I can't go natural beacuse....

How many times has someone come up to you and said, "WOW you're natural that's great, I can't go natural because [insert reason here]"

I seem to get those comments quite often. People have many reasons why they feel they cannot go natural. I don't think it’s my place to judge because making that leap is a big decision and it took me two attempts to finally make the plunge and stick to it. I bring this up because the other day I was having a conversation with someone and she said she couldn't go natural because she would have to buy new clothes. LOL. That has to be one of the funniest comments I have heard in a while. I reassured her that her hair didn't define her style. I think many people are under the impression that to be natural you HAVE to be Afrocentric. Not the case.

Being natural to me is a choice to accept your God-given hair and enjoy it for what it is.

I don't preach about natural hair but I do encourage. I have gotten more people to become natural just by leading by example. When they make the choice to attempt to be natural, I provide them with encouragement and support on their journey.

At the end of the day, you are your own person and what makes you happy is all that matters.

So have you heard any funny reasons or have you had any interesting reasons for not being natural?

Sex And The City II....

LOVED IT!
I am a big fan of SATC. I was so excited about the new movie. I have heard mixed reviews about this movie. I enjoyed this movie. I think people expect too much of the movie. Seriously, the movie is an extension the show that followed everyday women in the daily lives. The movie has to remain true.
Ok as far as fashion in this movie, it was to DIE FOR! I swear the movie make you feel like you need to have a pen and pad to take notes of all the fashion do and don'ts LOL. I was able to relate to so many things in this movie.
What I got out of the movie was this:

First, don't allow anyone to define you or your relationship. There are so many ways to have a successful relationship you find what works for you and enjoy.

Second, you don’t have to be perfect. Charlotte's character aims for perfection, I’m known for this. It’s ok if everything isn’t perfect and as a mother, you need a break. The truth of the matter is that you're not going to be happy with your children 100% of the time they will frustrate you and that’s ok. It doesn’t make you a bad parent it makes you human.

So this will be a DVD added to my collection when it comes out.
If you haven’t seen it, get dressed up go with your girls and have a good laugh...

Black In America 2

Been MIA for a second, I've had a lot on my mind as of late. One of the biggest things is revamping my lifestyle. I want to become more active....I'll elaborate further later.

Back to the topic at hand, I have been waiting to see Black In America 2 It was interesting to see all the different programs that are being offered to the Black Community and yet it was evident to see that we are lacking in some aspects but we are slowly but surely making a change.

I have such a high level of respect for the Principal of Capital Prep School he has shown an extreme dedication that I wish more schools would demonstrate. Seeing him inspired me to want to do better in my own academic career. I wish there were more teachers, counselors, mentors and principals like this Principal. So many of our youth especially young men would be headed in a better direction earlier instead of later in life. I went to a HBCU for 2 years and it was great to see all the potential in those classrooms but what was sad was seeing the female to male ratio in these classes.

Overall I loved the presentation it was inspiring, I loved to see my community being uplifted, I loved to see all the successful and up and coming people.
