Ladies and Gents its just hair...Everyone who knows me can attest to the many different dos I adorn my crown with. Friends and followers on the World Wide Web who don't know me can too. After changing my hair so much one thing became clear: Regardless of what was on my head, as long as I was confident people liked it. Women often denote beauty by the appearance of their hair. even though years of feminism have reassured them that what's inside of their head is more important. I won't pretend that what is on my head is irrelevant to me either. (Clearly, I keep changing it.).However, I refuse to be stuck in the tandem of mundane hair. While, the mantra "think outside the box" has been drilled in our heads, people often forget to apply it to their crowns. While everyone can't go rocking a fade, or blue hair, everyone can be creative with their look. Hair shouldn't be a prison for our beauty ladies, it should be a mirror of our confidence. Throw on the turban, add a flower for flare. Worse come to worse, you'll have some great pics to bury deep in your social media sites. Men will get over the initial shock, family will adjust: So, take the plunge and do that thing you wanted to your tresses. Just make sure you do it with pride.
Over the course of the last four years, I have dyed my hair over six times, cut it about 4 and had dreads. The occasional weave or two also inched onto the scene. Below is a display of the many styles of MK from the oldest to the latest.

After the Storm ReflectionsBefore I get into my original topic: Delay is not Defeat., I would like to take a moment to reflect on the post After the Storm. My heart goes out to all those who have lost in the tragedy Oklahoma has faced. The post below, though about my life, can speak to those in the rubble. There is hope! You guys are awesome. God has given you this avenue as a way to be resilient and strong. The months ahead won't be easy, but you are here! You must take these next days to celebrate the everyday triumphs instead of reveling in the lost. For those of us fortunate enough to watch, instead of experience, let us rally behind our fellow Americans. Delay is not DefeatThe last three months of my life have put lots of change in my perspective. I suffered some losses and forgot to celebrate the triumphs of everyday life. Now that the storm has passed, I'm left with a few exciting facts. Why there's still hope!1.) You guys are awesome!
I know it sounds cheesy, but seeing visitors stop by The Strog everyday reminded me of why I created ATS in the first place. 2.) God blessed me with an awesome avenue! The readers on The Strog aren't the only people who God has blessed me to reach; A wonderful entrepreneur, Tanikia Thompson aka Nikki, has also allowed me to be apart of her dream. So please be sure to check out NIKKIANDTHECITY.COM 3.)There are six months left in 2013! One of my biggest goals for this year was to work harder at the ATS Mag brand. I still have six months to do that! Hey they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? More cheese, I know, but this cliche will always ring true. All the things that I could not achieve have made me hungry for work. So I give to you the same Blog with a new Editor. =] -Mk |
