I was so excited to be a part of the Blissful Curls Tour especially since it kicked off in my city- Washington, DC with over 300 attendees! I really enjoyed being a panelist with fellow blogger/vloggers Whitney of Naptural85 and Yolanda of etcblogmag.com to discuss the natural hair movement and the importance of perfecting your brand to those who are aspiring to pursue a career in social media. The highlight of the evening was talking to all the beautiful naturals and sharing hugs and hair tips.
Huge thanks to the team at Curls for having me!
I hope you all enjoy the photos!
