Showing What I was Trying to Hide

THE CHAIR (S1/Ep50) — Showing What I was Trying to HideHello Beautiful People, I’m Your Host Dreme. I’m a Black woman, an educator turned tech entrepreneur but still an educator. Building a platform called THE CHAIR is a Black and Brown centered tech platform dedicated to supporting people on their hair journey. You can design hairboards, connect to hair stylists, and share hair care tips all in one space for a more joyous and streamlined experience. I built THE CHAIR Podcast to highlight hair journeys. A reminder to keep creating magic. As people sit in THE CHAIR you will get more than just hair stories. You will be immersed into experiences surrounding education, entrepreneurship, and identity. I hope you enjoy listening to my stories and the stories of my guests as we sit in THE CHAIR. THE CHAIR (S1/Ep50) — Showing What I was Trying to HideKat and I met in college. She became my little while involved as members of Tri Delta. Our relationship grew from there. I cannot be more happier that our paths continue to cross.Her Bio:Katerina is currently the Director of Student Engagement at OneGoal, where she brings a people first, strategic, and creative approach to her work with highschool students who are exploring their life goals and paths. Before this role, she led team operations and diversity and equity initiatives as Director of Operations. Katerina also enjoys mentorship and community leadership, and was part of the first cohort of fellows in the Obama Foundation’s Community Leadership Corps in 2018. Beyond work, Katerina loves people- she loves to connect with them and learn about different cultures through experiences and traveling. Being half Puerto Rican, she enjoys speaking and learning Spanish (and other languages) to deepen her ties. Music is another way she connects with people and cultures, with el reggaeton viejo being her favorite musical genre. Traveling to the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico especially, fills her heart and soul, thanks to the vibrant energy and warmth of the people. She also loves to love, whether on herself, her family, or her friends. She enjoys personal growth through working out, therapy, deep convos with friends, and self-help books to keep leveling up. Katerina lives in Chicago surrounded by her friends who are her family, and travels often to Florida, her happy place under the sun, to visit her parents and sister.Send us Fan MailHost & Exec Producer:  Dreme Flynt, M.Ed, MBAEditor: Lila Woodbridgehttp://www.lilawoodbridge.com/Music Creators: Your Host Dreme & Seoul (@xSeoulMusicx) Learn More About THE CHAIR:Join THE CHAIR Community for FREE:http://thechair.kinsta.cloud/Join THE CHAIR Newsletter for FREE: https://growinghands.wpengine.com/newsletter/ Commercial Credits: Visionary: Your Host DremeAnimator: Ahmad Merhi https://amerhifilm.com/film Voice Actor: D.
