Hair‪!‬ Just Chai

As Brown girls, hair is a symbol of strength and a connection to our ancestral roots. And for many people, hair is also tied to identity and phases of life. We are talking with Amy’s hairstylist/hair therapist, Priya, in a special episode. When a client is in her chair, she isn’t simply trimming away split ends; she’s helping people release their worries, concerns, and stories they long to change. And we even talk hair tips!
