Anu's Retrospective                         
October 2009

As the new season settles here in New York, it seems that the autumn winds are stirring up memories and clearing the path for new growth. In this issue of your favorite newsletter I look back on my adventures with natural hair, and look forward to the realization of a shiny new project. I weigh in with my two cents on Chris Rock's movie and recommend an honest and touching memoir written by a talented and trailblazing Black beauty. Here's hoping you're inspired to go out and create a legacy that's uniquely your own!

Some of you may know by now that I have two blogs, one for Khamit Kinks called Ask Anu and a personal blog called Anu's Essentials.  In case you're interested, I recently moved Anu's Essentials from blogspot to wordpress, for readers ease of use.  You can check me out at my new location.

A number of months ago some of our styles were filmed by About.com, the website you can visit to learn "about" pretty much anything these days.  Several of our classic styles are now featured on About.com Check us out!

Anu's Retrospective

Last June 2008 marked 30 years since I first began braiding hair professionally, helping to pioneer the industry of natural hair care.  That anniversary month went by without any fanfare.  For some unexplainable reason, I didn't acknowledge this milestone. I didn't celebrate, have a grand affair or a retirement party.  This year though, I decided at the urging of my niece and protégé Zauditu, to put together a retrospective of the many styles I've worn over the years.

It turned out to be quite a trip down memory lane and a very satisfying experience.  It wasn't just the hairstyles, but those pics brought back memories of some of the many other important occurrences that took place in those time-frames.  I liken it to a pictorial memoir.  In the end I realized that I had participated in a journey that it seems I had to take for more reasons than one. Check out Anu's Retrospective on You Tube.



Our Success!

In Our Heads

The debut of the extended trailer of our film, turned out to be quite a success. We were ecstatic with the turnout and with the responses of those who saw it.  Check it out at Ask Anu

Diahann

By now many of you may have already heard about Diahann Carroll's latest biography, "The Legs Are The Last To Go," published last spring.  I didn't get a chance to read this book until this past summer and I must say Ms. Carroll's  honest revelation of herself still haunts me.  Check out my review of our enduring Diva, Ms. Diahann Carroll, at Anu's Essentials.
