About Vivian Kaye
Vivian was born in Tema, Ghana, and immigrated to Toronto,
Canada as a toddler. After dropping out of college and battling
depression in her early adulthood, she worked a series of jobs as
a French bilingual for several startups in fintech, Medtech,
and at the home office of a multinational franchise company. She
took these entrepreneurial lessons and started a 6-figure wedding
decor company.
While running that business, her 2nd
business, KinkyCurlyYaki was born. Tired of not being
able to find high-quality hair extensions that matched her afro
hair texture, and realizing she wasn’t alone, the company took
off. In the first year (2012) it hit 6-figures. Then in 2016, it
hit 7-figures, as it remains today, which has allowed her to run
the business while single-handedly raising her son, sharing her
story internationally, and helping others reach their goals.
