Trigger warning for this episode: Mention of sexual abuse

Y’all! Tell me about a brave, vulnerable and inspiring conversation like this one. Nicole shared about her hair journey, navigating some difficult times in her life and how nature helped her healing. Our hair holds in so much history and stories that are so worth sharing.

As you listen to this episode, take the time to be kind to yourself since we talked about challenging topics, I will add some resources at the end of the description.

Nicole Jackson (She/Her)

Curl Pattern 4c

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Nicole Jackson has always found a way to include the lessons of nature to heal, grow and become more self aware.

Nature without exception continues to seek balance and is resilient. Her relationship with nature has even influenced her natural hair journey. Through conversations, outdoor adventures and social media, she is hoping to spread this knowledge to help other Black women amplify their passion and find their purpose in life. Networking and building relationships with others through meaningful nature experiences is her life goal. Nicole is a Natural Leader of the Children & Nature Network, a member of the National Parks Conservation Association's Next Generation Advisory Council, was co-organizer of Black Birders Week and founder of Black in National Parks Week.
