Courage is a trait that many of us fight to endure. It’s an admirable characteristic for one to exude. Tasheara Neshell, 34, a mother, celebrity hairstylist and public speaker carries these titles with significance and poise. Her hardships as a single parent inspire those who know her to continue on their journey to greatness and purpose. In a society where sometimes giving up seems to be the easiest option, Tasheara’s vision and natural talent overcame the thoughts of falling victim to circumstance. She’s beautifully courageous and that’s why she’s our girl in COLOR.
Tasheara Neshell: Courage & Style
“My title says celebrity hair stylist… but that’s not me. I’m just a girl…”
-Tasheara Neshell
I am resilient. I’ve watched myself grow from a young girl to a young lady and now a woman who holds no regrets for my growing pains. What makes me unique is being comfortable with my humility and self endurance to reach this point of my life. Being a woman allows me to inspire others simply by giving back to who I once was, a young lady and a girl. There’s more young ladies in the world who are searching for that ground mark to womanhood. Anxiously waiting to take off full speed in hopes of owning that feeling of liberation and accomplishment that every woman feels when she has reached her peak. How do I know? Because I was her even at 23 years old. For me, being a woman is 30 percent of my career and 70 percent of my character.
