The Kinky Collaborative is a group for all women interested in natural hair, transitioning from relaxed to natural hair, or even thinking about going natural. We have meetups in different cities, and are interested in networking with natural hair lovers.

Nothing about natural hair is new! There has always been ladies who choose to wear their hair in it's natural state. Many of those ladies were under the age of eight, or adults looked at as being different. Now a days, more and more African American women are leaving chemicals behind, and are on a journey back to natural. Some in society view this change of phenomenal numbers as temporary, they believe in a few months or years we will all revisit chemicals. These individuals are going to be deva …

Most of us agree that most people, in this day and age, are under a toxic load.  We are constantly exposed to environmental toxins not only in industrial chemical exposures, but in our every day life including our food, laundry detergent, hair care products, etc but in the air we breath, the water we drink and the beds we lay in. The cost of these toxins is not completely understood nor should it be underestimated!  Toxins have the capacity to rewire us - to change our thoughts, behaviors and de …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …
