I got the wonderful opportunity, via an Instagram contest, to be included in a photoshoot for Essence Magazine and Essence.com. I travelled about 3 hours by train to London and met up with the ladies from Natural Hair Daily. The photographer, Kelvin Buluck @kelbpics was absolutely amazing!. He made me feel so comfortable and was great and providing direction in front of the camera. After the photoshoot, we snapped a couple pics which are now up on Essence.com. I was photographed with my cousin who met up with me at the event. Check out photo number 38 of 42 in the Hair Street Style: Naturals Across the Pond photo gallery.
