Dallas, TX, USA - February 7, 2025 - Tasha Naquin, the visionary behind Silk Sations (silksations.net), will be featured on Breaking Barriers, the Zondra TV Network show that highlights Black entrepreneurs who have overcome significant challenges to achieve extraordinary success.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Tasha Naquin's journey is one of resilience and determination. As the third of five children, she was born chronically ill, resuscitated at birth, and given little hope for survival by doctors. Despite these early hardships, Tasha faced life head-on.
As a teen mom during her senior year of high school, she graduated with both full and partial scholarships. However, her lifelong dream had always been to become a hairstylist, a passion she pursued from the age of eight. By 27, she had survived a stroke. By 31, she was a published author. Before turning 35, she had endured three heart attacks. In 2014, she was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and nearly lost her life when doctors discovered a blood clot the size of a lemon in her liver. Two years later, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and a rare brain disease, leaving her wheelchair-bound and told she wouldn't live past 2021.
But Tasha refused to accept that prognosis. She turned to prayer and sought a healthier lifestyle, examining the products she was using and realizing they contained harmful chemicals. Drawing on her expertise as a hairstylist and conducting extensive research, she began crafting her own natural and organic hair and skincare products—products she credits with improving her health and saving her life.
No longer confined to a wheelchair, Tasha continues to battle significant health challenges but has greatly reduced hospital visits. "Being chronically ill is no excuse for me not to keep going," she says. In 2018, her products gained national recognition, selling online through Walmart and other major retailers. One of her biggest supporters, actress Tabitha Brown, publicly praised Silk Sations, calling the Curl and Defining Cream her favorite hair care product and raving about how the Body Butta Cream made her skin smell amazing.
Beyond business, Tasha Naquin has dedicated her life to philanthropy. In 2011, she founded Poetry in Motion Kare Bears, a nonprofit supporting chronically and terminally ill children. Her humanitarian efforts earned her the first Spoken Word Billboard Award for Humanitarian of the Year in 2012 and a proclamation from New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu in 2013. She graced the covers of Entrepreneurs of Color (E.O.C.) Magazine in 2013 and 2015, and Overview Exclusive (OE) Magazine in 2018. That same year, legendary producer and R&B artist Teddy Riley hosted a charity event in her honor.
Her business has continued to flourish, with billboards featuring Silk Sations appearing across New Orleans and even in Times Square. She also created a jingle and launched a TV commercial, bringing her brand into millions of homes.
Tasha Naquin's journey will be showcased on Breaking Barriers, where viewers will get an inside look at her inspiring path from survival to success. Her story is a testament to perseverance, faith, and the power of entrepreneurship.
