When I first started my podcast it was to interview salon owners and stylists who have made an impact in the Portland community. I wanted to use this podcast to gain knowledge so that one day I can be a salon owner, but because of the unfortunate events and the reoccurrence of Black Lives Matter my direction has changed. To be more honest and truthful because I'm white and most of Portland is white I realized that I had been living in a bubble. There are many talented individuals in my beautiful city and I want to make sure that all are heard. Jess Vanterpool is the creator of @pdx_black_unicorn a directory for black hair friendly salons. Please listen to our interview where we dive into topics of hair, BLM and the election to come.
