Natasha Gaspard is an Emmy Award winning television producer who founded Mane Moves Media, Inc., the leading digital media and entertainment company creating lifestyle video content for women of color with natural hair.  Born and raised in Brooklyn NY as a first-generation Haitian-American, Natasha is the youngest of 3 children and has always been fascinated with the entertainment industry particularly television and movies. Natasha realized that storytelling has always been her passion as she reveled in creating music videos and writing screenplays.  This passion led her to major and excel in Communications with a concentration in Film & Broadcasting at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, NY.  She embarked on a career as a television producer for BRIC TV where she was nominated and won awards for producing stories that focused on social justice issues in Brooklyn. 

Natasha's passion for storytelling grew as she noticed more and more that Black women are ignored in mainstream media and are rarely celebrated for their natural beauty.  She decided to branch out on her own to create video content that represented Black women wholly and fully as they are.  This platform was created to not only celebrate all things natural hair and beauty but to provide a place for women of color to connect to one another through their amazing stories!
