Dr. Afiya Mbilishaka innovated "PsychoHairapy," using hair as an entry point for mental health services in salons, barbershops, and on social media. She is a therapist, educator, research scientist, hair historian, and hairstylist, and owns Ma'at Psychological Services in Washington, DC.

Leading the PsychoHairapy Research Lab, Dr. Mbilishaka has published extensively and presented widely. As a recognized expert, she has testified before Congress for the CROWN Act, an anti-discrimination law to protect Black hair. Dr. Mbilishaka is also a natural hair stylist at N Natural Hair Studio in Silver Spring, Maryland, where she loves creating art with locs, twists, and afros.
