Synopsis

Hair.  It's political,  it holds power, trauma, our little girl memories in it's coils as tightly as we hold our identities to our hearts.  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.  She is a queen, and I definitely had a fan girl moment interviewing her.  Abisara owns inHairitance, a salon that specifically targets curly hair.  She has built a community, an essential service, if you ask me, and every one of her customers.  Her upbringing has so interestingly paved her way towards leadership, activism and reclaiming her femininity and black identity.  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.  This is a one of a kind episode.
