What is Braids Gang?

Celebrating Black beauty culture, and creating opportunities for creativity and entrepreneurship, Braids gang was founded by Gabriella Anderson. You can read more about Gabriella's backstory here.

In their own words: "We champion the art and impact of braiding by building a strong, supportive network through education, content creation, interviews, workshops, and online platforms, equipping our community with knowledge, creativity, and confidence.

Our mission is to empower and inspire individuals to embrace their roots, own their power, and unapologetically defy societal norms. By celebrating natural hair and bold individuality, we encourage global communities to rise above limitations and step into their greatness.

Braids Gang is where authenticity thrives, self-love flourishes, and the future of beauty is redefined."
