Black hair (whether in kinks, curls, or Afro) is too unique NOT to be loved. And while most women get their hair permed from age 5/6, some continue to relax it for decades for various reasons, ranging from job security to upward economic mobility. A majority of them are unaware that by doing so, they double their risk of developing endometriosis, fibroids, and ovarian cancer. 


In today's episode, Kathleen is joined by April Preyar, a Criminal Defense Attorney, legal educator, professional speaker, board game designer, and author of six books. She is the creator of JustUs Junkie, and her original board game, Trials & Triumph. April is at the forefront of a Mass Tort Lawsuit that will be the largest of its kind involving Black women victims in U.S. history. 


Tune in as Kathleen and April speak about:

  • How the death of her mom was a springboard to her passion and how she kept her world rotating
  • The inspiration behind her board game 
  • Why coaches’ courses should be an  investment for you
  • How April is pursuing multiple tasks
  • How she got involved with the mass tort lawsuit
  • How to deal with the fear of failures
  • The discrimination against Black women based on their hair
  • The link between hair relaxers and fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cancer
  • Golden nuggets to anyone contemplating a big change 

.. .and so much more!
