Welcome to TFA 2012 Induction

Hair, What Are You Wearing, , , , , , ,

I volunteered at Houston’s Teach for America 2012 Induction last week. I had a fabulous time! I met some great individuals who are about to undergo intensive training to be transformed into transformational teachers. Being among such high energy, optimistic people recharged my passion for education.

Here are just a few of the incoming TFA Corps Members.

I’m proud that I will be working along-side these individuals in the fight for educational equity.

Good luck at Institute!

These are some of the outfits that I wore that week:

[Swapped blouse]

[Thrifted pants]

I had my hair in coils all week. At this point, the coils are about a month old. I started experimenting with updos and finally settled on the basket weave technique or the the “lobster tail” that many loc’d individuals sport. All you do is layer strands of hair on top of one another in chunks. I used to do this style with my yarn braids for updos.

People kept telling me they loved my locs, which was very flattering. It seems I have an eye for loc-look-alikes when it comes to hair. Later on in the summer, I may try another loc-look-alike style when I go to New York.

This is what the back of my head looked like:

I know. Ridiculous! Lol.

Looking for NATURAL HAIR Info?

By now, you all know I love fashion, good food, and adventures. You should also know that I love natural hair! I have been natural for almost three years and I’ve loved every minute of it. Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since my Big Chop, but I don’t talk about my hair as much anymore. My hair used to be all I talked about!

I don’t want you all to miss out on all the lessons that I learned while I was transitioning and first growing out my hair, so I am going to dig deep into the recesses of the blogosphere and find some of my older stuff to share with you, if you are interested in natural hair.

In the drop-down menus, you should see a “Natural Hair” tab that should tell you just about anything you want to know about natural hair from transitioning styles to hair maintenance. You can also find popular natural bloggers and vloggers under the “Afroinspiration” tab.

The NATUAL HAIR section will be updated periodically.

Thanks,

The MANAGEMENT ;)
