Conversations with Jada Ferguson

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jada Ferguson.

Hi Jada, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was raised in St.Louis, Missouri. I grew up in many different types of environments with all types of people. As a young girl, I was always complimented on my hair. At the time I was happy to receive compliments, but the spark of being fascinated with the hair industry was very small then. As I grew older, I took a fascination in hair care for American American Women. I often saw few, but not many brands that were specifically for black women or owned by black women and dedicated to uplifting and empowering us. So, my junior year of college I took an interesting course on Entrepreneurship and my professor made the remark to create a brand that is rare and promotes something that you truly believe in.

So, I decided to develop Melanin Monroe Hair to uplift and empower black women in the sense that we are beautiful and unique. Instead of marketing it as necessity for beauty I chose to key on the focus that it is an enhancement on the beauty aspects we already have naturally! My goal is change the narrative of beauty products and to showcase black women as the forefront of the hair industry in our own way that is fit just for us. Melanin Monroe Hair offers wigs, tape-in extensions, hair bundles, and hair tools and products that enhance the beauty and unique features Melanin Queens have surrounding our hair and protective styles that our culture associates with it.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
As a very young entrepreneur and as a young company it has been struggles of configuring the best way to represent my brand in the proper way and get it off the ground. As any business that starts off new, I am still learning and figuring out different ways to market and display Melanin Monroe Hair to get it on a bigger platform. As social media has become such a huge part of success for many businesses and entrepreneurs, I am working to figure out how to best promote Melanin Monroe Hair on all effective social media platforms with interesting content. The goal ultimately is get it marketed in major retail beauty/hair stores.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am also a young developing R&B artist. My artist name is Jada Morgan on all platforms. I sing all genres of music, but my favorite is R&B and soul. As a developing artist I am currently focused on my writing and the broadcasting of my own music. I am known for my covers of other amazing artists songs on my personal Instagram and tiktok platforms as well, and I am beginning to receive buzz for my own music on platforms! I am most proud of my drive and ambition to keep going forward in pursuit of my passion of music as the music industry is very hard to get into and thrive in. I feel like my voice sets me apart from others because I am very well rounded in the music and artists I listen to, which my own music that I write has many different components I’ve learned from all the different types of artists I love.

I have performed in many different states in the Carolina region, but my hopes are that my career extends to traveling globally sharing my gift and inspire many more people on my journey. I am thankful for my journey thus far, but I am excited for more opportunities to explore my craft. My Instagram is @officialjadamorgan where I share most of my content for all my endeavors for music, my hair company and other personal aspects of my life. As well as my YouTube channel “Jada Morgan” where I showcase videos for music and things regarding my life as entrepreneur, musician, new mom and many other things about my personal life.

Any big plans?
My plans for the future include traveling the world, marketing Melanin Monroe Hair and uplifting black women in their hair journey and in life in general! I plan to further my music career and ultimately uplift and empower all women that we can do anything we set our minds to and that we are strong, beautiful and unique. I am looking forward to inspiring and empowering others that they can do anything and be anything they want to be!
