CURLY GIRL DIARIES- 0007: HEADS UP! IV

I had two MAJOR highlights of the night! 


First, I met one of my FAVE natural hair bloggers, Wes of Honey Brown Sugar. She was super cool! PLEASE check her out!


Secondly, the main event of the night was an interview with Camille Yarborough,author of the 1979 book, Cornrows. My mom read this book to me constantly when I was a youngster. It truly made me love and appreciate the beauty and strength of my natural hair. I was near tears when I got the opportunity to speak to her. If you've never had the opportunity to read Cornrows, head to your local library or purchase a copy.
