In partnership with The Quick + The Brave, a culture-first independent platform, our new video series highlights four stories from emerging Amsterdam-based creatives, focusing on empowering different perspectives on cultural inclusivity, community building and self-care.

Our first episode features Fashion & Afro Hair Artist and Multidisciplinary Creative Faou Biera. Faou creates hair artistry on another level. She uses her craft to inspire and educate people about African hairstyles and its history, highlighting that “culture is more than the aesthetic.”
