Curly Nikki Motions Chicago Meetup

Curly Nikki Motions Chicago Meetup

Lifestyle, The KG Theory
After seeing headlines read " Curly Nikki Goes (insert city)" or "Curly Nikki Takes (insert town)" forever I finally got notice that Chicago was next. As a current Detroit resident I travel to Chicago fairly often so reading "Chicago" didn't phase me. I knew I had to be there for the fun. And it was FUN! With lots of beautiful women sporting natural hairstyles and chic ensembles to match! I love being in the presence of positive women with a common interest. I also reunited with my big sister Michelle Breyer (Co-Founder of NaturallyCurly.com) at the event! Celebrity Hairstylist Ursula Stephens , Michelle Breyer and Curly Nikki Celebrity Hairstylist Ursula Stephens explains the products and techniques she used on each model's hair. Curly girls look on... Downstairs Japonais Restaurant created a chic, elegant atmosphere. Happy curly girls with their free products! Motions…

WHY I Vlog: The KG Lifestyle

Lifestyle, The KG Theory
So a couple of weeks ago I was twittering (I'm full aware that it's "tweeting", I just like the way twittering sounds better, lol) one of my favorite vloggers Judy from itsJudysLife. Judy and I have twittered back and forth a couple of times previously (which helps me validate how much time I spend on her channel), so I didn't think anything of it. This tweet was just a spur of the moment thought about vlogging and how I think it's a great way to learn things about everyday life (not the "reality" we're sold on TV). To my surprise Judy replied! *GASP* Something clicked for me. I've been vlogging this past summer with "plans" to edit the hours of footage I took and converted and uploaded. LOL! Never did post…

Black Girls Code: Knowledge is POWER!

Black Girls Code: Knowledge is POWER!

Lifestyle, The KG Theory
A week or so ago Black Girls Code came to Detroit! I was so excited because after hearing about this AWESOME organization on Twitter I was looking for opportunities to get involved. They strive to reach girls who would not otherwise get access to this type of knowledge or opportunity: "BlackGirlsCode has set out to prove to the world that girls of every color have the skills to become the programmers of tomorrow. By promoting classes and programs we hope to grow the number of women of color working in technology and give underprivileged girls a chance to become the masters of their technological worlds." - Black Girls Code After completing the volunteer application I was set to help as a non-technical volunteer.  I attended  the volunteer training the night before the program day where we packed the registration…

Fashion Week: Beautiful Textures Winner!!!!

Lifestyle, The KG Theory
"AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" That is exactly what I thought when I was received news that I won the Fashion Week Adventure Contest. Beyonce's 'Party' started playing in my head cuz I knew that's what this will be. A PARTY! I can't wait to represent Beautiful Textures at Fashion Week in New York. This is such an awesome opportunity and I plan to make the most of it. I would also just like to commend Beautiful Textures and their team on running a clean cut, fair and honest competition. The rules were not only clearly spelled out beforehand, but they were followed to a tee. I was among AWESOME women as a finalist and I know that it was difficult to pick a winner! THANK YOU! Peace & Blessings, Kala  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=s_yHAkmEHSs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIW1GAnAuyU

Only For a Deserving King

Lifestyle, The KG Theory
When I heard about the Esperanza Spalding concert a couple of weeks ago here in Ann Arbor, MI I knew I would be in the house. There was no question. The show was amazing and there were many new songs from  "Radio Music Society" that I hadn't heard yet. One in particular: "Crowned & Kissed" left a lasting impression on me. When you hear a song that peaks your interest so much so that you want to hear it again and again....you buy the CD. I was torn about which CD to get, until I saw that Crowned & Kissed was on her latest. I got through the first two songs easily.....I loved them but wanted to get to the rest of the CD. I was stopped in my tracks (pun intended)…

Poems that Inspire Me

Lifestyle, The KG Theory
It's funny. How fast people can spread the news about the latest brawl on Vh1's Basketball Wives or Love & Hip Hop. Then it perplexes me how easy it is to be ashamed of our own faith. The very basis that we choose to live by isn't worthy of announcement or conversation? And I'm speaking from experience, no judgement here. There are days when I have to push myself back into a "faith place". When I doubt, myself and my God I have to remind myself of who He is. I force myself to return to that place where I realize there is no room for doubt, and puuuuush forward. I've included two poems that I enjoyed. Hope that they serve to inspire you to keep the faith or even acknowledge your faith. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IyXSFnZijSs…
