I am so very thankful and appreciative of all of the love and support that was shown last week at the Black Beauty Summit. Hundreds of women from Chicago to Delaware and even Atlanta came out to celebrate Black History Month with Chicago’s largest natural hair community “Chicago Natural Beauty Meetup.” I am amazed that this little community that started out with just one member has grown to over 1700 members. There are so many things I want to share and people I want to thank for helping make this event a success, if I have overlooked anyone please charge it to my head and not my heart. Special thank you to presenting sponsor Curls Unleashed and contributing sponsor CURLS. A big shout out to Creme of Nature and Beautiful Textures for keeping our swag bags fully stocked with full-sized products. Last but not least thank you to all of the members and attendees for sharing your comments about the event, after all of the hard work is done I truly look forward to reading your rave reviews. Save the date we are celebrating motherhood and empowering young girls on May 11, 2013, join the community to get more details. Enjoy the photos!
