Ájá, Happy 3 Years To You!

trE

It’s my three-year locs anniversary!

I went from a short, almost pixie-style haircut to just over shoulder-length locs in 3 years! Ájá is healthy, thick, and has a personality all on her own. She’s still doing her own thing, and I’m so happy with my hair! Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

Have you gotten your copy of Séduire: Serial Tales & Flash Fiction at Lulu in E-Book & Paperback versions, or Amazon in Paperback (only) yet?

I am on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing, as I discuss recent events related to my previous place of employment, including racism and discrimination, the growth I experienced after resigning from that company, and the foibles and overall experiences of life. I welcome your visit.

the time came to freshen up my locs, and
I am blessed by hands that wash and
weave magic into my hair.

Ájá’s growth momentarily stunts my beliefs–she is
captivating me at every turn; it’s hard to
digest she was born in December of 2022.

hair care is important to me–to my journey, and I
welcome every strand that twists, coils, and binds
to my head; together, we’re flourishing.
