If you want something, go out and get it. Cut of those that are obstacles to getting it because lost time is way more valuable than lost 'friends'. As Jackson said, ''Time is finance, let's make the most of it''
He has his own books, one of them being 'Shutup and Take Action'. I haven't read it but from hearing his talks, that would be the right way to go if you're in need of some motivation.
There were stalls ranging from hair extensions, hair and nail products to handmade accessories. Below are my goodies!
My earrings say 'Big hair don't care' .. I think I need the whole collection tbh
I started following Taren's journey in January when I was still in the early stages of having an interest in hair stuff. Since then I've learnt that she is such a wonderful woman, just wanting people to love themselves, love their hair and embrace what they have.
It was a pleasure to meet her, especially considering she flew over from NEW YORK! I loved hearing her and other confident naturalistas speaking on their love for hair and how they had to deal with having natural hair in the community they're from as it can be looked down on quite a bit in some places.
I absolutely love her head of hair (obviously), and it's so inspiring to know that she's just an ordinary woman who big-chopped a few years ago and now has a massive 'fro.
I need to go and get inspired at more events just like this, hopefully I'll be at Curlvolution2015, tickets are already on sale!!
Selfie with Taren!
Events that are on my list of must-attends so far are:
Curlvolution
Afro Hair Live
Natural Hair Week
If you know of any others, please let me know!
(For those that don't know who she is, simply type TarenGuy on insta, youtube, twitter etc and she'll come up)
Love and embrace your hair, you might have something you dislike about it or wish you could change but just remember .. someone out there could be wishing they had what you had, so if you got it flaaaunt it girl!
