Current Events - Naturals in the News
Around the time of the ball dropping in Times Square I set aside time to review. Review the past year, and develop a plan for the next year.
It seems like 2011 just flew by! For much of it, I feel like I was auto pilot, the details seem blurry. Our multi-tasking, social media, smart phones, tablets, gadgets, tv and whatever distractions from faith, friends and family. In 2012, I want to slow down and be a little more present. I started 2011 by sharing tips to achieve your Resolution.
2011’s Buzz was natural hair’s popularity and come back!!
The number of black women who say they do not use products to chemically relax or straighten their hair jumped to 36% in 2011, up from 26% in 2010, according to a report by Mintel, a consumer spending and market research firm. Sales of relaxer kits dropped by 17% between 2006 and 2011, according to Mintel. [1]
Those who follow natural hair can’t be surprised.
Even Dr. Drew touched on the topic of natural hair!

In my much younger days, I remember hearing adults describe how they’ll never forget when…
When, always followed by, the story of a tragic event.
The sadness in their eyes, and the silence as they reminisce was so distant for me.
Our generation now knows this feeling too well. Remembering on this 10th Anniversary of 9-11 has brought up these feelings.
We would be remiss, not to highlight some heroes…

I visited Seriously Natural, An older Natural’s perception blog in which I first heard the TSA asked to search a woman’s natural hair.
I always try and support the TSA agents because they are doing their job, and trying to keep us safe. I do not fly often..but the few times this year I have had body scans, and pulled to the side to have my liquids tested. Forgetting the TSA Horror Stories I patiently stand a side and follow their directions. I have heard heard stories of people protesting by walking through the security points in their underwear or naked. (I thought to myself these people are being bratty. Imagine if they were a minority that face regular suspicion). How quickly we forget how we felt the fatal day of 9/11.
With all the said, I would be very cheeped out if a stranger had to put his fingers in my hair. Yuck-o. Click read more for the video about the TSA’s natural hair search.
Do you think the TSA was racially motivated?
