I took this picture a month ago on our normal bike ride enjoying the city. This is our every day route to and from each other’s homes. 💛
Seeing the protests continue day after day in the heart of our path is so empowering. I’m so grateful that this movement is spreading so radically.. and on social platforms so we can learn more and more. 🙏🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember talking to my therapist when I was 18 about how shocked I was while learning about the racial indifference right outside my front door. Growing up in Forsyth County (one of the most historically racist counties) made me so naive for 18 years.
I moved to Atlanta and learned so much that it was overwhelming at times. Thankfully my new, beautifully diverse, friends were able to teach me when I was wrong.. and love me anyways. 💛
I went to poetry readings weekly where I intentionally listened, and learned, what it means to truly be a black person in America. These amazing artists, and speakers, had me shocked at my own ignorance at times.
But thank god for the uncomfortable moments, the awkward conversations, and the beautiful black community for teaching me how to love people the right way. ❤️🙌🏽🥺

I’m so proud of this day and age where so many people are able to learn, and truly change their point of views on this important struggle we’ve never known.
IF THIS MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE - that is such a powerful thing. Take advantage. Change the way you look at this.. picture yourself in their shoes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I pray to continue learning day after day. I will always use my words and actions to uplift black lives in every way I can. 🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏾 I am humbled and in awe of the absolute strength black women, men, and children hold. @ CNN Center

This is an extremely old church in the outskirts of Barcelona... 🌞
We spent this day driving around century old vineyards in jeeps, eating all the tapas we could fit in our mouths, and stayed in awe of each new place and person that crossed our paths.. 🍷✨

This morning i’m thankful for the memories that have passed, the present we live in, and the future travels to come.. 🌿

* COVID-19 Update *

This pains me to say, but as expected, all businesses that aren’t mandatory will be shutting down for at least 2 weeks.

If you have an appointment booked between now and April 7th, please don’t come in - Salon Lofts is closed. * I will not be rescheduling anyone until I know for sure that we can go back after April 7th. *

Thank you for being patient and understanding during these times. The amazing support you all give my business motivates me every day to be better! We will persevere through this!!!

When people book the service “Curly Cut and Style” they learn SO much valuable information about their hair that they never knew. You might have ringlet curls like this.... but have no idea because you aren’t styling it properly! 💭👀 Invest in yourself, and the education about your hair✨
