#NaturalIsProfessional

"#NaturalIsProfessional is a photo campaign collaboration with Professionals with Natural Kinks & Curls and Happy Hair Boutique. “Natural Is Professional” aims to show that many high-demanding career women rock natural hair in their workspace.

In February 2016, a number of high school students received backlash about their natural hair being “untidy, un-groomed, unkempt and looking like it hadn’t been combed for days.” Also February marks Happy Hair's 3rd Annual 'Love Your Natural Hair' Month. It only felt natural to join the two. 15 Natural Hair Professionals and four up and coming Natural Hair Young Professionals, including a medical engineer, a dentist, a CPA, a future doctor, a business owner and more, came out to show their support for these students and to prepare them “for today’s job market.” The result is countless stereotype-breaking, positive black hair images flooding social media timelines to make people rethink what professional hair can be." - #NaturalsProfessional

 

Great Qoute - Take it to Heart

In an past episode of the Oprah Show (from Monday, September 27, 2010), Oprah was interviewing Serena Williams. They were talking about Serena's love life, and she was expressing how it has been a difficult road for her to find someone.  Oprah said something so very very true. 

She said "You can't go around dimming your light just to be with someone else." Oprah told Serena that she was a powerful woman, and only the most amazing man will be able to come into her life and not only accept her for being a powerful woman, but embrace it. 

I was soo happy to be reminded of this. Ladies and Gentleman, you should never have to bring yourself down, to make someone in your life feel better.  This is a very powerful and important message that we all need to take to heart.

This thought filled quote comes from Vasanti Mccray.

"A Woman says on my page; If she see's 1 more brother over 30 with his hair braided, she's gonna throw up. I say 2 her; ur unaware of the Beauty of ur Blackness. Women get their hair braided everyday, no problem, but when a man gets his done we're called corny or tacky. People learn ur culture, heritage and history, pay homage 2 ur ancestors. I would like it if she knew something about her own blackness!!!!!!"

Inspiration Quote - Love is Light

Love is light - Light is Love

Knowledge is power! Love yourself and cherish who you are. Ignore others that tell you differently. If you are a leader, never let any one else tell you that you are a follower. If you try to do your best at everything you do, acknowledge that! Even when others don't. Love is light. It is seeing and knowing the true beauty of who you are, inside and out. It's powerful and can not be diminished by any one else. - Karen @ Naturally Beautiful Hair Blog
