Our goal is to become the number one resource for hair, skin, for women of color.
Cocoa Butter & Hair Grease was birthed from Dr. Donna’s dissertation on how hair texture impacts sex(uality) in Black women in 2016, a workshop by the same name in 2017, and years of therapy with Black women who NEEDED a safe space to speak about how they have been judged or made to feel less than because of the texture of their hair and the darkness or lightness of their skin. Dr. Joy Harden Bradford and Dr. Ajita Robinson are also super big supporters of the book and helped make it a reality, through their meddling :P
