About Me

I am Dr. Kadian Pow, and I have organised my life around my various interests. I am the wonder of Bourn Beautiful Naturals, creators of handmade goods for textured hair and sensitive skin. I built my business at the same time I was pursuing a PhD and lecturing in courses like popular culture, representation and discourse as well as Black feminism. I have published several academic pieces and am currently working on a book connecting my life experiences in a way that helps students better understand how Intersectionality functions.

Besides the things that I *do*, I love beauty, Black popular culture and sociology, baking, TV fandom and blogging. I am a former Tumblr blogger who spent years dissecting the TV show, Scandal, until I convinced myself to turn it into a PhD.

I moved to England twelve years ago, before same-sex marriage was legal in the United States. Yes, also because it was not legal. I live with British my wife and two gorgeous adopted dogs (with whom I am obsessed).
