I've interviewed another trusted hair specialist of the canadian hair and fashion scene. I had to pleasure to work with he in one of my music video projects and was very please and fortunate to have been exposed to her expertise. Her absolutely formidable. She taugh and techniques any many hair and beauty academies.
I've also asked her to shared some of the challenges regarding financial journey. We talked about how her trauma affected her ability to manage her financial life. I came to the conclusion that there is an holistic way to how hair artisans make decisions. Many of entrepreneur withing my generation have inherited of toxic money beliefs. Trauma is a response to a emotionally triggering event. Financial trauma is, then, the emotional response to an event or series of events around money.
“Trauma” as a word is not thrown around often and often a taboo. Especially common among the POC communities, people tend to disregard or ignore mental health issues, due to stigma, shame, or fear or judgement. As first-generation wealth-builders, it is up to us to break are generational curses. This one the first steps toward financial freedom and peace! It is a fact that is often discarded but our financial journey is deeply connected to your mental health journey.
