Maggie launched a crusade across America—dubbed the 'Caravan to Catch a Killer'—crisscrossing the country in a brightly wrapped van plastered with her daughter’s photo and a tip line number. Maggie shares her story and how she is using her tragedy to help others.

For many girls, learning to love their natural hair starts at home — but what if the grown-ups at home aren’t sure how to care for it either? Chrystal Pennington is empowering girls, their parents and caregivers by helping them embrace their natural beauty. At her Good Vibe Studio, Chrystal is on a mission to teach not just young girls how to embrace their curls, coils, and kinks — but also the parents, foster parents, and caregivers who want to do right by their kids but don’t always know where to start. Chrystal tells us it’s more than just styling tips and wash day routines. It’s about showing every girl, and every caregiver, that natural hair isn’t something to fix — it’s something to cherish.
