Sonto Pooe started doing hair as a means to earn extra money for a pair of sneakers as a teenager; years later she’s the owner of successful natural hair care brand Native Child. 

“I’ve always been passionate about hair, I was one of those obsessive people... if something doesn’t look right I will fix it for you. I’ve always loved my hair, even as a child my great-grandmother used to allow me only, out of all her grandchildren, to touch her hair; I feel like that is something that I was born with."..
