Hutton. Joy has one of the most striking Afros I’ve ever seen. It’s big. It’s bold. It is beautiful. When I saw it on social media, I knew I had to interview her. The fro is so impressive, sistahs often ask her how she maintains it. Incredibly, Joy does it herself. No salon. Not even for trims. She stopped going because stylists kept jacking up her hair. More on that later in the show, and stick around until the end of the show to hear Joy’s sought-after hair care routine. Shout out to past Hair! How I Grew It guest Janel Caminos for helping to make this interview happen. Janel reached out to Joy, her mentor, to put in a good word for me, and well now here we are, and I am so grateful. Born and raised in Chicago, Joy describes herself as a serial entrepreneur. She is the founder and CEO of two businesses. One is called jmh and co. The other is on the go GLAM. When Joy is not working, you’ll probably find the wine connoisseur sipping her favorite vino, which she features on her podcast, Sip with Joy. More on that later in the show. The Windy City native embraced her natural about 14 years ago. I told you what I think about Joy’s crown. I asked her what she thinks about it.</p>

Ep. 47: Kassidi Jones
<p>Hair! How I Grew It tops <a href="https://podcast.feedspot.com/natural_hair_podcasts/?feedid=5216045&_src=f1_featured_email" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Feedspot’s</a> and <a href="https://www.millionpodcasts.com/natural-hair-podcasts/?utm_source=smtp&utm_medium=F1_email&utm_content=template_b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">MillionPodcasts’</a> Best Natural Hair Podcasts. On today’s show, I interview Kassidi Jones. Kassidi is an assistant curator at a Black research library. The Hartford, Connecticut native is also an antiracist animal advocate. Pets and racism – I’d never put those words together until I discovered Kassidi a few months ago on social media. When I heard her talk about the prejudice she and her pit bull Ginger have experienced, and how that led her to create Ginger’s Naps, I knew I had to talk to her. More on Ginger’s Naps later in the show. Kassidi said yes to my interview invite despite her very busy school schedule. The ivy leaguer has earned four degrees including a PhD – all before the age of 30. She got her bachelor's degree in Africana Studies and English from the University of Pennsylvania. At Yale, she earned her Master of Arts in African American Studies. Also at Yale, she got her Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies and English. Kassidi has never had a perm. She’s worn her hair in its natural state since her sophomore year in high school. We started our hair talk talking about how her busy academic life has taken a toll on her natural. </p>
