Black Landlord Evicts Korean
Beauty Supply Store Owner
|
Ms. JoeAnn McClandon, who is African-American, owns commercial property located at 4600 Chippewa St., St. Louis, MO, which was being leased to a Korean beauty supply store named King Beauty Store. The beauty supply store owners had not paid their monthly rent for at least one year and Ms. McClandon evicted them for nonpayment of rent. The Koreans had to vacate the property by May 7, 2015; therefore, Ms. McClandon decided to put another beauty supply store in the exact same spot and she renamed the store
Discount Queen Beauty. We wish Ms. McClandon much success and encourage our members who live in the St. Louis area to support her
Discount Queen Beauty supply store.

8 of the Worst Countries for
Black People to Travel
|
The Atlanta Black Star reports African Americans and other people of color who travel to other countries to work, go to school or to take vacations are being warned to take extra caution because statistics show the worst eight countries for Black people to travel are: Russia, Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy, Thailand, China, and South Korea. Many of these countries have adopted attitudes and biases similar to many whites in the Unites States against people of color because of their dark skin and these eight countries consider them as foreigners where they are often subjected to racial violence. Moreover, there is little protection or justice when violence is perpetrated against them. Click

Natural Hair Braiding Regulations
Law Abolished in Texas
|
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law, legislation that fully deregulates the practice of natural hair braiding and repeals the occupational license aspiring braiders were forced to obtain before earning an honest living braiding hair. State no longer to treat hair braiders like barbers, a final victory for Isis Brantley. This puts an end to nearly 20 years of conflict.
The effort to deregulate natural hair braiders follows a successful constitutional challenge by the Institute for Justice and Isis Brantley. The legal battle began in 1997 when seven government officials raided Brantley's business and hauled her off in handcuffs for braiding hair without a special government license. When the state of Texas began regulating hair braiders in 2007 it lumped natural hair braiders with barbers and cosmetology practitioners, requiring natural hair braiders to attend cosmetology school and complete a 35-hour course on hair braiding. This meant coming up with tuition and spending 2,250 hours in barber school and passing four exams.

THE GEM OF NATURAL HAIR CARE,
NATURAZ, THE STORY, THE JOURNEY
|
Philadelphia, PA - From the streets of cities across America to the shores of Africa, from the diversity of Latin America to Europe and every part of the world where the curly, coily haired woman lives, there is a natural hair care revolution that is sweeping our communities, committed to the cause of redefining, reinventing, and revitalizing black women's relationship with their tresses.
The stakes are high as Black ownership of black hair care brands is in sharp decline by volume while the natural hair revolution is gaining strength supported by savvy bloggers and vloggers, brilliant women entrepreneurs and bold naturalists who are seeking to reclaim the diversity, versatility and the beauty of natural hair in the Black community.
Mumbi Dunjwa was born in Nairobi, Kenya into a family of academics and she immigrated to the United States in the early 90s to pursue her college education. She is now Founder and CEO of Advent Business Group, a company that formulates, manufactures, distributes and retails Naturaz (www.naturaz.com), a line of natural hair care products in America and East Africa.
Ms. Dunjwa holds a Bachelors degree in Chemistry and Nuclear Medicine Technology and she earned a Masters of Information Systems Management degree from the world renowned Heinz school at Carnegie Mellon University.
She has more than a decade of experience in the pharmaceutical industry supporting research and development and her tenure at the second largest pharmaceutical company in the world taught her invaluable insights about business.
Mumbi has always done her thing. Even when natural hair was not fashionable, she wore her natural tresses. In the 90s, she would walk into salons with a big bush of hair and at times be turned away. She has worn her hair in twists, buns, Afros, sleeked back, afro puffs, finger combed, rod set, roller sets, blow dried, flat ironed and countless other hairstyles. When it comes to natural very coily hair, Mumbi is an expert. It's what she knows, it's been her life experience.
"I heat style probably once or twice a year but my hair always feels and looks flat. Even after a nice wash and curl, and loads of compliments, it doesn't take long before I miss my natural, coily, spongy, springy, woolly big hair!"
Mumbi struggled to find the right products or recipes to manage her easily tangled, long coily hair. It would take two hours or more to detangle and comb. Her hair was always dry and broke a lot. She researched hair and found the field lacking in research on natural curly, coily hair. She found that over 60% of women suffer from some type of hair loss or alopecia. In some parts of the world the numbers can be higher. She discovered that this issue unless genetically induced, can be avoided. "Black women need the right attitude, techniques and products to transform their relationship with hair. A paradigm shift is needed. A holistic approach. That is what Naturaz is about."
