The Founder, Takiyah Wedderburn has worked very closely with numerous foster families and they shared many concerns about how to care for their foster child in a sensitive way that was in line with the child's unique cultural practices. Some of the areas of concern were how to manage the child's hair, how to manage their skin and understanding the challenges black children and youth are faced with daily about their self-image.
