The last post I made was about a week ago (week ago)…I had to lol. Since then the 2015 7th Annual Nzuri Hair, Health, and Makeup Festival has taken place. Let me tell y’all…this experience was MORE than anything I could ever imagine. From the planning down to the actual event…honneeeyyy it was on!!
Let me just start with the IHearThatGirl crew…
The entire team was AMAZING!! Kimberly “Isis” Thomas set it off while bringing her websiteihearthatgirl.com, The Premiere Website for Positive Black Women, to life on her very own stage! DJ L-Boogie kept the weekend hype with her mixture of old school and new school flava, Alton Walker did the damn thing keeping us all entertained-he kept the laughs flowing for sure. Kyla Thompson (blogger & founder of www.pinkproverb.com) added some spice with the Car Confessionals from the Mazda CX-3. LaKeshia Collins, Ronald Cetoute, and Trumane Watkins were ON POINT with making sure the weekend ran as smooth as freshly laid tar!! All in all this crew is definitely one that I admire. Looking forward to next year! Make sure you check out the their sites!!!!
Speaking of Mazda CX-3, this car is super cute!! It’s a compact SUV so it’s not too big, and not too small.
Perfect for if you, like myself, love the feel of an SUV but don’t necessarily want to feel like you’re driving an 18 wheeler! Moving on…
This year was jam packed with workshops galore, vendors on vendors-on some more vendors, runway shows, pageants, local talent, giveaways *gasps for air*… Andre Walker (7x Daytime Emmy Award Winner for his FABULOUS hair work on the Oprah Winfrey Show) and Reggie Wells (Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist for the Oprah Winfrey Show) were in attendance to be guest judges for the hair and makeup competitions that took place!! Andre Walker also did a LIVE hair demo on the I Hear That Girl stage. Need I say more? Luckily for you, I captured some of the highlights of the weekend…enjoy…
