“I wanted more for me. It was great while it lasted but I felt that people wanted, yes, to know and rock natural hair. We encouraged people to embrace their natural hair. There was a lot of us who were a part of that movement and was loving it, but there was still a struggle. For me it was deeper and I wanted to get people involved with the health and wellness of it.”

Staten Islander Dorcas Meyers, 58, started her holistic oil and butters skin, body, and hair care line in 2013, called Roc-A-Natural. Her shop is online and at her home currently.
