Chris-Tia, author of Thank God I’m Going Natural, is really serious about her mission: to promote the beauty of natural hair. Today, she was on ABC News Chicago to promote her book and give helpful tips on how to maintain natural hair (view the video here).   The models were so beautiful and had various styles and natural textures. In addition, Chris-Tia was also on the Garrand McGlendon show.

I feel this is going in a great direction.  In the future, we won’t have to listen to people chastising us for wearing our hair natural.  In the future, going natural won’t cause women to pace around in panic because they’re too afraid of what others may think, or because they feel like they won’t know what to do with it.  Maybe then, many of the myths will actually be known as myths.  I’m so proud of you, Chris-Tia. Now if we can make natural hair the norm by the time my daughter is a teenager, we’re good. LOL.

Last but not least, Vogue Italia launched Vogue Black today and their writers are Patrice of Afrobella and Andrea of Fly. There was also a section for the curvy beauties on the site. If you don’t speak the language written on this website, you can view it in English through Google translate buttons. Also, for Google Chrome users, there’s an translator extension that you can add here. From what I’ve read, they’re getting mixed responses on this venture. While many are proud, there’s others who are wanting to know why it has to be separate, or why this couldn’t be put in a separate publication all together.

I, for one, am so happy. (Now if we were being misrepresented, it would be a different story.) We’re more visible now than we were before and it makes a great stepping stone to reach to even greater heights.
