Description

<p>Hair. &nbsp;It's political, &nbsp;it holds power, trauma, our little girl memories in it's coils as tightly as we hold our identities to our hearts. &nbsp;That's why talking with Abisara Machold was such an exciting experience for me, especially being the owner of one of my favorite places in Montreal. &nbsp;She is a queen, and I definitely had a fan girl moment interviewing her. &nbsp;Abisara owns <a href="https://inhairitance.ca/">inHairitance,</a> a salon that specifically targets curly hair. &nbsp;She has built a community, an essential service, if you ask me, and every one of her customers. &nbsp;Her upbringing has so interestingly paved her way towards leadership, activism and reclaiming her femininity and black identity. &nbsp;She shares her heart, her own path, how Covid-19 has affected her business and also bonus for you curly folk out there gives us a masterclass in how to take care of your locks. &nbsp;This is a one of a kind episode.</p> <p>Instagram: @inhairitance_curlcare</p> <p><br></p> <p>Links to Black business' mentioned in episode:&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/billets-tourist-in-my-city-touriste-dans-ma-ville-121848693723?aff=erelexpmlt">Tourist in my city</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.marchecolore.ca/">Marché Coloré</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.librairieracines.com/">Librairie Racines</a></p> <p><a href="http://fimomitchell.ca/">Fimo Mitchell (meditation teacher)</a></p> <p><a href="https://boutiqueespaceurbain.com/">Boutique Espace Urbain</a></p>
