Hey, y'all! Today's guest is a very special one. It's my mother, "Corinthian Carouthers".
This episode is all about honoring her and her story. For those that don't know, my mother is the founder of Creative Hair School of Cosmetology. This year, we will celebrate 22 years as a black-owned beauty school. We offer several programs such as cosmetology, esthetics, manicuring, and natural hair.
In this episode, my mother shares her journey of becoming a beauty professional and a beauty school ower.
My mother was born and raised in Chicago, IL, and has always been a fashionista! She attended beauty school because she realized she was paying tons of money to other stylists and wanted to be able to save money. Her journey to beauty school opened up new doors that Corinthian did not realize was possible.
Check out the full episode.

It's March and I cannot let the month go by without recognizing a few women that have made history in the beauty industry, the natural hair movement, and even in my personal life.
In this episode, I discuss 3 women that you may have heard of (Madam CJ Walker, Annie Pope Malone Turbone, and Cecily Tyson). The 4th woman I honor is my very own mother, Corinthian Carouthers.
She is the very reason why I am in the beauty industry. She has created a solid foundation for me and I am very blessed and grateful for her.
All of the women I mentioned above, including my mother, have made history in the beauty industry, by either creating a brand, a product, being a mentor, opening a business, training other women how to be strong, powerful, and proud of who they are.
We must give women their recognition and roses now. So many women around us are making history and breaking barriers. Today, while you still have the chance, be sure to uplift a woman that you see that is taking a stand in her industry with her voice, her presence, and/or her belief.

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.

Antoinette Garth is a mother of 4 who started her Loc journey in April of 2005. There were so many things that contributed to the transition from being a teen right out of high school to transforming into adulthood and embracing her loc journey. Locs had always intrigued Antoinette, she understood the spiritual connection between herself and locs. She knew that locs would create some self-awareness, self-love, and power within self. Antoinette continued on to have locs until 2015 and decided to loc again in 2016.
Antoinette is on her second set of locs and has grown even more comfortable with her self and locs. As a mother, African Dance Instructor and Natural Hair Stylist locs fit her lifestyle perfectly.

This week we are exploring another woman Loc Journey. Trae Daniels started her micro loc journey on March 21, 2020. With the amount of hair she already had, she gained frustration with wash days and trying to create styles that just didn't seem to fit her.
She has exactly 313 microlocs and she finds them to be very convenient and versatile.
Trae has a retie regime that consists of natural oils, rosewater, and water, and make sure she dedicates time monthly for her professional appointment.

This episode is a "must listen". My fellow Flint, MI native Dawn Demps talk about reasons why she decided to join the #LOCGang. Not only does Dawn share her story with us, but she also speaks on our history, the black women, and our culture.
Her passion for the black community is always at the forefront and her passion for "the people" is exhibited in this episode.
Dawn is relatively new to the loc journey but is no stranger to the process. She believed that our hair will do what it's supposed to do if we just leave it alone. Her loc process consisted of two-strand twist, monthly visits to her loctician, and only natural products such as water, oil, and essential oils.
Dawn decided to leave her bang area out, so she still has the flexibility to be creative by having both locd and loose hair.
More about Dawn Demps
Dawn has been involved with community advocacy and organizing since 12 years old. She utilizes her own lived experiences to connect with students and parents to promote tools for self-advocacy, structural reforms and strives to champion the concerns of these populations.

She has published articles examining the possibilities of youth-inspired school leadership as exhibited through youth voice and participatory action research, unpacking the difficulties and potential of Black and Brown collaborative educational leadership and how art can be used to expose the experiences of Black youth who have experienced school exclusion. She is currently conducting a critical ethnographic oral history study of a grassroots community advocacy group comprised of Black natural and other mothers who are galvanizing to challenge and dismantle the educational policies and practices that exclude Black children from educational spaces
