"A Safe Space For Black Girls" with Niani Barracks

Welcome back to another episode.  Today's episode is all about creating "A Safe Space For Black Girls That Never Learned How To Braid".

Niani is the creator and founder of "A Safe Space For Black Girls That Never Learned How To Braid".  She came up with the idea to teach mothers how to braid their daughter's hair.  She felt as if many mothers were having to decide if they were getting their hair done this week or their daughter, and with many children not knowing how to care for their hairstyles, Niani felt that mothers should not have to choose between visits to the salon.

Her original idea was to hold in-person workshops teaching mothers how to braid their daughter's hair, but COVID-19 interrupted those plans.  Niani thought quickly and decided to teach braiding classes virtually for just $5 biweekly.  Her idea went viral and since then she has been a feature on several media platforms such as New York TIme and Good Morning America.
