I was invited to start my week with a fabulous salon appointment PLUS a 1:1 consultation with Dove Hair Curl Expert/ Celebrity Stylist Cynthia Alvarez. We met at the Glow Dry Salon in Buckhead where each attendee was treated to gourmet snacks and pampered by the full salon experience.
I love the show Black-ish and I especially love the focus they give to natural hair styling and maintenance on the show. Everything from the episode where Grandma Ruby put baby girl’s straight hair into an Afro to ALL of the super cute teen styles that are worn by actress Yara Shahidi. Yara plays the character “Zoey” in ABC’s sitcom Black-ish. Her and her natural mom, “Rainbow”, played by actress Traci Ellis Ross have a typical mother/teen daughter relationship.

I was more than happy to take part in the Dove Hair #LoveYourCurls campaign. I have been a soldier in the #NaturalHair movement since 2009 and am very passionate about natural beauty and empowering women to embrace beauty on their own terms. I’ve made encouraging women to love themselves a big part of my life. This blog as well as my social networks all reflect it- I want everyone to know that part of self-acceptance is being confident in who you are and making no apology for it.

This humidity free, dry Winter air can literally kill your natural hair! The air can make it dry and very brittle, which causes it to be prone to breakage. Since there is typically less moisture in the air in the Fall and Winter months your hair’s ability to retain moisture could be affected during these times. If you are anything like most of us naturals, then you may have a different regimen for the Winter months, than you did in the Summer. Here are 5 ways to help you to retain moisture and prevent dryness during the winter months.

It was an honor (and SO much fun) to witness America’s favorite beagle, Snoopy aka “The Flying Ace”, being proclaimed as an honorary pilot by Delta Airlines! It was a star studded, red carpet event. Snoopy arrived with a 7 car motorcade along with the stars, producer and director of The Peanuts Movie that hits theaters November, 6th. The community came out to support the ceremony which was held outside the Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta. Many came out to see Snoopy!

One of most favorite things to do is meeting friends for brunch. After all, the best conversations happen over food and drinks. During my last brunch with friends I casually mentioned that I would be writing a post about Poise Impressa and boy did the conversation take an interesting turn. I’m not one to get into anyone’s personal female business so I was delighted to be the instigator of this interesting and necessary subject. 3 of the 5 women that joined me that day expressed that they deal with bladder leakage caused by coughing, laughing or sneezing or exercising.
On October 25, 1997 I boarded a bus from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Philadelphia, PA. Back then I was a single mother. I had 2 jobs and 2 young sons. The struggle was real. But yet, I was very active in my community and considered myself a real soldier for diversity. I ran the African American Employee Network at my job. I volunteered by working with children in my community. I participated in cultural events and really celebrated myself and “my people”. I remember when I heard about the Million Woman March.
In preparation for the upcoming Sistahs Do Brunch Wine Brunch Tour ATL we decided to periscope Live from an actual wine tasting. I am excited to be joining forces with Soul Wander Travel and The Sweetest Thing Events for this tour! We thought it would be a good idea to show you what to expect at a wine tasting so I stopped by Savor Wine Boutique on Hosea L Williams Drive.
