N.I.C.E. At the University of Miami: A Gathering of Intellectual Naturalistas!

Last evening, on an historic night in which President Obama was re-elected for a second term as President of the United States, a second exciting event also took place, as we kept our eyes on the preliminary results of the election night results streaming in the background. Natural Is Cool Enough had its first session at the University of Miami to discuss our natural hair! A lively and in-depth discussion took place about whether we think natural hair is a reflection of a level of consciousness or just a style, what we do with our hair after washing it and it is in its natural state and whether we know what to do with it, whether we are concerned that natural hair is not perceived as professional enough and what professional means to us.  We also shared our natural hair stories.  Our next meeting will be in January 2013, as we will begin our new year, naturally.  Definitely, Natural is Cool Enough at the University of Miami is off to a good start and there will be more new exciting ventures including guest speakers, natural hair product reviews, style tips, the politics of natural hair and beyond!
