Our founder, Maeva, spent a lot of time hanging around her Mum’s braiding salon in Perth, Australia, as a tiny and impressionable human. Beauty and hair products punctuated her everyday, and became a cornerstone of her growing up.

Maeva spent her early career working at global ‘big box’ beauty brands. But something didn’t feel right. She wasn’t really acknowledged in mainstream hair conversations, and struggled to find clean hair products that were uncomplicated, practical, and fun.

The BRC engages the public through an annual process of reviewing proposals and providing critical and financial support to projects that have been selected by the committee. This work will manifest in built commissions, research funding, exhibitions, events, and publications, that will collectively imagine transformations to the built environment in the Black Radical Tradition.

Kelly Chibale says that the hunt for new drugs is kind of like a fairy-tale quest. And it takes a lot of time and patience. “It doesn’t mean that there aren’t surprises or miracles,” he says. “They do happen, but you have to kiss many frogs before you meet the prince.”

The “prince” might just be a new medicine to treat malaria or tuberculosis.

This search is what motivated Chibale to found the Holistic Drug Discovery and Development (H3D) Centre at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, where he currently serves as director.
