With almost 25 years of experience as a licensed hair stylist and pioneering hair care specialist for natural and transitioning hair care, TaKeisha Berry-Brooks has an ambition to be a catalyst for positive change while inspiring the next generation of natural hair stylists.

As the Founder of A Natural Affair Beauty Lounge, Define Natural Hair, and Naturals in the City Hair & Wellness Expo, TaKeisha is recognized as a fearless leader and trendsetter in the natural hair care industry. She aims to be useful, educate, create opportunities, open doors, inspire, and ultimately embody the change she wishes to see in the world.

"Quand tu fais appel à un zèbre, tu lui demandes pas d'enlever ses rayures !"
Ludo (Gilles Lellouche) dans Ma vie en l'air - Rémi Bezançon - 2005

Depuis 10 ans maintenant j'aime bien gratter et provoquer partout où je passe, pour comprendre comment fonctionnent les choses (organisations, interactions humaines, business model, ...) et pourquoi on ne ferait pas autrement.

Aimant toucher à tout j'interviens au sein de plusieurs collectifs, dans plusieurs domaines, pour arriver à mes fins : imaginer et se projeter dans le futur, repenser les organisations et les manières de travailler, interroger le positionnement et la valeur des offres (produits et services), travailler la prise de parole et la mise en récit.

J'aime beaucoup Gaston Lagaffe, les Casseurs Flowters, les joggings et les casquettes. Et les Dinosaurus aussi.
