Shines\n\nSpiritual Life Coach\, Ambassador of Peace and Focus Discipline Facilitator\, Founder of EQ2100\, Co-Founder\, Editor and Curator of The Natural Hair Weekly\, Co-Founder\, Naha.Love\n\nJahdusha is an ambassador of peace\, love and all things neteral/natural.  She is passionate and inspired about helping others to fulfil their full potential by regaining balance of Mind\, Body\, Soul and Spirit (M.B.S.S.) with divine tewels and powerful INsights (Knowledge of Self)\, so they can express and experience life freely and abundantly\, armoured and equipped with practical solutions\, that are paramount in our authentic growth and development.\n  \nHaving worked as an understudy with Dr. Jewel Pookrum\, and Facilitating the UK DJBP (Dr. Jewel’s Brain Balancing Program) 2010-2012\, accompanied by her studies in ELLAMENTAL\, the Science of Nature\, the Nature (Laws) of Nature\, Quanta Physics\, Psychology\, Sociology\, Sexology\, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)\, and the Diamond Light Grid (Spiritual Alchemy for Balance and Healing)\, Christianity\, Islam\, Buddism\, Nuwapu\, Noone Science\, Laws of Attraction and more\,  has all helped her to expand in consciousness and release her own toxic beliefs\, habits and behaviours.\n  \nShe realised\, if she didn’t come to know herself\, she could never have helped herself.  This is the journey of Self Mastery.  If we do not know better\, we cannot do better.  Knowledge is Power.\n  \nMore TBC  \n  \n============================================================== \nA huge part of breaking down the silence around mental health\, making people feel comfortable sharing their experiences\, and providing mental health care\, is making sure mental health is seen as equally important to physical health. \nWe need action from big brands\, the government and people with influence to provide and advocate for mental health care. \nBut we also need a change in thinking on an individual level. \nWe need to start valuing our own mental health as equally important as our physical health. \nThat starts with the way we treat it.

Shines\n\nSpiritual Life Coach\, Ambassador of Peace and Focus Discipline Facilitator\, Founder of EQ2100\, Co-Founder\, Editor and Curator of The Natural Hair Weekly\, Co-Founder\, Naha.Love\n\nJahdusha is an ambassador of peace\, love and all things neteral/natural.  She is passionate and inspired about helping others to fulfil their full potential by regaining balance of Mind\, Body\, Soul and Spirit (M.B.S.S.) with divine tewels and powerful INsights (Knowledge of Self)\, so they can express and experience life freely and abundantly\, armoured and equipped with practical solutions\, that are paramount in our authentic growth and development.\n  \nHaving worked as an understudy with Dr. Jewel Pookrum\, and Facilitating the UK DJBP (Dr. Jewel’s Brain Balancing Program) 2010-2012\, accompanied by her studies in ELLAMENTAL\, the Science of Nature\, the Nature (Laws) of Nature\, Quanta Physics\, Psychology\, Sociology\, Sexology\, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)\, and the Diamond Light Grid (Spiritual Alchemy for Balance and Healing)\, Christianity\, Islam\, Buddism\, Nuwapu\, Noone Science\, Laws of Attraction and more\,  has all helped her to expand in consciousness and release her own toxic beliefs\, habits and behaviours.\n  \nShe realised\, if she didn’t come to know herself\, she could never have helped herself.  This is the journey of Self Mastery.  If we do not know better\, we cannot do better.  Knowledge is Power.\n  \nMore TBC  \n  \n============================================================== \nA huge part of breaking down the silence around mental health\, making people feel comfortable sharing their experiences\, and providing mental health care\, is making sure mental health is seen as equally important to physical health. \nWe need action from big brands\, the government and people with influence to provide and advocate for mental health care. \nBut we also need a change in thinking on an individual level. \nWe need to start valuing our own mental health as equally important as our physical health. \nThat starts with the way we treat it.

SUMMARY:What does natural mean in 2017? Natural hair and wellbeing debate
DESCRIPTION:Inspirational YOU\, The Village\, weareUnedited and Motherhood Reconstructed \nPresents \nWhat does natural mean in 2017? \nSeries 2  \nSaturday 20th May 2017 \n4.00pm – 6.00pm \nThe Village Centre\, Willington Road\, London\, SW9 9NB. \nwww.naturalhairdebate2.eventbrite.co.uk \nInspirational YOU and Motherhood Reconstructed proudly present the second instalment of their natural hair and well-being panel discussion\, “What does natural mean in 2017?” \nFor black women across the diaspora\, the choice of how one wears their hair is at times more than simply a personal choice. Often\, it’s rife with social and political implications that can have a profound impact on all aspects of one’s life. \nThis series is a forum for all to come together and discuss the beauty and visibility of natural hair.  The Black hair care industry is worth £88 million and as utilising the rise of social influencers to reach a new audience.  \nThis panel of industry influencers will discuss hair maintenance\, wellbeing\, hair stories\, style options\, professional experiences and reflections on what it means to be natural in 2017 in an inclusive and lively environment.   \nSandra Brown-Pinnock – Owner of Xsandy’s hair and beauty retail chain and hair brand (https://xsandyshairandcosmetics.co.uk/) \nStephanie Sey – Consultant Trichologist (http://stephaniesey.co.uk/) \nYvadney Davis – Freelance fashion stylist specialising in children’s fashion and founder of the Mums That Slay blog for stylish mum’s that are passionate about self care (http://www.mumsthatslay.com) \nComfort Nsek – Simply Comfort Hair heat free mobile hair service and Trainee Solicitor (https://www.simplycomforthair.com/) \nDr Samantha Z Tross MBBS\, FRCS\, FRCS Ed\, FRCS Ed(Tr&Orth) – \nConsultant Orthopaedic Surgeon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Tross) \nThe panel will be moderated by Leah Samuel and Tamu Thomas of Motherhood Reconstructed. \nYou can read some information about the previous panelists here. \nTickets for the event are £5.00 – £10.00 \nwww.naturalhairdebate2.eventbrite.co.uk   \nThere will be limited tickets available at the door.  \nChildren under 16 are free. \nMore info: \n info@inspirationalyou.co.uk  \n hello@motherhood-reconstructed.com \nDiscussion – Series 1 \nThe growing number of Black women transitioning from chemically relaxed to natural hair styles has inspired a strong sisterhood within the hair care community. Yet it has also spawned divisions between wearers of relaxed hair vs. natural and has led to a debate among over what it means to be natural. \nSome natural hair advocates believe that natural hair refers to texture\, not colour or length\, and as long as the chemical structure of the hair is unaltered\, it can be considered natural. Supporters of this argument would likely consider commercial hair products\, wigs\, weaves\, and even hair straightening with a hot comb\, acceptable hair care options that fall under the natural-hair umbrella. \nOthers argue that the natural hair movement is a celebration of Black women’s beauty\, hair textures and hairstyles\, and so wigs\, weaves\, hair colouring\, extensions\, or using a flat iron do not constitute being natural. \nAlso hear about The Village CIC and their plans for this new community space. \nMore info: \nEmail: thevilageldn@gmail.com \nInfo: 07772 527 813 / 07545 156 111
