I'm an independent thinker, a free spirit, and believe that the universe rewards us when we say yes and swing hard at the slow balls. I've just published my debut, an autobiographical coming-of-age book titled Silicon Valley Girl: My Adolescent Life and Times, and an Ode to Generation X.

So this was a really good show. Like, his music is amazing & he brought his personality and had lots of jokes and interesting stories. It was a very intimate set, and we, the audience, were in total grooveallegiance, one nation under a groove, singing along to every song. Powerful stuff, plus he’s easy on the eyes. Seriously, I’ve been a huge @vanhunt fan since I first saw him play in ATL back in the day—I would go to all his shows—so this felt like a homecoming. ‘Tis my kind of music. #vanhunt #original #trim #vinyl #atlanta #livemusic #neosoul #rocknroll #funk #pop #punk #prince #slyandthefamilystone #pfunk
A whole bunch of selfies. Also, the older I get, the more I look like a Latina. #selfie #atlanta #hats

So my mother put me on to this hole in the wall beauty salon in the back of Angie’s Beauty Supply in Stone Mountain , GA . The owner’s name is Tobias . Monique is my stylist — she does my braids and crochet locs , etc . My mother has a different stylist who braids her natural hair ( I forget her name ) , and my sister Carla has also gone here to have her hair done . Anyway , I mentioned that my cousin is Willie Morrow , and I think I mentioned the comb he designed . Some weeks later , I went in to see my stylist to get my hair braided and was SHOCKED to see THIS COMB on the stylist station next to Monique’s . I freaked out ! ! ! I was like OMG we had a WHOLE BAG of these when I was a kid ! It turns out Tobias researched the comb , found it on the internet , and purchased a shipment of Morrow combs . Who all remembers Willie Morrow’s signature comb ? I know we definitely got them following the 1981 Morrow Family Reunion in San Diego .♥️ @hair_hands @tobiasthehairslayer #williemorrow #morrows #naturalhair #afros #afropick #morrowcomb #alabama #california #atlanta #sherocks #sherockshair #stonemountain #africa #sandiego #qualityhaircare #weaves #wigs #braids #crochetlocs #crochetfauxlocs #californiacurl #beautysupply #hairsalon #family #familyfirst #sandiego #entrepreneurs #afropick #angiesbeautysupplystonemountain #400yearswithoutacomb
