EPISODE SUMMARY

This podcast is dedicated to celebrating the journey of black women to embrace their natural hair, with our host, Lisa. E, aka Natural Born Sistah, who inspires black women to groom and confidently flaunt their natural hair. 

In this episode with Lisa E, a Natural Hair Enthusiast, is talking about her first day of coming out fully in her natural and gray hair.  She mentions the cost and the amount of time she spent while at the salon, and was not happy to say the least.   Not because of her hair, but her own reservations about what other people would think coming out natural.  She is talking about how she was not the bravest when it came to coming out, so it removed her confidence completely when she saw what her hair looked like groomed for the first time. 

Lisa talks about how confidence can take you to the next level of your coming out or embracing your natural hair journey.  She knows that confidence will play a lifelong part in her journey to remain natural and wants to share this experience with others who are trying to claim this rite of passage. Over time Lisa has come to love her natural coils and the color of her gray natural hair.  So much so, she wants you too to bask in the greatness of rocking your natural hair with confidence.
