You wouldn’t know it by looking at her life now as a salon owner, author, and entrepreneur, but Natasha Ickes-Saman spent years homeless, hopeless, and addicted. In this raw and inspirational talk, she shares what she considers to be the key elements that helped her to break through from rock bottom to the life of her dreams.

As a 2x best-selling author, owner of Shear Passion Salon, and founder of Manifesting Miracles, Natasha has been a multi passionate entrepreneur her entire adult life. Her degrees and certificates range from Sociology and Ayurveda to Reiki and Cosmetology. Her hairstyles have landed in Munaluchi Bridal- which is the largest bridal magazine for women of color. She has
written articles for multiple publications such as the LA Tribune and Hudson Weekly. Her memoir won 3 awards in its first year of publication and she has spoken at conferences all over the world.
