The other day in the supermarket i was shopping with miss E and I looked at how big she has become and it took me back to her as a baby so I squeezed her, gave her a hug saying "you're getting so big' and she said I'm embarrassing her. 🥹😄

What is all this "cringe" about actually cos I remember feeling the same way at her age.

Why are they so embarrassed about nearly everything?

We had an amazing cultural inclusive hair workshop for a leading Law Firm and enjoyed every minute of it. From the cultural food to the music and cocktails🍸 the atmosphere was incredible. I had to remind myself I still had a presentation to deliver and braiding skills to teach.

We had such a good time and I can't wait to be back.

If your company has an employee wellbeing or inclusion program, head to the link in my bio to send an enquiry. We'll tailor and create bespoke packages to suit your team's needs. See you soon 💫

International Men’s Day 💙

We celebrate the men who show up with love, intention and presence. Our Roots & Bonds workshop opened up such honest conversations around gender roles, fatherhood and raising emotionally secure kids.
I love seeing dads step into nurturing roles with confidence - it really does shape the next generation.

The girls in slide 10 are the ones that made it happen!

We offer Employee wellbeing events, Team building events, Lunch and learn, DEI events and General Corporate events, please email us via link in bio

We travel nationally and internationally. This event was held in Northampton.

Paris did what Paris always does - turned us into tourists, food critics, photographers and vibes-only people. Already planning the next trip. 🇫🇷✨

We must all come out of the group chat in 2026.

Guess what country is next on my list?

By day, I work in Tech, but at heart, I’m a Braid Educator.

On my days off, you’ll often find me running workshops or teaching students the art and technique of braiding. So when I was invited to teach at South Thames College, of course, my answer was yes.

I feel incredibly grateful to share the gifts I’ve been given in such a meaningful way.
Here’s to greater heights and continued impact.
