THE CHAIR (S1/Ep59) — Tina Does What She Wants

Hello Beautiful People,

I’m Your Host Dreme.

I’m a Black woman, an educator turned tech entrepreneur but still an educator. Building a platform called THE CHAIR is a Black and Brown centered tech platform dedicated to supporting people on their hair journey. You can design hairboards, connect to hair stylists, and share hair care tips all in one space for a more joyous and streamlined experience. I built THE CHAIR Podcast to highlight hair journeys. A reminder to keep creating magic. As people sit in THE CHAIR you will get more than just hair stories. You will be immersed into experiences surrounding education, entrepreneurship, and identity. I hope you enjoy listening to my stories and the stories of my guests as we sit in THE CHAIR.

THE CHAIR (S1/Ep59) — Tina Does What She Wants

Raina and I met in middle school. She treated me like a little sister and watched over our class with grace and laughter. It has been a joy to reconnect and continuously cheer her on with all her endeavors. Come listen to Raina talk law and hair as she sits in THE CHAIR.
