YOUR BLACK HAIR CARE COACH

Owner and operator of Tutus & Tennis Shoes, Kanisha Tillman, joins the WTFP crew to discuss the reality of a war on poverty and the lack of opportunity that results from it, which in turn impacts the upbringing and development of all children, but in particular, those of color.  This realization combined with her passion to uplift and provide viable hair care options for young black girls led to her current niche in providing hair care assistance to transracial adoptive families.  The dialogue identifies the nuanced relationship between white adoptive parents and their new, young black family members, with particular focus on the opportunity that exists to help these children feel comfortable in their own skin through healthy and effective hair care maintenance, education, etc.

Kanisha's early memories of selling afrocentric products to clientele in the likes of Maya Angelou are explored, while somewhere along the way, it is revealed that host PHATEROC is not the only black person on the call who can't play Spades.
