Listen "EP 252 Ending Healthcare Disparity with Wigs for Women of Color"
Episode Synopsis
Every woman, regardless of hair texture, deserves a wig that resembles the hair that she lost.Our guest, Pamela Shaddock, is Co-Founder and COO of Coils to Locs, a social impact, for-profit enterprise that addresses a healthcare disparity: the lack of coily, curly, ethnically inspired wigs at cancer center hospitals and medical hair loss salons that can be purchased with health insurance reimbursement if applicable.Pamela and her Co-Founder (and sister!) Dianne Austin are intimately aware of how dehumanizing fighting cancer and traction alopecia can be, even with the best efforts and the most compassionate care. Hair loss adds to the feeling of powerlessness and loss of control, especially when you can’t find a wig that resembles the hair you lost.A professional film, TV and stage actress with a strong background in nonprofit, Pamela co-leads the company’s free health, wellness and beauty workshops for cancer patients, survivors and caregivers.Add wind to Coils to Locs Equity Crowdfunding Campaign on Wefunder here: https://wefunder.com/coilstolocsTo learn more about Coils to Locs, please visit: https://coilstolocs.comTo purchase a Coils to Locs wig, please visit: https://coilstolocsstore.comFollow Coils to Locs on Social here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/coils-to-locs/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coilstolocswigs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CoilsToLocsTwitter: https://twitter.com/CoilstoLocsPamela's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelashaddockThank you for carving out time to improve your Founder Game - when you do better, your startup will do better - cheers!Ande ♥https://andelyons.com#bestyoutubechannelforstartups #startupstories #startuplife JOIN STARTUP LIFE LIVE MEETUP GROUPGet an alert whenever I post a new show!https://bit.ly/StartupLifeLIVECONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: https://twitter.com/AndeLyonshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andelyons/ https://www.instagram.com/ande_lyons/ TikTok: @andelyonsANDELICIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTSArlan’s Academy: https://arlansacademy.com/Scroobious - use Ande15 discount code: https://www.scroobious.com/How to Raise a Seed Round: https://bit.ly/AAElizabethYinTune in to Mia Voss' Shit We Don't Talk About podcast here: https://shitwedonttalkaboutpodcast.com/SPONSORSHIPIf you resonate with the show’s mission of amplifying diverse founder voices while serving first-time founders around the world, please reach out to me to learn more about making an impact through sponsoring the Startup Life LIVE Show!
