Birmingham Natural Beauties

Greetings Friend, 

 

Birmingham Natural Beauties (BNB) is a space for women to connect, support, and encourage one another on their natural hair journeys. We embrace our God-given beauty as described in Psalm 139:14, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."  

 

I am excited about the momentum surrounding Birmingham Natural Beauties and am glad you are connected to us. Please mark your calendars to join us at the events detailed below.

 

Best,

Katrina
