THE CHAIR (S1/Ep62) — The Visible Only

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/Ep62) — The Visible Only

Lisa and I met at a school we both worked at. She worked on the first floor and I on the third. Our first conversation was in the teacher break room of the third floor and that is where our friendship began. I have learned so much and continue to learn from her and I am excited to share space with Lisa as she sits in THE CHAIR. Enjoy!
