Aside from the bloggers, vloggers, natural hairstylists and businesses who are working hard to enlarge and expand the natural hair community worldwide; there are also a group of creative women who are using their unique talents and abilities to encourage many others. In a day and age where we are constantly bombarded with so much information that we don't have time to read it all, these group of women have come up with interesting ways to educate and entertain us.
