Weekend Recap: The Black Love Experience Part Trois

This weekend I had the pleasure of attending The Black Love Experience Part Trois, and it was awesome. The line was wrapped around the block, (which I've never experienced before at one of these events) but the experience was worth the wait; each year it gets better. This year offered more art than years prior from amazingly talented black artists, a breathology station (where I thoroughly enjoyed learning proper breathing techniques), two paint and sip sessions and my personal favorite... a station where you could write a love letter to black people, a lover, or whoever else you choose and have it typed up on an old fashioned typewriter! So classically dope.

Special shout out to Ujaama Box and Charles Jean Pierre!

Weekend Recap: The Black Love Experience @ Nubian Hueman x 2/8/2015

Nubian Hueman hosts some of the best events in DC; that's not opinion, that's a fact. The Black Love Experience was no exception. The night was perfect from beginning to end. Black owned businesses from all across the DC area came together under one roof to showcase their genius. There were fashion/ accessory designers, massage therapists, pastry chefs, artists, poets, relationship gurus, (complete with dating/ marriage workshops) photogs and musicians. Anything you could possibly dream up... it was there. And I'm so thankful that Anika continues to give all of these opportunities to young black entrepreneurs to get their names and brands out there. I will forever support Nubian Hueman because of that. And who knows, maybe next year you'll see a familiar face there. ;)

Special shout out to the brands: LLULO, Jamilla Okubo (artist), House of Mimi, Good Thoughts Tea Co, AllyElle Cards, 84 Gem, Pages (poet), E-Baby (poet) Markus Prime (artist), The Date Whisperer (relationship guru), Ujamaa Box, Cakes by Tanya (pastry chef) and many, many more.

Inspire the Tribe.

( SIDE NOTE: Another thing that I appreciate about these events is the crowd. Ankara prints and natural hair everywhere! lol It's so nice to be among people that appreciate a little culture over the club. )

Dove x Love Your Hair Campaign

I've only truly started embracing my naturally hair within the last two years. Take a look at where it all began here. (and I love that Dove is making a campaign about loving and embracing who you truly are. Now, even when I get the urge to straighten my hair it is short lived.. it just doesn't feel like who I am anymore. I love my big curly unruly mane and I wish that I would've began loving it sooner.

Come out to The Black Love Experience hosted by one of my favorite boutiques in DC, Nubian Hueman, on Feb 8th. Use House of Mimi promo code below for a discount, and I'll see you there!
