Sisterhood of the traveling Fro's

World,

Long time no conversing. Since my last entry I graduated college, acquired a new path to my professional career, and I will soon boast a new address. In short, life is good, and as I am transitioning to the future my hair is along for the ride. As of lately, the journey has been less turbulent and almost enjoyable.
My appreciation for my hair evolution is inspired by the unsolicited
positive responses garnered from my fellow Black women. Perhaps I am extremely
grateful for the random commendations as of recently, because in the past, I felt
that Black women were among my harshest critics. These days, it seems that the occasional passer
will offer a word of encouragement or compliment to reinforce my mother's sentiments that I should walk tall,
even at four feet and eleven inches.

Natural hair or not, there is power behind affirmations, even if conveyed to a stranger.
So to the random sistas that have given me reason to smile, thank you. I will make it a priority to pay it forward.


Girl power,
First lady

LAND HO!!!

It's only appropriate we disappear for the Winter and reemerge for the Spring Season!! So I'm home in the C.O for Spring Break and my Mom hooked me up with a Natural hair care specialist for a consultation. I walked into Salon One awaiting the typical "oh I can't do nothin with that ... " response and I was taken aback. Not only did the young lady tell me my hair was beautiful, but she also informed me that she look forward in aiding me in my journey to take my hair wherever I want it to go. I set up an appointment for tommorow, and I left with a Koolaid grin.

Now you're probably wondering why I'm so delighted, especially when I have no clue about what this chick is about to do to my hair. Nonetheless, I am excited that someone didn't dismiss my complicated ends as they usually do. I know, that's minimal, probably insignificant ... but it meant a lot to me. So I'll make sure to keep you all updated. YUP!!

This is how I looked!!
