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.
Camille Yarborough and I
Performance to "I Am Not My Hair" She had the most AMAZING skin!
My homie Jasu and Tulani Kinard. She is running for city ouncil here in BK's 41st District.
The mistress of ceremonies, Rev. Malika Lee Yardley and I. She was so funny!
This sculpture was in the Kumble Hall lobby where the event was held! Can I buy this?
