Curlifying the Outdoors with Tammy

November 11, 2020 • Fernanda Jardim • Season 1 • Episode 4

This episode is very special to me. Tammy was the first person I thought when I had the idea about this podcast. We have been following each other on Instagram for over a year now, and though our previous interactions had been liking, commenting on each other's posts, I knew I needed to hear her story (and share it as well). Our conversation was vulnerable, warm and inspiring. Tammy shared about how her journey with her natural hair was linked to her love for nature, her work in the outdoors and more.
