Celebrating 5 Years of Wakati

Celebrating 5 Years of Wakati

By: India Gay

5 years already? You read that right curlfriend! Just five years ago, we collaborated with FAMU students to revolutionize the world of Black hair care. As we mark this milestone, we’re thrilled to share that Wakati has a host of exciting plans and surprises in store to honor our journey and your unwavering support, starting with our five-year design challenge! 

This summer, we’re inviting HBCU students and recent graduates to showcase their creativity and talent in a special graphic design competition. Participants will design a digital graphic that embodies the spirit of Wakati, which we will feature in future promotional assets.  

Finalists will have the chance to receive guidance from the esteemed FAMU alumna and artist, Melissa Mitchell. The ultimate winner will be awarded a $5000 scholarship and the exciting opportunity to have their design featured on Wakati’s platform. 

That’s not all the excitement we have in store! Be sure to stay tuned to @wakatihair on social media for all the latest updates regarding our five-year celebration. For more information on the five year design challenge click here.
