SHEAMOISTURE’S ESSENCE FEST POP-UP | #sheadoesnola
Within this blog post, I’ll be sharing day two of my Essence Fest experience (see day one recap here). For day two SheaMoisture’s New Orleans pop-up shop was the place to be. The SheaMoisture team came down to NOLA to offer an experience like no other! From panels & networking to shopping & partying!

SHEAMOISTURE Panel: Body Positivity & Self Love
It was great to see the plus size community being represented at Essence Festival. SheaMoisture a predominantly hair company started the conversation on body positivity and self-love at Essence. SheaMoisture thought it was important to speak on these topics as they recognize that their customer base being majority African-American women were like most women in the U.S. are plus in size. They wanted to make these women feel included while at the Essence Festival. With 67%. of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 or above we are a force to be seen and heard!

SHEAMOISTURE Pop-UP Shopping Center
One thing almost all women love to do is shop. SheaMoisture all too happy to provide an excellent shopping experience. The bring all their lines out. From their latest hair care line featuring African Water Mint & Ginger Detox to the body care line SheaMoisture body. There was even something for the men. SheaMoisture brought out the men’s SheaMoisture Beard line.
They were lite bites and of course music. There were also stylists for men and women creating some really fun hairstyle and sharp cuts.

SHEAMOISTURE Q&A hosted by Kéla Walker with Davina Bennett
Kéla Walker and SheaMoisture brand ambassador Davina Bennett had a very engaging chat. Q&A focused on championing inclusive beauty. They touched on everything from hating your hair as a child to now loving it as an adult. Davina spoke about how she came into the spotlight by rocking her natural hair as a Miss Universe Contestant. She also talked about her passion for improving life for the children within the deaf community in Jamaica.

11 YEARS OF AFROBELLA | ORS CELEBRATES PATRICE YURSIK
“Your fans follow you for your voice. If it feels inauthentic to say, it will sound inauthentic for fans to hear.” _ Afrobella
.

I attended the ORS Olive Oil hosted Dinner Party celebrating The 11th Anniversary of the Godmother of Brown Beauty Blogging Patrice Grell Yursik better known as Afrobella. She said she started blogging to fill a void and to celebrate the inner and outer beauty of women all shades of beautiful. Her award-winning blog shines a loving light on natural hair and the wonderfully wide range of gorgeous skin tones and sizes women come in and has been featured in Essence, Ebony, and Glamour. In 2011 Afrobella partnered with MAC Cosmetics to create her own custom lipglass called “All Of My Purple Life,” part of the Bloggers’ Obsession collection. With all her continued success Patrice always displays humbleness and class. I’m personally lucky to know such a beautiful person. Many including myself look at her as blog goals. Congratulations on 11 years of doing what you love!!
The blogiversary dinner was simply beautiful. The #NoStereotypes themed dinner featured one-on-one conversation with Shawn Tollerson, CEO of Namaste Laboratories and Afrobella. They shared stories and experiences on black beauty. Afrobella spoke on how she uses her platform to defy stereotypes of beauty. As guests, we were encouraged to embrace who they are, their sense of style and self-expression and share it unapologetically with the world.
The event took place at Blanc Gallery Chicago in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood with dinner provided by Chef Cliff Rome of Rome’s Joy Catering. A special tribute performance to guests was provided by Gifted Keys and music by DJ MJTheBeautifulBeat! All with the “Farewell 44” artwork as a backdrop.
ORS continues to innovate new products for the versatile woman who is comfortable in her own skin and defines her own style through self-expression. At the dinner, ORS unveiled the ‘first look’ of their new refresh packaging and reformulated products which include Sheen Spray and its Edge Control. The new products will be available in stores like Walgreens, Target, and Sally Beauty in February/March of 2018.
Did you know ORS has a trademark on the term Edge Control?
