Niaās words: "My name, Nia, is the fifth principle of Kwanzaa, meaning purpose. And from a very early age, my parents instilled a sense of pride and celebration of my culture and my blackness that exists to this day (even, and especially, at times when people and systems tried to undermine it). Before this adventure into the beauty industry, I worked primarily in media and entertainment, and the dialogue around identity, representation, and who gets to participate is very similar. Every time I walk into our shop on Library Street in Detroit, I am very humbled and proud of the space we've made and what it means to the community who inhabits it."
