Assalaamu Alaikum (may peace be with you) my dear sisters. Black henna. It’s a chemically based form of henna body art. It’s not jagua. It’s not natural. It causes extremely bad allergic reactions that can cause long term scarring and health affects. It’s made with hair dye like Bigen, which should never be put onto the skin. It is even banned in Canada. Scarring from black henna. I took this photo at a hair show in August 2017 This is something that is near and dear to my heart. I wouldn’t be writing this post if I didn’t care. It’s not about being in the business of henna or about trying to be better then someone else, it’s about our community. It’s about our health and choosing natural options. We have so many choices out there that we really shouldn’t even consider anything that can harm us or our children, nieces and nephews. It really saddens me to see the sisters in my own community still doing black henna. I’m even more sad about the henna artists in our community who continue to do black henna. Several of these artists also already know the harms of black henna. They choose to continue to offer black henna and I just don’t understand. This is not a personal issue, this is a community issue. I try to understand by breaking down the artists possible reasons in my mind. They want to make money. Honestly, you can make a very good living doing henna and jagua using natural ingredients. Otherwise, how would I still be in business? It’s up to us the...

What a wonderful 2017. It’s not really like the year disappears. I mean honestly?! It’s just life flowing into the next. I do believe the New Year’s gives a lot of people focus, hope and a means to start planning the future. Just remember that everything you’ve learned and been through for every year past is this person you’ve become and that’s just amazing! It means you are becoming and evolving. You are everything and more. I also recognize and feel compassion towards others that may have had to go through some things that they hated in 2017 and I do hope that 2018 gives them (and this may even be you) a sense of renewal, freedom, self expression and strength. To me this is my every day. Each and every day is an opportunity to wake up, to rise up and to start fresh. This past 2017 has been an amazing year. I have never felt a stronger sense of community. A sense of women coming together. Women empowering one another and supporting one another. I saw the relationships that were built. The hearts that opened up. The love shared. The energy has been phenomenal. Man, I want to cry, just reflecting on how amazing each and every woman that I’ve been so lucky to have met this year. To have hugged, laughed and shared with. I truly love each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. I ‘m not perfect and I’m going to keep working on myself. I hope to remain humble enough to always accept my short comings so that I...
