This past Sunday I was super excited to attend The Industry Fashion Show hosted by The Monroe Sisters and Beautiful Brown Baby Doll. It was great to see so many gorgeous naturals out supporting the natural hair community.
The first scene in the fashion show was my favorite because it spoke to how their is an industry standard of beauty. The Monroe Sisters did a great job of defying these standards by having models of all different sizes, complexions and even hair types. Sometimes I think the natural hair community can start to feel like an elitist group. For this reason I especially enjoyed the diversity of this event. The room was packed with people of all races, ages and genders. You ladies did an awesome job! There are so many great events happening in the Chicago Natural Hair community. If you haven’t already, go and get your tickets for the The Black HERstory Event happening Feb 18, 2012. Join CharyJay of YouTube fame, The Monroe Sisters and Briana of The Mane Source. We are going to have a great time celebrating women and sharing natural hair tips. Click here to learn more. Enjoy the photos!
