About

Braids & Beard represents my family. My daughters and I are the braids; my husband has the beard. We started the company in 2016 when I began to turn my passions into programs. I aim to provide unique experiences and services that enrich our lives. It’s very exciting to combine my formal training in education with my love of dance and energetic activities.
