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!

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.
