I'm your host, Kemi Emmanuel—author, publishing strategist and empowerment coach—and today’s guest is a remarkable woman whose life embodies triumph, intelligence, and purpose at every turn.Her name itself tells a story: Fausat, meaning triumph, and Obeng, meaning intelligent. And she has lived up to both.She is the founder of Obeng Hair Coach, a ground breaking platform offering personalised virtual hair consultations for Black women and customised natural hair products tailored to specific needs. Her mission is beautiful: to empower Black women to love, embrace, and be proud of their natural hair.
