In the episode of 'Pigmented Pauses', hosted by KD, she reminisces about her childhood experiences going to the Simmons & Evans Beauty Salon with her family. She describes the salon as a cornerstone of their family traditions, a place filled with older Black women, life, wisdom and cultural teachings. She learnt her earliest life lessons there, of humility and acceptance, of individuality within constraints. Despite the discomfort endured during the hair treatments, KD cherishes these memories as they represent more than just hair care - they are symbols of cultural pride, family bonds. Above all, they taught her about community, care, and identity.
