Natural Hair Problems

brokeymcpoverty:

hey guys!  this is my  face.  looks pretty happy, right?  you can make it happier!  help me get to the inauguration in washington dc!!  there’s something in it for you too!

been worried about the security of your soul lately? did a little too much sinning this past summer? worried about where you fall on the eternal damnation/eternal salvation spectrum? let me help you out!

get into heaven by helping me get to the inauguration in dc in january!!

if you know anything about me at all, it’s very likely these two things:

1 - i am very much in love with.. *backspace backspace* ..a huge fan of President Barack Obama.
2 - im broke as a joke.

getting my little country butt out of kentucky and going to the inauguration in january would undoubtedly be the opportunity of my little country lifetime. but, you see number two on that list up there? that’s really hindering this whole process for me. those people up there are going absolutely ham with these hotel prices. HAM, I TELL YOU. HAM. as a starving, unemployed writer and low-budget burgeoning entrepreneur, i pretty much can’t make this happen without a little fellowshipping (it takes a village, right??).

but i reeeaaallly wanna go, and i’m trying my hardest to avoid having to sell an ovum or two.

so, if you have a penny or two in your pocket or pocketbook and could use some instant karma, or alternately, if you’ve read any of my writing/sites (like this or this or this or this or this or this or this) and like what i do and wanna send a little thanks, feel free to mosey on over to this chipin page and toss a little something in the collection plate. *anything* you’d like to contribute will help and be much appreciated.

jesus is watching, and once your contribution is made he’s totally gonna be like ‘oh, yeah. that’s such a me-like thing to do. where’s my grade book? you get extra credit, generous person!’

or if jesus isn’t your thing, you can bet your buddha that the universe is gonna be like ‘AWW YEAH! that’s what i like to see! let me send a little good karma fortune your way RIGHT NOW!!’

and if neither of those is your thing, you can rest assured that a little brown girl in kentucky is smiling and happy and swimming in renewed faith in the goodness and kindness of strangers.

i appreciate you just for reading. :-)

THANK YOU!!!

hello, you gorgeous kinky curly awesome people!

so, this isn’t hair related, but im trying to raise some money to get to the inauguration in dc, so i started a little chipin fund (that’s me in the picture—i didn’t perm it, just flat ironed it, lol).  no one has to donate, of course, but if you’d like to, id be ever grateful!

and who knows, dc followers—maybe we can meet up, have a drank, and talk hair in real-time!  :-D

thanks!  now back to your regularly scheduled natural hair problems!
