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.

I WISH IT HELD DOWN IN MIAMI.

Tasha’s cool!
Kindred the Family of Soul perfomed huh? They are so dope…too bad I missed them. I still bump “Far away from here” now. Wonder what they have coming up.
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?
Tasha Smith is my future wife! She has it goin on, for real. Love that chick…
I like hearing about stuff like this; encourages today’s youth (ME
) to get involved. Hopefully I will one day when I get of age.
They need to come to Pittsburgh and it looks like everybody had a good time.
@ 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!
Luv u Raheem…. You been playin me on the Kyte TV footage. Stay on ur grind.
Chrisette and Tasha look great.
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!
Glad she got some hair back cause she looked like a chipmunk
Let me find out Angel jetsetting! lol
Very positive and enlightenong for our race I hope it turns out very successful and stops here in cleveland ohio
I was there… I had an Awesome time. I think that more of US should have been there!

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.
My black is beautiful, da darker da berry da sweeter da juice.
P&G is turning the heat up on Unilever. They better get it together!
