Congrats Chimamanda! Also love your hair, wish this style is considered a fashionable option amongst many, it'll let our hairlines breathe at least.

It's good to know that this amazon is making herself a success without the bribery and other things that are characteristic of the typical Nigerian. Congrats Chimamanda. I'm proud of you!

Now!!!! this is what i call "beauty and brain"...... Linda!,are you not considering her as our beauty of the day? i think she even worth more than that, stop featuring tura soap bleached whores as beauty of the day, they are not good inspirations.

I agree, make her beauty of the day please! beauty and brains. and what i love about her is that she is super natural, unlike most of the people you've been featuring. see her pretty chocolate skin and LOVE IT, not look over it.
thanks.
congrats Chimamanda girl, you deserve it!

What a glorious mane of hair!! Thick, shiny, soft, and healthy. It gives me hope for my own natural hair journey. This is the complete package: brains and beauty. Yes, Linda you must change your feature to "brains and beauty of the day" and not just "beauty of the day". And Ifeoma, congrats to you too and other silent achievers!!!
