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.

In this week's episode I speak with Antoinette "FAB" Garth about her loc journey.
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.
You can find Trae and more about her loc journey on her Instagram page: Traesure_Locs

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

Happy New Year! I am so excited to share with you what I have created for you!
My family and I are owners of a beauty school and we just celebrated 21 years of owning and operating the beauty school. We have several different programs such as cosmetology, esthetics, manicuring, instructor training, and natural hair.
Natural Hair programs are rare to find and cosmetology curriculums do not spend a great deal, if any at all on the proper education of working with naturally curly, coily textures and for years, I would see students from all over graduate these expensive programs to enter the real world still lacking in the education of their textured hair.
It has been my desire to bring the education that I share with my natural hair programs to people all over that are interested in learning the hands-on and theoretical portion, improving their skills, increasing their income, and most importantly providing an excellent service to their clients.

In this week’s episode, I share an opportunity I had over the past weekend and the ah-ha or awareness I gained. I also share why and how this podcast came to life and a huge accomplishment for my first year as a podcast host.
This past weekend I was able to help bring characters of "The Shade Squad" to life by styling their hair. Here is what that experience taught me:
- People are nervous about letting new people touch their Natural Hair
- How I gained their trust
- Good stylist vs. one you can trust
So why Natural Hair Education Podcast?
This podcast was created to educate, empower, and embrace our essence through natural hair and bring awareness and education to those who want to learn more about their hair. I know that doing the inner work through acts of self-love through my 5 Pillars will provide the confidence to embrace your true self through the acceptance of Natural Hair.
My 2020 accomplishment
During my first year having a Podcast, I made #4 of the top 25 Natural Hair Podcast on the Internet. When I received the email, I just knew I made #25 and I am #4. Thank you for the support of the Natural Hair Education Podcast!
