  • 😍 💪🏽 If you are a mom or soon to be mom, concerned grandma, auntie or friend, check out our list of breastfeeding resources for Black women. 👉🏽 Link in bio. . . . 📷: @itsjeanine_ / @yeyo.photography ・・・ • 4 weeks ago I gave birth to this precious boy. Labor was hard, recovery feels harder, but nothing feels better than being his mother. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ •The strength and resilience it takes to love and care for a child teaches you a lot about yourself. Because of Justus, I’ve been able to release fear and doubt. I now know that I can do anything. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ • Happy 4 weeks, son 👩‍👦💙. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ • Thank you @yeyo.photography 📸 for the beautiful photos and opportunity. If you aren’t already, follow @blackmomsblog & @justusgrowingup! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ • #blackmomsblog #blackgirlmagic #melaninpoppin #blackmoms #melaninmom #blackmomsdobreastfeed #blackmomsbreastfeed #bmhw19 #blackmommagic #blackmamasmatter #blackmomsmatter #melaninmama #melaninmamas #naturalhairmom
  • Maternal health statistics show some pretty dramatic disparities based on race. The good news is that the work being done by @blackmamasmatter via Black Maternal Health Week and other initiatives year-round is a catalyst for change. #BMHW19 . Here are a few ways to help ensure that you get the care you deserve: 1️⃣ Ask questions. Come to your appointments with a short written list of questions for your provider. 2️⃣ Bring a friend. Have a friend or family member attend appointments with you for moral support. 3️⃣ Educate yourself. There is plenty of free information available online or at the library to learn more about health and nutrition. Be sure to always check your sources. 4️⃣ Seek out a culturally competent provider. If you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid to keep looking. 📷: @cornyjules / @iunderstan _________________ This image was a surprise from @iunderstan in 2015. After he took my maternity photos, he superimposed one of my photos with my sister's maternity photo by @cornyjules 5 years earlier. This is the closest we will get to being pregnant at the same time! ❤️😍

  • Another throwback from the #frofiles. Who remembers @nadiacturner from American Idol Season 4? We met with Nadia in New York for this shoot and not only was she friendly and down to earth but her fro was just as glorious as it looked on tv. Honestly, we didn't do a whole lot to it - why mess with perfection? #throwbackthursdays #frobackthursdays #nadiacturner
  • Be the Spring you wish to see in the world! This sister blesses my feed on the regular with fly style, genuine smiles and COLOR. 🌷🌺🌿☀️🌸 ________________________ 📷: @economyofstyle ・・・ Lightened up my layers, and turned up the color. It’s practically summer in STL right now, my friends. #colorblocking #liveincolor #stlblogger #colormixing #colorlover #creativevibes
  • I admit it - I'm an Afro junkie. With all the beautiful and intricate hairstyles we can do, the one I always come back to is the fro. I just love everything about them - the texture, the shape, the various sizes, and most of all how they defy gravity. This fro was featured in the Exavia issue of Naturally You! back in 2004. I'm loving the cowrie shells and choker necklace! 👊🏽 (I need an Afro pick emoji...) #throwbackthursday #frobackthursday
  • Hi! 👋🏽 I realized I never did an intro post on this page - read below for a little bit more about me. If you want to know more about my personal hair journey, check out the newly minted @naturallykaya. Oh, and Happy International Women's Day! ____________________ #Repost @naturallykaya ・・・ (3/3) Time for an introduction! I'm Kaya. I live in NJ, am married, and have a daughter. I've been natural since 1997, so this year will make 22 years! I have shaved my head three or four times in that time. I love researching natural hair care info, products and techniques and trying them out. I enjoy sharing what I've learned on my website (@naturallyyoumag). I'm also a total foodie and sit and read cookbooks for fun - but only the ones with pictures. I went to the forgotten campus of Rutgers - @runewark! I'm a web developer by trade and can really geek out over certain tech stuff. ____________________ I started this page because I keep reading that there is (still!) a lack of representation of kinky "type 4" hair. It's definitely true, so here (@naturallykaya) I will share snaps and more in depth info about my personal hair care routine than I do on my other account. ______________________ These pics show what my hair looks like three days after wash day. I took out my 14 jumbo twists (see previous post) and pulled my hair back with an @invisibobble hair ring. I brushed the edges with a damp brush, added some Bobby pins and was good to go!
  • I've been experimenting with a diy rhassoul clay cleanser for the past several weeks and I'm loving it. ___________________ Benefits: 1️⃣ It cleanses well without stripping 2️⃣ It detangles the hair 3️⃣ You know what you're rinsing over your whole head and body 4️⃣ It doesn't add to breakouts ___________________ Drawbacks: 1️⃣ You have to measure and mix it 2️⃣ If you store it in the fridge it's cold! 3️⃣ It splashes so can be messy 4️⃣ I think it may be clogging my drain... __________________ Overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives for me. I like to cleanse my hair with regular shampoo periodically, but for now this is my main go-to cleanser.
