Today we’d like to introduce you to Tora Hines
Hi Tora, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My story as a braider literally started because I was a teen mom and I needed a job lol. I tried fast food but it wasn’t for me so I started doing my friends hair to get practice and next thing u know I was a braiding machine lol. I love making people feel good and look good. When people get out my chair all they do is smile and that makes me feel good. My party business started from my kids as well I love to create one of a kind items so when u come to a party you are like omg where did that come from and how did she do that. It’s all about feeling good that’s my main goal in life to feel good I had a traumatic childhood and I don’t want that for my kids so I just want to break that cycle. I am doing just that
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I definitely did not have a smooth life I had a drug addicted mother and I lived with my grandma I was molested as a child and was raped at 12 so im very over protective over my kids. I just want to give them the childhood I wanted.
