The owner of the black owned company I follow, The Crayon Case, has spoken extensively about why she prefers to sell her brand online only.  Basically it amounts to losing money on bulk inventory sells vs the cost they sell the product for in the store.

I don’t watch hair styling diy videos, but is this considered a good instruction video?? You can’t see anything she is doing because she wants her face to be in the camera instead of the back of her head and her verbal descriptions of what she is doing seem extremely unhelpful to me. Dunno. Minor quibble, beyond the…

I really enjoy reading these dispatches, yet at the same feel lost in the maze of brands, labels etc. I need to have a talk with my soul mate or simply pay closer attention to her makeup routines. lol

i truly admire your dedication! especially w/the weather chicago has been having. i’m perched and will be looking forward to the rest of the updates. 

You look fabulous though!

They hashtagged her as her former name. They knew who she was. 

I will support them. The banjo originated in Mali and ‘country music’ began during slavery with the ‘hoe downs’. Officially, country music began as part of the entertainment industry in 1923 with a Black musician/singer, Deford Bailey, who is not spoken of by the whites who took over the genre with the advent of the…

Not to mention that it’s simply irresponsible for a haircare brand to promote self-induced alopecia out here in these streets.

It’s a sad statement about how society gaslights women that someone could look in the mirror at that face and not see beauty.

It’s a joy to watch her work. Hope to see a lot more in the future.

I mean, I guess it’s better that he be upfront about it, but...

😂😂😂😂 you wouldn’t know what actual racism feels like. You have NEVER been systematically oppressed. If a blog calling white people on their shit gets you all in your feels I got news for you. Take your triggered snowflake ass back to stormfront where it belongs.

All I read when you type is "you didn't include my oatmeal-colored ass, that's RACIST"

Go troll a white site then your comment will make sense. Of course a Black blog will report on Black news. That's not racist, it's being informative. Do you call Black specific news shows or newspapers racist? If you do, then you don't know American history. 

Isn’t it sad that white people aren’t interesting enough to troll their own stuff? Instead, they look for other target specific sites to whine, name call and cry white privilege tears. They haven't figured out yet that we don't give AF what they think or how they feel when we are providing information and lifting…

I work at a grocery co-op in the wellness department and as POC, I am ashamed and embarrassed at the lack of hair care products we have for anyone who isn’t white. We’ve been called racist before for our lack of inclusive products and it is so true.
 I have been begging for months and months to get new things in. We…

Absolutemente’. Also, why I love The Glow Up. Sometimes it is the only bright spot! (& much needed, for that.)

I choked up too.

Just reading this made me exhausted 

It’s one of my favorite things.
