"Representation Matters" with Janay Anderson

Janay Anderson is an accomplished speaker, bestselling author, natural hair coach, and self-esteem advocate for children. Born in the cozy and quiet town of Port Huron Michigan, Janay grew up wanting a bigger life than what she saw. That opportunity presented itself when her parents divorced, which sent Janay along with her twin sister and her mother to the busy city of Philadelphia at age 9.

Having battled bullying and negative talk from her schoolmates for not being as “cool” for her hair, Janay made a decision to take her negative experiences and turn them into a positive lesson for little girls who experience hate and negativity because of their hair.

As a mother of two daughters, Janay has reinforced positive self-talk in her children by raising them with strong positive self-images. Janay’s positive affirmations began to spread to other little girls and many parents began asking her for a book. It was that encouragement that leads to the bestselling book, “I Love My Curls”.

“I Love My Curls” is Janay Anderson’s love letter to little girls all over the world who get teased or bullied for their natural hair. This book received critical acclaim from several organizations like The Black CEO International and The Kiddie Academy.
