I have not hosted a musical Wednesday in a while.
In general, I am sooo tired of judgmental people. That is why I LOVE this jam Queen.
I like to twerk in the mirror, and dance all alone, sometimes late at night. I also think EVERYONE should have civil liberties like getting married.
Music should have meaning, and purpose…
I am loving how women are more empowered to be themselves, and step outside the box of suppose to.

The Truth Natural Hair Brunch Review
What does the truth mean to you?

(Pictured left to right Nadira, Kenyada, Lady Kinnks, and Angela Elizabeth)
Our fabulous presenters dropped serious facts, opinion and knowledge to the Brown women in the room.
Angela Elizabeth shared The Scientific Truth About Hair.
Our bodies are made of millions of cells, and need to be nourished accordingly.
Kenyada was all about The Truth about being a Naturalista. She discussed the importance of staying grounded and being aware of “crutches” you may use to hide your insecurities. Your strongest hair is around your crown. Around your CROWN!
Nadira provided the last presentation discussing The Truth about hair products. liontress32 summed up Nadira’s product ingredients dos and donts nicely on her blog Whimsoulcal.
M Bistro served fabulous culinary expressions. I had cheesy Shrimp N Grits.
I definitely need to go back and have them again!
The next Truth Event will take place on Sunday October 6, 2013

The Truth about The Truth Bruch (Richmond Virginia)
Forgive me, i have not been completely clear about the intentions for The Truth Brunch.
See, it does not matter WHY or WHEN you went natural. It does even matter if you hair labeled 4b, 9a, nappy, curly or kinnky. It doesn’t even matter how you style or rock your twist, or twa.
What IS important, is that going natural CAN be an internal transition.
The internal transition is an on-going process, but it starts with three basic acknowledgments.
Acknowledgment #1
Science of Hair – How does your diet effect your hair growth? Is there a magic product that will define my curl pattern? How is important is my hair type? Do I really need a stylist’s advice about my hair?
Acknowledgment #2
History of Hair – Why do we “go” natural, when is the way we are born? What did it mean 5, 30, or 100 years ago to be seen with tight coils? Does wearing a relaxer in 2013 mean you are trying to assimilate?
Acknowledgment #3
Embracing Your Hair – Did I go natural for myself or others? Did I go natural because i wanted (fill in the blanks) hair, and not my own?
On April 20th, the truth brunch is focusing on Acknowledgment #1. The truth about hair through facts. Facts from highly knowledgeable, Richmond based women who know their stuff!
Our presenters..
Angela Elizabeth, Holistic Health Practitioner, Biologist, Herbalist, & Educator of the Holistic Sciences will discuss The Science of Hair.
Kenyada, is a Virginia licensed cosmetologist, instructor and blogger focusing on the care of natural hair will discuss The Truth About Being a Naturalista.
Nadira, creator and of Adiva Naturals and Roc Da Locs educates instructors around the nation will discuss The Truth About Ingredients In Your Hair Products.
Oh yeah, and me Lady Kinnks, the facilitator.
Our goal is to provide a forum of facts to debunk myths. To get you back to self discovery through your own hair and history.
I am guilty of not staying on track with what is important about rocking my own natural crown. I have asked myself, “If only my hair…”
That is why it was so important for us to create a forum that takes us back to what is important. Internal growth. The truth is, we’re using hair as a subject – but it is much deeper than hair.
Thank you to for your emails, and messages – ticket sales have been extended until Wednesday 4/17/2013.
Peace, Love & Shea Butter

Natural Hair Salon: Hairstory Rancho Cucamonga CA
Special Thanks to Imani Nash-Bey, Owner and Senior Certified Sisterlock Consultant of Hairstory Natural Hair Salon. Ms. Imani took the time to answer questions and give us an inside look into their exclusive natural hair salon…
Hairstory Natural Hair Salon
How large is your team?
We currently have a team of five consultants that range from trainees to certified consultants.
Do you exclusively style natural hair?
Currently, our staff only styles natural hair. We do not perform chemical services. However, some clients prefer to go to a colorist and return to us for the styling and maintenance of their hair.
What is your natural hair specialty?
Hairstory Natural Hair Salon specializes in Sisterlocks, Brotherlocks, traditional locks, twists, children styling, transitioning and other natural styles.
How long have you been doing natural hair?
I have been doing natural hair for over 12 years.
What inspired you to do so?
I wanted to provide an alternative to the traditional hair shop and provide a natural hair salon that focuses on helping you become a more natural you.
What makes your salon stand out from others?
Hairstory Natural Hair Salon is different than any other salon because you will receive specialized one-on-one attention. We work by appointments only to make sure you are getting all the attention you need to help you be a better you. There is no waiting at Hairstory. At our Salon, you will find a relaxing, comforting and professional environment to help you unwind. It is also a great place to network and meet many other Sisterlock clients. Additionally, we service men (yes there are Brotherlocks), women and specialize in children. We believe in respecting your privacy, as a result we offer a separate back room for any client that would like a more private environment.
If you could be any natural hairstyle – what would it be any why?
Sisterlocks, of course! Sisterlocks lets you take full advantage of your own natural hair. They give you the choice to maintain many different styling options. Sisterlocks makes those bad hair days, good hair days with less maintenance and fuss.
Do you have hair envy for any natural hair celebrities?
Not at all, I love seeing the different styles and flexibility that our hair has to offer.
What do you think about the upward trend of natural hair?
I am excited to see it return to mainstream media and in our everyday lives. It is good to see people embrace who they truly are.
What type of suggestions do you have for healthy natural hair?
Make sure that you communicate regularly with your consultant. Go with the finest and seasoned veterans who know what is best for your hair and that have a success record of long-term happy clients.
