We’re making waves! 💧✨ AQUA Waterproof Headwear was recently featured on Shop Essence Live, an incredible platform that highlights innovative Black-owned businesses in partnership with The New Voices Family. Hosted by the amazing Stephanie Dunivan, VP of Essence Ventures Video, this interview was an unforgettable opportunity to share the AQUA story, our fly & functional product line, and how The New Voices Family and the Madam CJ Walker PACE Bootcamp are helping us take our brand to the next level.

From Personal Need to Game-Changer

During the interview, I had the chance to talk about how AQUA Waterproof Headwear started—born out of my own frustration with trying to keep my hair dry at the beach, in the rain, and even in the shower. Like so many women, I struggled with flimsy plastic caps, ineffective hoods, and tight swim caps that didn’t work or look good. That’s when I knew I had to create something different—a patented, stylish, 100% waterproof solution that protects all hair types while enhancing confidence and personal style.

Why AQUA Headwear is the Ultimate Hair Protection

Stephanie and I had so much fun breaking down what makes AQUA unique—it’s breathable, soft, stretchy, stylish, and fully waterproof. We even put it to the test when Stephanie fit ALL of her long braids into an AQUA Turban—and yes, it still looked amazing! 😍 That moment was the perfect example of our turban’s versatility, showing that AQUA Headwear is made for everyone—whether you have locs, braids, curls, or a sleek blowout.

Leveling Up with The New Voices Family

Beyond creating an incredible product, being an entrepreneur means always learning, growing, and connecting with the right mentors. That’s why I’m so grateful to be part of The New Voices Family and the Madam CJ Walker PACE Bootcamp, which are providing me with the knowledge, resources, and network to scale AQUA Waterproof Headwear into a household name.
