EVENTS: ‘MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL’ TOUR FINALE
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
I was in Charlotte over the weekend for Procter and Gamble’s final stop for the ‘My Black is Beautiful’ tour. The tour stop attracted hundreds of women, treating them to a full day of complimentary beauty services and free performances. The event also included a small discussion (panel above) on beauty, self-esteem, finance and media topics within the black community.
My girl Tasha Smith hosted & moderated the event and there were performances by: Kindred The Family Soul, Chrisette Michelle and the talented Raheem Devaughn.
In related news, Tasha co-stars in ‘The Long Shots’ with Ice Cube and Kiki Palmer. The movie will be in theaters August 22nd, make sure you go and support.
Some of you may remember Kiri Davis, from her documentary ‘A Girl Like Me’. We posted about it numerous times.

YAY! i never thought i’d be happy somebody got their weave back but my girl Chrisette Michelle needed more hair-that short duck cut was not cute on her big and gorgeous face-she looks beautiful now…Tasha Smith in the house, who doesn’t love this woman?

I like hearing about stuff like this; encourages today’s youth (ME :D) to get involved. Hopefully I will one day when I get of age.

@ DAME (#2), I cosign. And the name of the tour is beautiful! Not “Black is Beautiful”, but “MY Black is Beautiful”. It recognizes the fact that there is more than one shade of black.
Kudos black people!

Somebody please tell me what was the point of Chrisette Michelle choppin’ off all her hair(and looked like a fool) to turn around and get a weave?
Must be a misunderstanding- Cuz I don’t understand!

Dang! I’m mad I missed it and I stay in Charlotte! I remember them talking about it when I was at the Music Festival, but couldn’t remember what wknd it was. Would’ve loved to have been there because of the artists. I like quality music and performances. Tasha is very pretty.
