Meet Our Founder

Lenay (Nay) was born and raised in southern New Jersey where she was surrounded by a large support system of family and friends. She was blessed with two sets of parents, over 12 siblings, and lifelong friendships.

After graduating high school at Camden County Technical Schools, Lenay immediately enlisted in the United States Air Force. The military is where she met her husband, Jeremiah, and learned many lessons while discovering her true self. She often struggled with styling her natural hair to fit military and societal standards. It was a constant battle to uphold a superficial image.

Through traveling, time spent with her peers, and several experiments, Lenay learned the importance of self love and acceptance. She found beauty in the extraordinary roots of her hair and her culture, and vowed to show others the same. Lenay began an outreach to woman and men of color to be open-minded and embrace their individual journey through her YouTube Channel, NayTriesThings.

When their military service was complete, Lenay and her husband moved to Austin, TX. She started her online business while pursuing her BBA virtually at Eastern New Mexico University.

Lenay hopes that Beyond the Root Beauty Supply will serve as a resourceful supply store and a safe self discovery platform for those like her. Lenay continues to enlighten others about the adventures of black beauty and the joy of loving the inner layers of every root within and beyond.
