I am late as a boot with my recaps(as always) but here it is! This Wednesday, I headed to NY solo while Antoinette worked to attend this awesome event hosted by the queen of natural hair Curly Nik-kay!

I am sooooo glad to see these pics!! The pics entitled “Hair Color is no effin’ joke” is my hair! This is how my hair look on the regular, with no chemical. So, now when my husband, boss, and son ask me, “Is that what you want your hair to look like? I mean I understand you are doing this “all natural” thing!” I can now respond, HELL YEAH, I AM FAB!!! -Like I knew I did from the begining. They are just not used to seeing me NOT fried, dyed and layed to the side. Natural is the bestest feeling yet! If anyone knows this sista, in this pic PLEASE PLEASE tell her THANK YOU!!!! #MyWalkContinues
