Making Community Connections
Laid by Lyric
University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Jr., Lyric Love paid a special visit to U.S. Grant to see about a deserving young General. Lyric a Division 1 scholar-athlete, also runs a hair business. Lyric understands the importance of giving back. She made time to help a student with their hair care routine. For Lyric it is more than styling hair, it is changing a person's life. Lyric's sentiments were echoed by a beaming Nikel who said she felt confident and loved with her hair being Laid by Lyric.
