Titi Branch, founder of Miss Jessie's natural hair care line, commits suicide

Titi Branch, one  of the co-founders of the wildly successful natural hair care line, Miss Jessie’s, has died. According to reports, the 45 year old beauty entrepreneur committed suicide on Dec. 4th at her home but her death was kept hush hush until this past weekend.

The graduate of the University of Maryland, who created the haircare line with sister Miko, also ran a popular New York salon. The branch sisters started their haircare line about 10 years ago and catered mostly to ethnic and curly hair types. 

There are reports that Titi was battling with depression before taking her own life. RIP, lady!

  83. RIP Sister ....

    No one knows your pain
    No one shares your pain
    No one knows what's the origin is
    No one can understand the tragedy

    You were loved by many
    You were cherish by all
    You are one of a kind
    You will always be remembered

    Life is crazy
    Life is beyond human comprehension
    Life is fun too but....
    Life is a teacher

    Much love, pray that God have mercy and may your soul rest in the bosom of thy Lord.

  92. Pretty lady. What will she tell God?
    Please LIBers, always try to share love all over, it doesn't matter whether you know the person or not. Always try to make someone smile daily. Try to compliment love ones, acquaintances and even strangers.

    And please and please, do not keep issues to yourself. If this lady had spoken out, maybe she would have still be breathing now.

  133. Pls people dat are battling depression should seek help from a psychologist @least at our naija level dats d only option we have. Am battling depression too as a result of an abusive relationship and am finding it very difficult to leave d guy but am gradually making steps to leave even if it's not easy and d depression is also as a result of other personal life issues n I know how many times I have had suicidal thoughts but I always bring out dat inner strength in me to battle such thoughts and I always have this believe dat de is nothing bigger than God which has really helped. So peeps battling depression should also get closer to God cos d greatest courage u need can only come from God n de is nothing God can't do. contactaniinnocent@gmaol.com
