Threading the American Dream: Deepa's Fight for Freedom and Business in Mississippi
About this episode
Deepa shares her journey of overcoming state regulations to build a successful eyebrow threading business in Mississippi.
In 2019, Deepa's eyebrow threading business was shut down by Mississippi's cosmetology board for not having a license to practice a skill they didn't even teach. Six years later, she's thriving with multiple locations—and a landmark legal victory behind her. Hear the full story of how Deepa, alongside Aaron Rice, took on state regulations, rewrote the law, and is now empowering other women as business owners across the South.
