The Detangled Podcast: A New Chapter with Avlon
After over two years of working with Avlon as an educator, I’m excited to share a new chapter in our ongoing collaboration – I’m now co-host of The Detangled Podcast.
Created by Avlon, a brand rooted in the science and care of textured hair, The Detangled Podcast is a space for thoughtful, informative conversation. Alongside my brilliant co-host Jacqui McIntosh, we speak with industry leaders, artists, educators, and innovators about the many layers of textured hair – in salons, in education, and in everyday life.

Why It Feels Right
I’ve always been drawn to spaces where conversation meets education. Co-hosting The Detangled Podcast felt like a natural next step – a chance to bring together the things I care about most: storytelling, education, and connection.It’s a new platform for me to share, learn, and grow – and to shine a light on the incredible talent shaping our industry today.
