The quarterly magazine, which was started by Editor-In-chief Selena Milby (pictured below, second from left), is described as “a magazine for all things fabulous in natural hair, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle”. Personally, I’m really excited about what this magazine has to offer.

Adrienne of Me, My Hair, the City, was also in the building.
I arrived right on time, because I’m prompt like that, LOL. There were complimentary bites and beverages from Vita Coco, X-RATED Fusion Liqueur and Coco Breve. And there were great giveaways.
Of course, as the event progressed, more and more natural women and men arrived.
