Naturally Fierce Feature: Sharon

nappy3

I’m Sharon from Queens, NY currently residing in PA.

How long have you been natural?

I have been natural for 10-12 years.

What motivated you to transition? Were you a transitioner or a Big Chopper& why?

I started transitioning after I met my husband in 2002.  We got married in 2003 and I was moving away from my mom who is the only person I felt comfortable doing my hair. Not wanting to deal with getting relaxers from someone else, I decided to see what my natural hair looked like.

How would you describe your hair?

Kinky, Nappy, Thick, and Fun!!

What do you love most about your hair?

I love its versatility!  4a/4b/4c hair can be transformed and molded like no other hair on earth!  It’s a lot of work but totally worth it!  It has made my life much more interesting and enjoyable.

What has been the most memorable part of your journey?  Has it been easy or difficult or both?!

The difficult parts are hard to remember since I’ve been natural for some time…when I see someone with kinky 4b/4c hair say “Wow!  Maybe I CAN be natural”, “Wow, our hair DOES grow!” or “Nappy hair CAN be fabulous!” it makes my day because I’ve planted the seed toward one more person going natural!!  Makes my day.

What were some of your favorite transitioning hairstyles?

1) Roller sets 2) Roller sets!  Did I mention roller sets?!  LOL!  Kinky hair without a lot of curl definition responds phenomenally to roller sets!  It’s like training your hair to be an afro…but under YOUR terms!  Perm rods and straw sets are my signature styles and faves!

What have your experiences been as a ‘natural?’ Any memorable reactions from family or others?

Crazy positive!  I have been photographed by strangers, approached by magazine editors in Paris, done runway shows…all because of the fascination with natural kinky hair.  We have the most unique hair on the planet and when it’s in it’s glory, it DEMANDS/COMMANDS attention!

What is your hair regimen (including fav products)?

I’m pretty low maintenance with products.  I love Shea Moisture products and Giovanni products.  Both are pretty inexpensive and easy to find.

What are some of your favorite natural hair websites,YouTuber’s, or blogs?

I’m mostly excited about mine!  LOL!  Since I’m a 10 years plus natural, I’m used to working things out independently since there was NO YOUTUBE when I started.  I’m learning to check out others for trends…but I do my own thing usually.  One of my current favorites on Instagram is kim_nettles.  She’s a fabulous natural that goes to many places I’ve been to…but I wore my hair up!  She rocks her fro in remote places in Asia and I admire that!  She adores travelling and so do I!

Anything you want the readers to know? Inspirational words?

Yes.  Regardless of your hair type, find out what your hair likes and stick with it.  Everyone’s hair type is different.  Some can rock a twist-out and look fabulous, others cannot.  My hair doesn’t care for braid-outs or twist-outs and that is ok.  Embrace what your hair CAN do and not what it WON’T or CANNOT do.  Experiment until you find what it likes and work with that.  Stay positive and avoid watching and/or exposing yourself to beauty that is artificial.  Stay natural and stay beautiful!

    Hatton won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January—his third title in 11 months—before cooling off. However, he finished a career-best 18th at The Masters and Kiawah Island should suit his style. The Englishman relishes links courses—he won the Dunhill Links Championship back-to-back in 2016 and 2017—and finished third at the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town last year on a course designed by Dye. There are a few things to know about the Travelers Championship. One, Bubba Watson owns this course, having won it three times in the past 10 years. Two, you often see long shot winners here, like journeyman Ken Duke in 2013 and Peter Jacobson in 2003 at the end of his career. With that said, here are my top picks for the tournament. The defending champ, DJ, has the second-shortest odds to win the 2021 Travelers Championship. Johnson was not one of the Top 30 finishers in his three previous tournaments here at TPC River Highlands, but he claimed the trophy in just his second appearance here last year. It might be wise to avoid Johnson though as he has not finished higher than T8 since winning the Masters last November.

    The last two winners here ranked first (Horschel, 2022) and sixth (Cantlay, 2021) for Scrambling during their winning weeks. The main storyline: UFC 271 will feature Puma representative Israel Adesanya taking on Robert Whittaker for his Middleweight championship. Currently, Adesanya holds a victory over Whittaker at UFC 243 via KO by punches. The event crowned Adesanya as the undisputed UFC middleweight champion. The UFC comes to Hamburg, Germany with former champions Andrei Arlovski and Josh Barnett facing off in a battle of MMA veterans. The fight card also features bouts with Nick Hein and Peter Sobotta. In the Women’s Bantamweight division, Veronica Macedo makes her debut against Ashlee Evans-Smith, who is filling in for the injured Germaine de Randamie. As always, you can bet on the fights with Bitcoin. Let’s take a look at some of the match ups.

    North Carolina has been a pleasant surprise. We knew the offense would be good, but they have been solid on D and thus perfect so far. I like this spot because the market is looking at Miami more than it should after that tragic loss last week. North Carolina is at home with the better quarterback. That is more than enough to punch it on this short line. This short line was a big surprise to me. Miami is getting a ton of respect they have not earned. LISTEN However, Corum has broken off runs of 20-plus yards against Alabama, Ohio State, and Penn State, something I see happening here. Texas had 180 yards on the ground against Washington with three rushers between 54 and 64 yards and three total rushing TDs. For new customer offers, Bonus Bets expire in seven days.

    Nikola Jokić is the current frontrunner for the award and has been for most of the season. As it stands, Jokić is paving the way to his third MVP title. For the Denver Nuggets, Jokić is averaging 26.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, and nine assists so far this season. Here’s an early look at the odds to win this year’s award. The Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks will meet next Thursday night at TD Garden for Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals. As it stands, there are many in contention when placing a bet on NBA finals MVP and the regular season MVP. Steph Curry (+1225) was named consecutive MVP and sits fifth in line to pick up this year’s award, after returning from a broken hand he picked up back in the 2023 24 NBA season. His old teammate Kevin Durant (+1200) has been enjoying his time at the Brooklyn Nets, alongside James Harden and Kyrie Irving.

    Stefan also warns of men simply looking for one night stands and urges them “to treat others how they want to be treated”. You shouldn't meet someone just to sleep with them straight away, you should try and find out more about them to see if you're compatible,” Stefan said. To be a Mainstream to Presenter Earlier this week, Stefan reckoned that finding love without the dating app was surprising “given my title”. However, sharing a link to an article on social media, Maya denied that the story was true at all and referred to Tomlin as “a random person”. Tomlin, 32, who says he became “the most swiped-right man on Tinder” in 2017 with 14,000 matches, runs a dating agency called Celebrity Love Coach. The agency launched a new love coaching program that reportedly integrates AI and ChatGPT into its course. It claims to provide clients with “everything you need to succeed in the dating world.”
