    Join @keyaartistically and Miki for an amazing and very candid conversation!  Keya shared about how she got started in the industry and some secrets to her success, her confidence - and how you can have it too!  
    In this conversation we explore:
    How she got into the most prestigious group in the Beauty Industry, Intercoiffure and her commitment to ensure others a 'seat at the table'.
    The Journey to becoming a Certified Hair Colorist through the American Board of Certified Haircolorists (ABCH, recently renamed).
    The role that discipline plays in enhancing your creativity!  This one is deep!

CarinaStudio ,

A-mazing!

I am so blown away with the candid conversations, inspirational messages and applicable advice in all of your podcasts. I’ve been a natural hairstylist for over 20 years but have found myself having to return to the basics after this pandemic and have reconnected with why I got into this incredible field. Miki Wright helps you to get brilliant at the basics which is the pathway to true success. Thank you for inviting us backstage to meet your legendary guests. I literally felt like I was sitting at the feet of my elders with your interview of Mr. Dudley. He echoed my nana’s wisdom. I have binge listened, shared and will continue to do so. Keep up the great work!
