Why did you start your business?
Niya's Coily World is a platform for hair empowerment and education. Our children's book shares a young girls journey to embracing her coily afro hair. I started this business to share my journey and inspire the next generation to embrace their unique hair textures.
What's the one thing you're proud of in your business journey?
Our children's book is our feature product, and we also sell hair-inspiring tshirts. We're also hosting a book launch event with a textured hair expert at a texture beauty salon
What's the biggest accomplishment for your business?
My business is just getting started but we already confirmed two amazing brands to partner with us to deliver an immersive live book launch event where the book comes to life.
What do you think you need in order to get to your dream brand?
Community. Collaboration is at the heart of what Niya’s Coily World is trying to do to redifine how the world views afro hair. Collectively we can empower equal representation of every hair type.
It's 5 years from now and you're sitting at the top in your penthouse, what's the one thing you would share with yourself today?
Wow. I'm not mentally there yet, but I would say: look at all those 'no zero days' you put in. Everyday putting in work to see your vision through. Exhale. It's time to exhale. :)
