Issa Demo, Review and RANT y'all! I hope the good and the bad both come across! Curl Origin Review


I always try to stay balanced and fair but I feel like I lost it a bit in this one. I was frustrated by my recent product trials but bottom line I LOVED the leave in, the gel wassa no and the Deep Conditioner was good. I hope you enjoy and let me know if you tried these Curl Origin products! '



I'm linking a review of better days because I do love the Curl Origin brand lol.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT / TOXIC WORKPLACE ALLEGED AGAINST SHEA MOISTURE / ESSENCE CEO!

A lot has happened in the past week. Owner and now former CEO of Essence Magazine and Former Owner and current CEO of Shea Moisture, Richelieu Dennis has had allegations of sexual harassment and fostering a toxic workplace made against him by a group claiming to be employees of Essence Magazine. He has since stepped down as CEO of Essence but he remains the CEO of Shea Moisture.

While I primarily do natural hair product reviews (mostly black WOMAN owned companies) on my channel, it is also important to make sure that we are all aware of the news affecting our communities. Please be informed, especially if you still purchase from Shea Moisture.

Note that Richelieu Dennis is still the owner of Essence Ventures which includes Essence Magazine and the Essence Festival.
