Natural Hair Meet-Up

So I was at home almost falling asleep Lol…and I refreshed my Twitter TL only to see that there was a natural hair meet-up…IN MY CITY!!! I was like OMG…why hadn’t I heard about this?! Then again, I’d been so busy and on the go so I hadn’t really paid attention to the radio, checked Facebook, etc. The Magic City Natural Hair Meet-up (Birmingham, AL) was from 3pm-6pm, but the clock was reading a little past 4! I knew it was time to wash my hair, because these past few days of working out (Spin and Zumba-especially) had my hair feeling icky. I hopped in the shower, washed my hair, and got dressed on a whim!

I kept trying to find tickets, but everywhere on the web said they were sold out! I took a chance and went anyway. I arrived around 5:15 pm and I was still excited to see that it was still going strong! All you could see was a sea of Pretty Brown Naturals from all across my city and beyond (I’m sure)! It was so refreshing to see so many beautiful women come together for such a great purpose. I remember one of the topics being discussed was ‘Natural Hair in Corporate America’. It made me feel so good to know there are so many Naturalista’s from Corporate-America rockin’ their fro’s, twists, kinky-beautiful, big curly, etc. hair in the workplace! I mean come on…it is 2011! Why should we feel guilty about wearing our hair the way it grows out of our head? Let me stop there, because that’s a post for another day!

I had a great time, learned so many new things, saw some old faces, and met some pretty awesome women! I look forward to the next natural hair meet-up! I hope it’s one in the near future!

Blog ya later PBN’s! Have a great rest of the weekend!
