Kween Konnie
My name is Koneisha Florestant, proud owner and operator of Kween Konnie Loving Our Crown, LLC. My passion has always been to uplift and support women—both in my personal circle and throughout my community. Over the past few years, the loc industry has become not only a way for me to live out that purpose, but also a means to provide for my family and empower other women along the way. What I’ve come to learn—and what you’ll soon discover—is that the loc journey isn’t just about hair. It’s a reflection of growth, healing, and identity. So get ready to lock in your future and step confidently into your loc journey!
