Brand You Like A Boss Natasha Weston

Welcome to the final episode of the Brand You Like A Boss Podcast Series! In today's show, we switched things up just a bit and instead of the typical interview, I am shining the spotlight on someone who is building a bossed up brand. Joining me today is a good friend and fellow entrepreneur, Akeene Coakley. Akeene is the Founder & CEO of Adjust Da Bands which is a company that specializes in creating revolutionary hair products that secures natural hair in place.

After struggling to find a rubber band that could hold his dreadlocks, Akeene set out to create a solution that would not only be the answer to his natural hair problems, but would become a solution for others who struggled with the exact problems as well. He took a leap of faith and launched what has now become a phenomenon in his home city of Charleston, SC and rapidly reaching the hands of natural hair lovers all over the country!

In this episode, Akeene and I chat about life after building a brand, his answer to "The BIG Question" and his unique position in the natural hair industry.

Connect with Akeene and learn more about his brand at AdjustDaBands.com and on social @adjustdabands!
