It was hard in Atlanta.
It wasn't hard in New York.
We're in Harlem because I was working in a salon there, making a lot of money, doing nothing but natural hair.
But, you know, I went through a divorce and left everything and moved to Atlanta.
It was totally different.
No one, no one was interested in natural hair at all.
And so, you know, I just looked at that and said, you know, I just have to educate people.
You know, I rented a booth in an escape hair salon.
Well, I don't even know if they're still there anymore.
But wasn't making any money there.
But I was just determined to just be in the salon and just create the world that I wanted to be in.
Was back in the salon.
And I did have my clients in New York.
So I went back and forth.
And that's how I made my money and paid my blue front here.
Not making any money.
But while I was here, I would show people my work.
You know, the girls would come in.
They'll see my hair.
