CROWNING GLORY
Marissa K, Tiffini Gatlin, Jenell B Stewart
Tiffini Gatlin, CEO and founder of the innovative hair company @latchednhooked. Latched & Hooked is a 100% woman-owned and operated beauty brand that created curl extensions that are non-toxic, stress-free, affordable, and designed with the highest quality of synthetic fiber for women who wear protective hairstyles. The originators of textured, pre-curled and looped, synthetic hair are designed to match a woman's natural hair texture that is great for crochet braiding.
Jenell B. Stewart (@jenellbstewart), serves up goddess energy in her micro locs as an award-winning beauty editor, a wife and mom of 2, a YouTuber, podcaster, and social media maven. Introducing her platform by originally sharing her natural hair journey (hey @blakizbeautyful) to being an inspirational mompreneur, she’s crafted an encouraging roadmap for others to follow, learn and discover ways to tap into their personal power as well. Did we also mention that she rocked out her recent position as Influencer Manager for #edencurlfriends 2022-2023 ambassador cohort. 🫶🏾
TRESSED FOR SUCCESS
Myleik Teele, Amber Guyton, Kimberly Brown
Amber Guyton is a blog creator and interior designer of Blessed Little Bungalow. Sharing an untraditional approach to designing spaces to be an authentic and easy conversation as well as a refreshing and collaborative experience. Her recent collab with brand buddy BeRooted has us yearning for more Black-owned goodness.
Kimberly Brown aka @kimberlybonline is an author, leadership expert, podcaster, and coach who focuses on helping women and people of color navigate the world of work, make more money, and position themselves as industry leaders. We don't know which we love more - her supportive spirit of elevating women or those gorgeous locs she rocks.
BEAUTY & AMBITION
Ashley Hall, Nana Agyemang, Luvvie Ajayi Jones
Ashley Hall aka our Mane Sneakerhead and co-host on @revolttv’s Rate ‘Em. In a very male-dominated sneaker space, her platform aims to connect her with other women and encourage them to step out and embrace their passion, regardless of how much female representation is there. We first met Ashley when she was building her brand as a hair influencer (@curlsfothegirls) and have followed her journey - including her recent big chop.
