Instagram

I've reached 1000 followers!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 -- It had secretly been a goal of mine to surpass 1000 followers before the end of the year and after hovering at 980 for what seemed like FOREVER, it FINALLY happened! -- Because Instagram be buggin' and I don't quite understand all of these algorithms yet, and because some of my followers are kind of random, I fully anticipate that this number might dip again, but hey -- welcome anyhow! 🙋🏿‍♀️ -- Welcome to my online community. I'm just glad y'all are here! Let's get happy together!

I'm posting this photo for all of the times I've heard any variation of the following 🙋🏿‍♀️: -- "Something's different..."🤦🏿‍♀️ "Is that your real hair?" (Said when I have extensions) 🤦🏿‍♀️ "Oh my gosh! You cut your hair!"🤦🏿‍♀️ "Why don't you grow out your hair?"🤦🏿‍♀️ -- Hi. My name is Simone. I'm Black. 🙆🏿‍♀️ This is my #naturalhair. 💁🏿‍♀️ It shrinks in the presence of moisture or humidity. It stretches with the application of heat or chemicals or shea butter. 🙎🏿‍♀️ No, I've never had a hair cut. 💇🏿‍♀️ I trim my ends every now and again. And no -- you cannot touch it.🙍🏿‍♀️ I'm not a dog. Do not pet me.🙅🏿‍♀️ -- Thanks. 🙇🏿‍♀️ -- #shrinkage #naturalhairjourney #naturalhairjourneycontinues #publicserviceannouncement

Repost from my Facebook profile: -- I just had the most fantastic @Uber driver and I need to tell you about him (I already complimented him, gave him 5 stars and tipped him heavily on the #Uber app, but I need to share): -- He keeps snacks in the pockets of the back doors of his vehicle for his Uber passengers -- water bottles, Nature Path granola bars and candy. <3 He said, "I just try to treat people the way I want to be treated." -- He provided friendly, non-intrusive conversation throughout my ride, and even warned me at the outset of a few bumps that we might encounter on our route because of work on the road. Before taking an alternate route on account of construction, he made sure I was okay with the change. -- Now, I'm used to my Uber drivers helping me with my groceries or my luggage, but usually, it's a shared responsibility: I would take half of the bags and he would take the other half. But not this driver. He hoisted my backpack on his back and took my luggage and wouldn't let me lift a finger. He turned on the light in his car so that I could find my keys... he mentioned that he always stays and makes sure that his passengers get into their apartment building safely before driving off. -- I learned that he left his full-time job because he is fighting cancer. He's actually currently going through chemotherapy. "I was washing my hair this morning and I saw some hair come out and that was distressing," he told me. "But on the bright side. I enjoy not having to shave anymore!" What a pleasant disposition. Such a positive thinker and an absolute gentleman. I offered to pray for him and he said he would appreciate that very much (I found out that he's also a Christian). -- He loves driving for Uber and he's alone/single and he's fighting cancer and he's older and my heart just goes out to him. If you are of the praying type, would you please pray for my #uberdriver ? His name is Peter.

It only took 30 years but I am finally the owner of my first and only Black @barbie doll! #Barbie or @mattel won the #blogher18 #femvertising award and so we all got to take home Barbie dolls! -- Growing up, my Barbies never looked like me. In recent years, I have appreciated #barbie 's attempt to create a greater diversity of dolls -- dolls of different colours and professions. -- I think I'll name my doll Serena, after @serenawilliams , the greatest athlete of all time. #blackbarbie #diversetoys

So many #sarcophagi (plural of #sarcophagus). Also, you can't tell me that the ancient Egyptians weren't Black/darkskinned people. #metmuseum #ancientegypt #ancientegyptian #egyptianart

This is the #templeofdundur -- a real ancient Egyptian temple that they somehow transported to this museum. The Egyptian exhibit was by far my favourite. It was like having my grade five unit on ancient Egypt come alive after all these years. #metmuseum #egypt #egyptianart #ancientegypt
