We teach youth entrepreneurship and empowerment –through hair.
Our Why
The world can be trash—especially to Black and Brown girls. At Ahead, we’re not sugarcoating it.
​
We’re building the spaces our girls deserve: spaces where they’re seen, heard, and celebrated. Through hair, we teach leadership. Through braiding, we spark confidence. Through community, we grow young entrepreneurs who know their worth.
​
This is empowerment that starts at the root.

I have a son who would love this. Can he participate?Inclusivity is one of our core values. This means we welcome everyone at Ahead Academy! But since there are so few camps offering programs specifically Black and Brown girls, our curriculum is created with young girls of color in mind. While we accept all students in our program, please know that the focus of our curriculum and programming will remain the same. Email hello@aheadacademy.org with questions.
