I enjoy all things nature! I love to read about birds, hiking adventures, animals, beautiful places, etc. I decided to form a group for young women (20's and 30's) nature lovers in the city to come together once a month and discuss a nature book and their interest. In the summer we will discuss the books outside in some of the amazing green places throughout the city.  

Meet with other local black women and men who choose to wear their hair natural. Gather to commune and support one another in your quest for chemical-free hair! Discuss hair care, maintenance, and the politics of having natural hair.
