Meet Kay Cola, the multitalented founder of OrganiGrowHairCo, who identifies as Black, Puerto Rican, Spanish, Salvadorian, and white. The entrepreneur, Grammy-nominated songwriter, and singer aims to uplift Black women with her hair-care products.
When asked about other Afro-Latinas that inspire her to celebrate Black beauty, the influencer says she is a fan of Amara La Negra. "She is unapologetically herself, honoring both her Afro roots and Latinidad. She wears her hair naturally, and she's a gorgeous darker-melanated Afro-Latina," Cola says.
She was also inspired by the movie "The Photograph," directed by Stella Meghie and starring actors Issa Rae and LaKeith Stanfield. "I love that film. It's an art romance piece that highlights two darker-skin-toned leads with natural hair. The whole film, from music, casting, directing, and styling, is sexy and Black in all the right ways."
