My Big Fat Afro Meetup: Kinky/Curly Day Out - The Photos!

Yesterday's event was AMAZEBALLS. We had such an amazing turnout and I woud just like to say a massive, massive thank you to everybody who was able to make it (despite the rain!) and who helped make MBFA's first meetup a success. A special thank you to my partner in hair, Kate of Natural Curly Hair Care. Thank you so much for helping make this possible.
