Black Hair: Protecting Our Curls, Coils, and Culture with Jasmine Harvey

Whether it's weaves, relaxed, silk presses, braids, bantu knots, ponytails, full-on curls, or teenie tiny afro; hairstylists have been holding down the culture carrying on traditions through the magic of their hands to care for our scalps and give us a sense of pride as we step into the world. 
On this week's episode, and the last episode of the career series, Yvonne's hairstylist Jasmine Harvey joins her for coffee to discuss her 15-year career in the industry, why education in the space still holds value, and how platforms like TikTok are a key tool to helping her build her business. 
During the "What's the Brew" news segment, Yvonne shares why American Airlines' partnership with Thirteen Lune positively impacts Black and Brown-founded brands, and 50 Cent's announcement of G-Unit Studios provides a space for diverse talent both in front and behind the camera.
