Regulations in Our Pockets

THE CHAIR (S1/Ep44) — Regulations in Our Pockets

I’m Your Host Dreme. 

I’m a Black woman, an educator turned tech entrepreneur but still an educator. Building a platform called THE CHAIR is a Black and Brown centered tech platform dedicated to supporting people on their hair journey. You can design hairboards, connect to hair stylists, and share hair care tips all in one space for a more joyous and streamlined experience. I built THE CHAIR Podcast to highlight hair journeys. A reminder to keep creating magic. As people sit in THE CHAIR you will get more than just hair stories. You will be immersed into experiences surrounding education, entrepreneurship, and identity. I hope you enjoy listening to my stories and the stories of my guests as we sit in THE CHAIR. 

THE CHAIR (S1/Ep44) — Regulations in Our Pockets 

Michele and I met at a BD101 - 7 day Retreat, which was A Beyond Diversity retreat hosted and led by Niyonu Spann dedicated to bringing together various professionals from all fields dedicated to growing in their mindsets particularly in all aspects of race and racism topics. I was the youngest at the retreat by more than 20 years. I happened to sit next to Michele during many of our full group circle workshops and a connection began to form. I am excited to have her on THE CHAIR.
