Namaste Potential Sponsors: My Name is Tami Charles, the President of Dudley Products Louisville. We are seeking your support and sponsorship for our upcoming community event and professional educational seminar on Natural Hair. The free community event will be held Sunday August 26,2012 at the Millers Lane Flea Market and the Education Seminar will be held at the Wayside Mission’s Hotel Louisville on Monday August 27, 2012. A generous portion of the proceeds will go to support The Fighting Chance of Louisville, a local nonprofit that is dedicated to empowering youth via the following; community service, academic tutoring, college test prep, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles and choices. Meeting The Needs of The Community Dudley Products is a African American owned business that was founded in 1967 by Joe L. Dudley Sr. and Eunice Mosley Dudley. At its inception, Dudley products built a quality product specifically designed for hair of African descent. This task meant that all things that were culturally and genetically typical had to be taken into account for excellence. Hypertension, obesity, diabetes, alcoholism and street drugs is prevalent among Americans of African descent. This statement is as true today, as it was in 1967, when the Dudley’s created products that included essential oils and botanicals to provide quality hair care for the community. The Dudley’s had a quality product made with natural ingredients to meet the need of the community Subsequently, they moved to building entrepreneurs and responding to the call of economic development in the community. Natural Hair encompasses a movement of the community to embrace not only ethnicity but an awareness that our lifestyles determine, ultimately, the HEALTH of our hair. The beauty industry imparts a confidence and common ground for mankind, like no other industry. The industry unites people from all walks of life and our licensed professionals are truly in service to all. Dudley’s education for the community and professionals extends from infants to elderly. This education reminds them that our hair is an extension of our skin and our skin is the immediate reflection of spirituality, personal interactions, eating habits and water consumption. It also reminds the community that going natural and being natural is a process that requires a partnership with a licensed professional. Who is Dudley Products Louisville ? Dudley Products Louisville, a subsidiary of Dudley Beauty Corp. LLC, is an Independent Dudley Distributor that serves the state of Kentucky. Dudley Products Louisville, whose motto states…Ask, Believe, Receive, was created in response to a local market niche that had become void of providing quality health and beauty products and business education to a growing segment of professional cosmetologists and barbers.
