Hello everyone,
Here is just another long overdue blogpost that has been sitting in draft for God knows how long! smh! Anyways here is it now.
On the 28th of December last year, Twists n Locs Salon in collaboration with the The Body Butter Company, organized a programme dubbed "The Natural Bazaar" at the W.E. DuBois Memorial Centre in Cantoments. This was a programme showcasing vendors of natural hair and body products and made in Ghana goods. It started around 2pm and unfortunately i missed all that part and got there around 6. Very late! The programme was to have a second part which was the natural hair meetup but unfortunately it didn't come off as no one stayed for it. I was to have given a talk during one of the sessions on my experience as a naturalista so far. I was disappointed it didnt come off as i had been looking forward to this since the organizers contacted me in the UK. Anyways since i was late i could not fully capture the stands outside as they were packing but managed to catch a few indoors.
Please do well to enjoy the pics of the few vendors i could capture. Also feel free to ask me any questions concerning them.

Anyways, i wish to congratulate the organizers for organizing the programme and we hope next time the event would be bigger and better. I must say that i hope a better venue is selected as the DuBois centre was kind of difficult to locate as there was no directional signs leading to the place. Overall, i enjoyed the networking and meeting for the first time the Ghanaian Emprezz team and others. Hope to have a meetup soon, so be on the lookout for that!
Untill next time,
xoxo, Annette
