THE CHAIR (S1/Ep47) — More Than Just Kids in the Classroom
Hello Beautiful People,

I’m Your Host Dreme.

I’m a Black woman, an educator turned tech entrepreneur but still an educator. Building a platform called THE CHAIR is a Black and Brown centered tech platform dedicated to supporting people on their hair journey. You can design hairboards, connect to hair stylists, and share hair care tips all in one space for a more joyous and streamlined experience. I built THE CHAIR Podcast to highlight hair journeys. A reminder to keep creating magic. As people sit in THE CHAIR you will get more than just hair stories. You will be immersed into experiences surrounding education, entrepreneurship, and identity. I hope you enjoy listening to my stories and the stories of my guests as we sit in THE CHAIR.

THE CHAIR (S1/Ep47) — More Than Just Kids in the Classroom

I had the lovely opportunity of teaching Suhaila and Sakina in 8th grade and being a part of their hair journey that same year. They are now 18 years old and freshmen in college. They were very gracious when they said yes as I asked them if they would do me the honor of sitting in THE CHAIR and sharing their stories about their time with me as their history teacher, learnings that transferred over into high school, and their hair journey.

Suhaila is a freshman at MIT pursuing civil and environmental engineering while Sakina is at Tufts pursuing public health. I am truly honored to have been apart of their stories as much as I am with every student I have the opportunity to encounter. You, the audience, now have the opportunity to listen to the voices of previous students of mine and hear where my passion stems from everyday, with every student as an educator and the founder of THE CHAIR platform dedicated to supporting people on their hair journey.
