PUFFCUFF

I NEED HELP TO KEEP PUFFCUFF DOORS OPEN! This year has been the toughest year of my life. I’ve always been transparent on the peaks and valleys of this entrepreneurial journey. I don’t believe or endorse suffering in silence. With a very heavy heart. I’m facing the harsh reality of having to close my business after 12 years. We are running out of cash. My need is minimal in the big scheme but we need sales to keep going. So here is my plea. 1. Share this IG post with friends, family and colleagues. 2. Shop, donate or both on my site, thepuffcuff.com 3. Tag a celebrity of person of influence who has a heart for small, black-owned and female-owned businesses. We can stay open with the help of the community! Your support by sharing, tagging, shopping, donating will help to save us alive. https://lnkd.in/eGDH2Exm New Voices Foundation BrainTrust Founders Studio Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses - NYC Black Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute (BWEL) Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs Greater Women's Business Council WBENC National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council (GMSDC) USPTO AARP Foundation McBride Sisters Wine Company Uncle Nearest, Inc.

We are filled with unspeakable joy that our PuffCuff Hair Clamps are providing dignity and comfort to young patients at the University of Rochester Medical Center Golisano Children’s Hospital. We applaud nurses Taylor Muoio, Tanisha Lewis, Rebecca Kanaley, and Melina Embury for highlighting these inequities with their challenges to provide complete care for children with textured hair. Thank you to Saabirah Campo & Dr. Sheniece LaToya Martin-Stancil-El, DNP, RN, CNL for supporting the inclusion of Black women-owned businesses to provide essential products. We can all relate to the need for the right tools to care for all patients from head to toe, especially if you have curly hair and have stayed multiple days in the hospital. PUFFCUFF and KAZMALEJE are two of the companies proudly providing products and education for this hair equity program. My patented hair clamp design is the alternative solution to using elastic hair ties which cause pain and hair damage. Protecting and maintaining healthy hair by providing safe and pain-free hair tools for those with curly and textured hair to is essential. This truly one of our passion projects. We have our eye set to do the same for those with textured hair in the #armedservices #lawenforment and #foodservices.
