Sherrie Williams Becomes The First African American To Sell A Haircare Line To A Major Hospital

“Being the first ever African American in the country, I believe it’s very impactful. It’s another step in the right direction,” Williams told AFROTECH in the email interview. “It’s not just one race sick in hospitals, it’s all races, and with African American embracing our natural hair, we need something in hospitals that will not strip it. Most hair companies go for stores, which is great. I’m also going for stores, but to be in major hospitals is a turning point. It makes a loud statement. We are not being ignored.”

She continued, “It’s a great need for our products, and we are the best ones to develop it. Having the cosmetology experience I was able to develop shampoo and conditioner for all hair types with some of the best ingredients. The impact is loud, it means the hospitals are really paying attention to the patients’ needs.”
