hair on the side for years—while working in the medical field—until I decided to go all in. I became a full-time braider and built my business from the ground up.

​

After years of clients, I taught a class. Then I taught a group. And that class changed everything.

 

Today, my Youth Braid & Business Academy is in schools, rec centers, and youth organizations across Virginia. And now—I’m showing other braiders and stylists how to do the same.

What This Is

This is a done-for-you program that gives you:

  • A complete youth curriculum (you don’t have to create a thing)

  • My business templates, lesson plans, and teaching strategies

  • Coaching + guidance to launch and run your first class or camp

  • A movement you can be proud of in your city

You don’t need a license to teach this.
You just need heart, skill, and the desire to make a difference.

Who This Is For

  • You’re a braider or stylist who wants to teach what you know

  • You’ve thought about starting a class or camp but didn’t know where to begin

  • You want to impact young girls while building something bigger than yourself

  • You’re tired of trading hours for hair and want a path to freedom​

If you’ve ever said: “I wish I had something like this growing up,” then you’re the one who’s supposed to create it now.

What You’ll Walk Away With

✨ Your own branded youth program
✨ A system you can run again and again

(seasonal camps, workshops, afterschool)
✨ Confidence to lead and teach
✨ A business that’s fulfilling, respected, and scalable

This Is Bigger Than Braids

This isn’t about perfect parts and slick ponytails.

This is about building self-worth, pride, and power in the next generation.

​

You’ll be a role model, a coach, a teacher—and the woman you needed when you were younger.

This is invitation-only. I work closely with each person I coach to make sure it’s the right fit.
