I Miss LA Already..

I'm not sure if it's the weather or being off from work, but I need more of that. And soon. I guess one out of two, the upcoming snowy weekend will have to do.

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!

( SIDE NOTE: I've been painting, I've been painting.. stay tuned. PS. I still want a steak - 22 days in. )

Happy Wednesday!

I'm just getting back from a week long stint in LA, and I feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Sometimes you just need to break away from the workaday and catch up with faraway friends, new sights, sounds and feels. I didn't take as many pics as I would have liked because I was having too good of a time, but that may be for the best. It's good to stop and revel in the moment in this excessively update driven world that we live in.

Hope all is well, and I'll be updating soon.

Unite Against Racism x Collaborative Art Piece x DMV

On Saturday I joined several fellow artists/ bloggers/ creatives on a collaborative piece with the purpose of sparking discussion on the ongoing killings of young black men/ women in America. We were encouraged to express our reactions, and to stick to an overall theme of 'peace' and bringing these senseless killings to an end.

I was a little short on time and didn't get into it like I would have liked, but I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out. It felt great to work with other talented people and watch a vision come to life before my eyes, especially for such a great cause.

Special thanks to @hedislymane and @ajasmineinbloom for having me.
