Braids made their debut on TV. Braids are professional. That’s it, that’s the tweet. Thanks for the people who encouraged me to do this, especially my black tv sisters 🤎
Life Update: My time in Providence has come to an end! I know most of you haven’t seen me on the weekends in a while & I’m so sorry we never got our proper goodbye! What I can say is that Providence will forever hold a special place in my heart, but the best is yet to come 🤍
Even at work I have to represent the illustrious Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. For those who aren’t familiar AKA is a sorority that has been serving the world for 112 years! Our goal? To be of service to ALL mankind. Happy Founders Day Sorors 💕💚
