Episode 141 : Jamila Powell | How to create an Ethic-Inclusive startup transform into WORLD DOMINANCE | #IMSPEAKING

On this Episode, number 141, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, I meet a fierce female, #IMSPEAKING - OKAY, I AM LISTENING - seriously TAKE NOTE. Jamila Powell of Maggie Rose Salon is here with moi!

As we all do our part to make the beauty industry a more inclusive and representative space for people of all hues, there is one lady in the game who is here to shake up the hair salon industry– Jamila Powell, founder of Miami-based boutique hair salon, Maggie Rose Salon.

A mother, attorney, and entrepreneur, Jamila Powell has turned her passion for self-care and haircare into a business. Maggie Rose Salon, named after her daughter, Magnolia Rose, is based in Miami and one of the top texture salons in the country. Powell is an attorney by day, but her true passion lies in encouraging people to embrace their beauty on the inside and out. Jamila’s goal is to take Maggie Rose Salon worldwide, as well as launch Naturally Drenched, a vegan haircare brand catered toward women and men seeking a natural, healthy, and eco-conscious hair product. Recognizing the lack of Black representation in the beauty space, Jamila aims to encourage her community to embrace, love, and preserve their unique hair texture.

We chat about…

• The Truth Behind the Uneven Playing Field in the Salon Industry
  • Here’s the tea, not all Black stylists know or specialize in doing textured hair. Some specialize in cuts, color, etc. On the flip side, Black stylists must learn and master care for all hair types to obtain a license, while non-black stylists still remain clueless on textured hair.
• The Lack of Black Representation in the Hair Industry
  • For years, hair and makeup stores and salons tended to exclude women of color. Here is the chance to reveal racism in an industry that’s finally undergoing its own makeover.
• What Self-Love Means for Black Women & How to Teach Your Kids from a Young Age
  • As a single mompreneur, raising a little one in the midst of social unrest and a pandemic is no easy task. Hear from Jamila what self-love has meant to her through the years and how she strives for her daughter, Maggie to love her melanin!

I hope you are unsightly inspired and highly motivated for spreading along the magic that was shared from this magnificent woman, Jamila.
