From Refugees, to Entrepreneurs, to Innovators!
Like so many others, I immigrated to Canada looking for a better life, a safer life; we all come with dreams, hopes and an idea of what we want our lives to be. Some of us achieve those dreams, and a few of us become innovators who inspire and pave the way for future generations.
Marina MuviraPublished 3 years ago in BlushNancy Twine
I really admire Nancy Twine. She is the founder and CEO of the hair care line Briogeo, which she started in 2013. The name of her company comes from two words, which are “Brio” an Italian word that means vibrant and full of life and “Geo” a Latin word that means of Earth or nature. For many years I have been searching for products to make my hair softer and to keep my curls under control. At some point I stumbled upon Nancy Twine’s Briogeo products at Sephora. Her products are for all types of hair and they have helped me with my hair concerns. Her products called “Don’t Despair, Repair!” have made my hair healthy and manageable. I am glad I have been supporting a Black-owned business for years but I had no idea who the owner of Briogeo was before preparing to write this article. I was not purchasing the products based on who the owner was but because they are great, quality products that actually do what they claim. But this was Nancy Twine’s plan all along, she wanted people to purchase her products based on the quality and effectiveness, not because they were made for a particular ethnicity. In one of her interviews she was discussing how in the past Black hair care products were commonly separated in a small section in stores. By focusing on hair texture rather than ethnicity this allows the Briogeo products to reach a much larger group of people because there are many different hair textures. Briogeo hair care products are all natural. Nancy Twine noticed that natural hair care products were being overlooked in the hair care market so her products give people who want natural ingredients that option.

How she did it. So often we see stories on the internet that make us eye-roll, that make us think “so what is the story here?”, that make us think “this cannot be real”. But then there are times that we stories that are just so undeniably true yet so unbelievable that they make us question EVERYTHING! Everything about our lives, our career choices, our very existence on this planet 😂🤣.

The difference is wild! In Nigeria, a man wearing dreadlocks is still very much seen as a sign of irresponsibility, a rugged lifestyle, etc. While it is just a hairstyle and a lot of the time, the person rocking it only does it because they find is stylish, it is still one of those things that can completely change the way a person looks.
