From the back in the day hot comb to the Natural hairstyles of 2024, is what I experienced during the talks of Afros n Cornrows. I smiled, smothered my, tried to, my laughing out loud and wiped the tears from my face. I totally enjoyed the program. I attended alone but felt like I wasn't alone. This was a shared experience.
