At Ancestral Strands we have some safety protocols to adhere to, both the Clients and Braiders, in order to service you! We are a private salon suite and will only be taking one client/day! Bookings are opening up tomorrow at 12pm for the month of July! All safety Protocols will be added onto the website for all to view! We are preparing for the opening and look forward to seeing you all again! 🌱🌱🌱We’ve missed you! Oh and we’ll only be able to give you air hugs, unfortunately 😉! 🤗🤗🤗💚🌱

NYC- So It’s been about 3 months since shutting down but My hands still have been active! Although I’ve only been doing family members hair, I miss my clients! Everything is up in the air and unsure right now! They are saying during phase 2 of reopening, NYC salons can open back up! That will be By July! In the meantime I will be getting things in order at the shop as far as safety, disinfecting, and procedures to follow by me, my Braiders, and our clients!

Seems simple to just do what our bodies are meant to do naturally right? Well most of us aren’t breathing properly day to day due to stress, environmental triggers, the air quality, and respiratory issues! Then we have the sad series of events where our birth right to breathe is taken away b/c of heartless ppl and the color of our skin! Rest In Love We are stressing ya’ll but we must remain strong and healthy during this time! What are you doing to keep your spirits alive? If you are looking for something to ease your days, calm your mind, Improve your Mental Health, and assist your body with the proper healing techniques, Join me June 22 at 6pm! I will be conducting my first Online Breath Work Group Session called BLACK FOLK, BREATHE! We will not only go through breathing practices but we will dive into some history on how we’ve developed these anxieties that have given us health issues! Let’s support one another during this time! Join me! Link in bio! .

I’ve been Quiet for a while ya’ll but for reasons that many can relate to...all this mess we are in, has taken a toll on me! I’ve been in my shell trying to make sense of it! But In the midst of it all, WE STILL CREATE...WE ARE STILL BLACK...& WE STAND TOGETHER! ✊🏽 Take a look at this BLACKNESS I created for for her UK Body Hair Documentary a while back! It’s finally out and we can share!!! DM ME TO PURCHASE THIS BLACK ✊🏽 BRAIDED HEADPIECE! Read below

Little fun fact about my wonderful ‘Bring Back The Bush’ documentary many of you may have discovered me from: these are pics from a deleted scene we shot in Brooklyn. We filmed a time lapse of making this wonderful hairstyle on me as we spoke with about the history of how we went from using braiding techniques to conceal rice in our hair on the plantations, to mapping out escape routes using certain hairstyles, to us embracing our afros as a form of resistance, to the modern day implications of black women having their hair touched and why it was important for white people to destroy our identities through our hair as a means of controlling us. But the scene was deleted (along with every other pro-black thing I said throughout many other scenes) because it would have been way too powerful and black for a documentary about body hair. Which is ironic because black people are indigenous extensions of this earth and our hair, regardless of where it grows on our bodies, is absolutely divine. We also discussed how the aversion to body hair on women is rooted in transphobia and anti-blackness. But this was all too much for a documentary about body hair. I absolutely spoke up and said I am being censored but they didn’t want to include the black empowerment stuff. Nevertheless, it’s still a fu***ng amazing doc and I got my hairy p***y out on telly cause you WILL see this beautiful black body even if you won’t talk about all the reasons why it’s TRULY beautiful. Being black and working in media/entertainment is hard. You wouldn’t even know the half. And maybe one day I’ll talk about it more. But for now, let’s get into this BLACKNESS
