Blog Personalities & Val & Nadine

The diva, Brunsli always finds such interesting blog and lock related links and information.

And of course, I readily explore each of them. Here's one for all you die-hard bloggers - discover your blogging personality. It's quick and fun.

You'll find Blaqkofi's analysis below. Fairly accurate - what do you think? Even their clip art is black - now if she only had Sisterlocks...

Your Blogging Type Is Thoughtful and Considerate
You're a well liked, though underrated, blogger.
You have a heart of gold, and are likely to blog for a cause.
You're a peaceful blogger - no drama for you!
A good listener and friend, you tend to leave thoughtful comments for others.


Here's a another Brunsli find, Val & Nadine. A comic strip about sisters and our hair woes. You'll find all too familiar situations that will have you laughing out loud!

I was too thrilled when I discovered a comic strip by a sistuh, for sistuhs and about sistuhs. Now that is something awesome! We are such a creative people. Afterall, who better to write about and illustrate the lives of African Americans than another African American? Who can find the humor in fryin-dying-and-layin-to-da-side our hair better than someone who has come into awareness of self and our natural cultural beauty.

Major props and luv to the strips creator & writer, Diego2Memphis. Keep doing yo thang gurl, you have an ever growing audience.

In the meantime - stay focused, stay strong, stay natural!

Natural Sistuhs at Work

Allow me to introduce my two natural sistuhs from work. They are always so supportive of me and listen to my countless Sisterlocks stories. They even allowed me to take pics for my Blog.

Big props to my girl T who took the plunge and did the "Big Chop" last week. She'll be joining our Sisterlocks and blogger world soon. I had the pleasure of sharing books and countless conversations with T about our natural hair, she's read blogs and done her research and has reached the point that all Sisterlockers come to at some point - tired of the perms, beauty shops, braids, wasted time and money. You go, gurl! Yall show her some love and encouragement.

M, is this totally cool, eclectic, natural sister who always has her hair braided in some awesome style with a cool pin, flower or scarf. She is the "natural" pioneer in the office and always stands strong and proud. She gives me strength.

It takes self confidence and courage to remain true to our natural heritage, particularly among the "fried-died-layed-to-da-side-permed-weaved." I'm proud of these two natural sistuhs.

Stay strong, stay lifted, stay encouraged. Afterall, I always say, it's natural to be natural!
