Who else has found liberation through wearing there natural hair at work? Curly fros most definitely makes us stand out amongst the crowd. It most definitely comes with the territory.

It took me a while to learn how to do my natural hair mainly because I grew up wearing protective styles or straight hair. Now I’m more natural and love being comfortable just being me.

I am 100% more confident and focused on delivering in my executive leadership role, it’s my own unique look, and I am honored to be an example for other black women

Yess! ✨✨✨There’s something about our crown that just makes everything about us even more unique!

I transitioned to locks and I love it because I really feel different from everyone else and comfortable in my own skin not worried about people looking at my lace or trying to evaluate if that’s a weave or not… hands-down best decision

I most definitely can relate! I tried lace before and all I could think about was lace all day 😆…I know I see it…then you must see it too! LOL

I like both curly and straight as an option after pivoting from relaxers to a safe keratin treatment. I didn’t think I’d ever be able to do my hair quickly (straighten or wash-and-go) after committing to not relax. What’s liberating for me is having treatments and product options which will not send me to an early grave and that only take 30-45 mins from wash to style.

I can straighten or wash-twist-diffuse-and-go in 45mins or less and sweat/rain when straight isn’t an issue

It is extremely liberating to be able to wear MY hair how I want it!! I truly enjoy being able to wear my hair in many different dread styles and colors (hiding those grays for now).

I agree!✨

I've gotten a lot of time back and I feel like my hair is healthier by caring less about it looks and doing mostly natural no-heat styles.

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with. Thoughts?

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
