I was recently contacted by Chris-Tia E. Donaldson, author of the new natural hair guide Thank God I'm Natural: The Ultimate Guide to Caring for and Maintaining Natural Hair. Here's a little bit about the author in her own words:
Chris-Tia Donaldson is a Harvard graduate with a true passion for hair. By day, Chris-Tia is a successful lawyer for a software company. By night, she is a freelance writer and entrepreneur looking to launch her own product line for naturally kinky tresses. For this revolutionary book, Chris-Tia has interviewed hundreds of women -- from all walks of life -- about everything from the epidemic of hair loss in the black community to the historical effects of slavery on black women and their hair care practices.
Sounds interesting right? Keep reading for more info about the book itself:

I am excited to announce that I received a signed copy of the book which I will be reviewing here in the coming days. I received the book a few days ago in the mail and so far I am very impressed! The cover detail is lovely in black and white and the pics look great. Just from flipping through, I can already tell there is a ton of info and resources for any woman considering going natural. I can't wait to dive in deeper and let you in on what I find. So stay tuned!
looking forward to the review
ReplyDeleteIt awesome you got a signed copy of the book, awaiting your reviews. In the mean time I will check out her website for more info.....Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI know! I was so excited to receive it in the mail and I can't wait to dig in deep!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good read. I am still straddling the fence about going natural. It seems to be so liberating. Sometimes it seems like straightening my hair takes up too much of my time, money and energy.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the review also! I may just have to visit my local bookstore this weekend! :)..in the meantime I will have to check out her website.. Hope that you are having a positive week NL! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat! This week flew by but it has gone well. Hope yours has too!
ReplyDelete@Black Girls Run!- What is keeping you on the fence? I can imagine with constant sweating, worrying about straight hair can get difficult. But each woman has to make her decision in her own time. Good luck no matter which way you choose!
