EDITORS COMMENT’S I
t sometimes takes those sunny days, glorious evenings life and experiences over the past year. What’s changed, what have I learned? On the surface it may seem that nothing much has changed or look more closely on my experiences there is a lesson in there somewhere, one that either says … that was a good move, continue! …. Or another that says … big mistake, don’t go there again! …. Either way, I’ve learned a lesson which I should act on!!
I love quotes; I often feel I can relate to them so I thought I’d share a few of my favourites … “Don’t look back. You’re not going that way.” “Memories takes us back, dreams takes us forward” “You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one” “Faith is moving forward even when things don’t make sense, trusting that in hindsight …. everything will become clear” “the Past is your lesson, the Present is your gift and the Future is your motivation.” “the only time you should ever look back, is to see how far you’ve come.” “life is like photography, we develop from the negatives” And my overall favourite is by “Martin Luther King Jnr.”
If you can’t run then walk. If you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
As the evening’s get darker, earlier, you know that autumn is setting in. over the summer of 2015. For me one of the highlights was African Fashion Weekend London, along with meeting young gifted academic achievers; who are, our future generation moving forward in a positive way. In this edition we share a couple of academic accomplishment, however this is minuscule, to the amount of parent’s I have spoken with who’s children have gained really good grades in their A levels, and now entering into University. The way forward for Conscious Vibes next year is to host a Natural Hair Pageant, as well as our annual Expo, scheduled to be held on the 3rd April 2016. The expo will take place at our resident venue, Westminisiter College. Instead of hosting a fashion show at the expo this year, we will be holding the London heats of the pageant on the day. In the here and now, The future is bright, despite the changes of seasons and SAD sets in for some. I intend to continue embrace and honour each day, with a touch of bright bold African print to my dress code bringing sunshine to my days, as well as rocking my versatile natural hairstyles. Enjoy this edition of Conscious vibes, and I will leave you with a quote from Maya Angelou
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. Angela (Editor at Large)

NATURAL HAIR SALON
I
recently re-connected with the lovely Fenella, at a hair event, and I was really pleased to learn that she has now opened a Natural Hair done. This was music to my ears.
out more about Jus U Hair Boutique Jus U, is an interesting name for a salon, can you share how you came up with the name, and what this means to you? I started my sister loc journey back in 2007. This opened my eyes to a whole new world of natural beauty and wholeness as a woman. This was so profound that I felt compelled to introduce and provide this experience to others, which led me to train and undertake this service professionally. Being a hair stylist wearing and catering to relaxers and weaves, being Loc’ed gave me a sense of uniqueness, empowerment and a necessary consciousness. I recognised we as black women don’t create time for “the self “ and are continuously doing for others. At one time 90% of the women I know, including myself, didn’t factor in yearly holidays, spas, treatments etc. It simply wasn’t on our agenda. We were more focused on providing for the home, feeding
In reality the only time we do have for “self” is when we sit to have our hair done, often under duress, which you can appreciate can take many hours. I realized not only the need to share my passion but the way I wanted to do so. A way that caters to the individual’s aesthetic needs and ultimate comfort. At “Jus U” we focus on the holistic needs of the clients; mind, body and soul. Our aim is to deliver the ultimate “exhale” hair dressing experience. Our consultants are not only fully trained but have had to participate in counseling awareness training to deliver an exemplary service to our clients. Offering quality advice and expertise
“Jus U” focuses on JUST YOU! I notice that you have Sister locks and I am aware that Sister Locks takes at least two days to start, is in London?
offer sister locks by a trained consultant. Once trained, technicians tend to work from home, as this provides the privacy and comfort required for such a lengthy process. I began my own professional journey as a technician in this way. This however, a number of clients have expressed a desire for neutral grounds. On the other hand, others prefer the homely one to one environment. This was my inspiration to create an environment, which struck that balance. A friendly, soothing and homely environment with a team we have come to consider family. This is immediately evident on entry as recommended!” Now we are able to accommodate the rapidly growing interest and demand for this hair revolution.

Your garden at the back of the salon is awesome; please share with our readers how your garden ties into the services you offer here at Jus U. Our garden is vital to our operation. We grow and use our own plants for treatments. We produce aloe vera, lavender, stinging nettle and homemade natural oils such as grapeseed, jojoba, argan, advocado, black seed, tea tree, moringa and many more. My vision was to create the purest form of natural products in the healthiest way possible. Each treatment is custom made, tailored to the result is always the same…hair that is hydrated,
Does this salon work with extensions or processed hair? When opening a friend of mine asked “How can you have a natural hair salon that does weaves and extensions, doesn’t it defeat the object?” I explained that everyone transitions in their own way, be it sister locks, traditional locks, weaves, extensions or even wigs. Our fundamental aim is to encourage healthy growth. How the client choses to maintain or style their hair is their choice. We just ensure we give sound advice based on training, experience, number of clients with processed hair asking for research into the best products and hair care system. With our knowledge we are able to cater for this

What would you say is Jus U’s, unique selling point? The concept of tailoring our treatments according Products on the market tend to be generic, pretty much a one for all concept. “Jus U” acknowledges all our clients are unique individuals with different needs. During our consultations we take an holistic approach looking into not only the condition of your hair but taking into account day to day lives such as medication, menopause, stress and environmental factors.

ANGELA SMALL SHARES WHY A NATURAL HAIR PAGEANT
I
n line with the Conscious Vibes mission to elevate true self, I believe that it is one of my mission’s in life to try and elevate natural beauty in any way possible. For far too many years, magazines, television and billboards have bombarded us daily with messages of what beauty should look like. Popular media thus far has only presented images of beauty for women of colour as women with processed hair. To me this is tragic, as this is not how we were created. I know that when I gave birth to my son and daughter initially their hair was straight, but within weeks their hair texture changed to curly, kinky ringlets and not reverted back throughout the years without the use of chemicals. Mixed nationality or African/Caribbean, natural hair texture is determined by genetics, and by my
the launch of this ground breaking pageant. Judith Jacobs will also be one of the compares at the expo along with Livingston Gilchrist, a former male model, who rocks his locs at the various events he assist or works at. The main aim of this event is to generate positive dialogues and images for both young and mature people in the UK elevating the beauty of natural hair. We wish to create a more diverse culture where it is acceptable to wear your hair natural and be acknowledged as beautiful. Through these efforts, we hope to see more adverts with women of colour rocking their natural hair. We want to see more artists, actresses, politicians, and models in the media hitting the red carpet, television, or the corporate world with their natural tresses.
extensions, or weaves to it. One of the many reasons for hosting this pageant is to offer women of colour another acceptable vision of beauty, both to us and other races. Too many corporations seem to make fortunes from manufacturing products for us to purchase, while paying for the messages that tells us to do so. When thinking of what females from the UK I could have as an ambassador for this event, I struggled to think of women in the media with natural hair. Sadly, I could count the number on one hand. Two lovers, rock singers Janet Kay, Carol Thompson, (who
In 2014, Lupita Nyong was voted the “The Most Beautiful” by People magazine and “Woman of the Year” by Glamour magazine. She rocks her natural hair with pride, and is a true role model for women of colour-but one of few. We need more high in the UK, not just a handful.
I attend many public events and I am pleased to see more women embracing their natural hair in a variety of styles and colours. This pageant is one way of acknowledging the conscious changes that women of colour are making with their hair choices. Instructor, (traditional locs) Dawn Butler, newly It offers locticians a platform to elevate and showcase elected Brent Central Labour MP (Micro Locs) and the great and unique hairstyles that they create with locs. Natural hair salon owners can offer an array of natural hairstyles, tips, and seminars on how to care Black Women with Natural Hair in the media, and for natural hair. So many times I have heard people I was granted an array of images from women in the say that natural hair is too hard to take care of, but USA, including actress Lupita Nyong’o, who starred my parents always said “anything worth having in 12 Years a Slave, and received an Oscar in 2013, as never came easy.” Therefore we need to start forming a relationship with our hair, and stop looking for an easy option. Fortunately for us this pageant is being supported by some of the amazing people previously mentioned. This event is much more than a pageant, it is a united Commons with her signature Micro Locs, has kindly its rightful space in the fashion and beauty industry. offered us a room in the House of Commons to host Sept 2015

A Sizzling Cultural Affair by Angela Small (Editor at Large)
I
am delighted that I attended the fourth annual AFWL; this year by far, was the best experience for me. The sun was shining, the atmosphere was great, and all the attendees stepped out in their vibrant African clothing adding a colourful scenery and splendour to the day; for me, this was just as good as watching the fashion show. Men and women of different cultures and sizes enhanced the various clothing designs created from African fabrics. Being a curvaceous woman myself, I was pleased to see that the stalls also offered a vast range of clothing sizes for consumers to purchase. It was refreshing to see so many vendors accepting the obvious truth that the average sized woman in Britain is no longer size 6 to 10. Unfortunately, this information was not present on the runway of AFWL. However, this was the only disappointing part of the day for me. My spirits soon lifted when I saw the designers come out at the end of their showcase. A few of them rocking me hope that there were more pieces in their collections I could also wear and enjoy. Breaking away from the traditional colourful African prints, two designers captured my attention. Offering an alternative Gambian Ndeyfatou Ceesay, she states her designs “are inspired by style and not culture”. On the catwalk, she showcased single coloured, stylish dresses featuring an array of sequins and a variety of different threads sewn into each garment. I was able to link up with Ndeyfatou after her debut and she shared that for her “it’s all about the detail, ensuring that the embroidery to each garment is unique.” The Tangerine collection was sensational, I loved the vibrant warm colours that were creatively combined. The collection offered timeless, simple, and elegant pieces. More importantly for me, the designer a curvy woman came out wearing one of purchase one of her creations for myself.

KAISHA ESTY
A Doctor in Making
D
uring this summer, my friend Judith shared with us that her daughter Kaisha was well on her way to becoming a doctor after passing her exams in America. I was really pleased for Kaisha and her family and felt that it was important that I shared this achievement, with our readers. Unfortunately our younger generation accomplishments don’t make news, however her determination and drive is an inspiration for all. I attended Kaisha’s farewell barbecue before she ventured back to America, and conducted our interview on one of the rare glorious sunny Sundays, with her family and close friends.
I have a BA (with Honours awarded in the First-class) and an M. Res. (Master of Research) in American Studies from the University of Nottingham, UK. Since 2012, I’ve been working on a Ph.D. in African American and Women’s and Gender History at Rutgers University in the United States. A full-time History doctoral program in the US normally entails two years of my fourth year having successfully progressed through the coursework and exam stages! How did you decide what area you wanted to study? Like many historians, my own sense of cultural and political identity combined with a commitment to social justice played a key role in guiding me towards the historical subjects that I felt that I understood, and whose stories I wanted to tell. Of course, me the importance of deconstructing and challenging mainstream narratives. I had always viewed black American history within the frame of histories of the black diaspora, so I feel very much at “home” with a lot of my research. In fact, it was while inspired me to pursue a career in academia.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVERS How many years have you been studying and what countries/ states have you travelled to, to achieve your goals? My close friends often joke that I “never plan to leave school.” This seems to become truer by the day! I attended Nottingham University as an undergrad from 2007 until 2011, and as a Masters student from 2011 to 2012. During my undergrad I was fortunate to spend a year abroad at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (US) from 2009 to 2010. Studying abroad was such a pivotal experience for me, both personally and intellectually. Every chance that I got, be it during a long weekend or during a school holiday, I travelled to various parts of the US. I spent my birthday in Las Vegas, Thanksgiving in Seattle, Christmas in New Orleans and New Years Eve in New York City. For Spring Break my friend Rachel and I joined a group of budding young activists and embarked on a ‘Civil Rights Pilgrimage’ throughout the US South. It was an amazing week that yielded friendships that remain today. At the end of the school year I did more travelling. I was accepted into the highly competitive Gilder Lehrman Summer History Scholars program in New York City as a weeklong fellow. But that wasn’t until later in the summer. Having about 6 weeks to spare, I decided to travel alone from Rhode Island down along the Northeast to Washington D.C. before returning to New York. I used this opportunity to visit different universities and meet with professors to discuss my research interests as well as their school’s doctoral programs. This preparation
the prospect of moving and she said to me, “Well, I was around your age when I left my home in Jamaica and moved here (UK). If I didn’t make that decision, you wouldn’t be here.” Those words, in addition to the endless support from my family and friends makes leaving the UK after every time I visit a little bit easier. They share in what I do, we communicate all the time, and I strive to be a source of inspiration to my younger sister and cousins. What advice would you give other young people to pursue their goals? First and foremost, accept that you are in charge of your own destiny and that means putting the work in. Large, longterm goals are important indeed, but focus on directing your energies to the smaller short-term goals that will shape the process. Reward yourself for small successes. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and do your research. There are so many resources out there but they’re often distributed unevenly because many of us don’t know about them. I received a full scholarship and tuition remission from the Arts and Humanities Research Council to fund my Masters at Nottingham. I had no idea that this was possible at the time. My Ph.D. program and health insurance (America). Finally, I encourage young people to use rejection as an invitation to improve and reapply. As you are aware Conscious Vibes Magazine is about encouraging black women to wear their natural hair, what are your views on this topic? Knowing the histories of European colonisation and cultural imperialism, my individual politics absolutely aligns me within the camp of black cultural nationalism. I stopped relaxing/

school days, so I was lucky in the sense that I could always manage my own hair. However, I do understand that for some black women being natural is intimidating. That’s why I believe it’s so important to have platforms such as Conscious Vibes to help us reacquaint ourselves with our own skin. What’s next for Kaisha?
Rutgers I was still completing my Masters at Nottingham. The overlap in the UK/US academic calendars meant that I had to juggle a new full-time load of classes and coursework as I wrote and edited the conclusion to my Master’s thesis. Now, I’m entering my fourth year with two years of teaching experience and a proposal that I will defend early in the Autumn/Fall. I’ve
With all of your travelling, I imagine at times it has been hard without family and friends around you, can you share how this was for you? Moving to another country alone is by far the toughest thing I’ve ever done. I remember speaking to my Nan about my fear of Sept 2015
I’m turning 28 in September and plan to defend my proposal by the end of that month. From there it’s more teaching and research, research, research!
Wow Kaisha, your only 27… I applaud you, for your determinations, insight and drive; you’re not only an inspiration for young people but for adults as well.
