The Master Pioneer Honorees have blazed the trail for others who have successfully established businesses in the industry,  contributed to product research and development, education, hair manufacturing, the design and creation of natural hair accessories and more. They teach courses, have authored books and influenced legislation. Their work has been featured in national publications and motion pictures, and they have been the go-to professionals for celebrities sporting natural hair styles.
