Back in December 2014 while swiping through Instagram I stumbled upon Neo the owner of African Lace. I was amazed at the beauty and quality of her leather goods and couldn't believe she was right here in Botswana. I jumped at the chance to interview her and spread the word about her work.

I found out from her that … [Read more...]

Women who Inspire!
When I started blogging last year I created a post series called "TravelingNatural"after my moniker.

I started by interviewing friends and family then asked some natural hair YouTube gurus not even thinking they would say yes! That series was very fun to do and it … [Read more...]
