On The Move  - 7/11
Summer brings many things we love and good times that will make for fond memories. In our July newsletter you're invited to savor a sweet scent and I share info about our move to our new home. I'm also contemplating a move back to a familiar hairstyle. We salute a client who's made a move into a new writing career and say goodbye to one who's moved on to join the ancestors. We hope that you take time this summer to enjoy life in the sunshine and the gifts of joy that are yours for the taking.

Smelled any Latana lately?  The lantana is a hardly annual that has a unique scent. I have made it a staple for my summer garden. Learn more about this beautiful plant at Anu Essentials.

Thank you to those of you who sent in photos for the Black Father's Revealed

Music is a healing force that intrinsically sets a mood and creates a vibration.  The many instruments made by man offer amazing sounds.  Still, the human voice is the first instrument for me and my instrument of choice. And as a lover of voices, I have started a YouTube channel where I load music that I love and I've done a couple of montages that you might enjoy.  

 

The first is a video that  I put together is called Subatomic Blues, an original song by Cassandra Wilson.  I posted the video on Cassandra's facebook fan page.  Cassandra viewed the video and informed me that she loved it.  I feel encouraged! 

 

My latest montage is a tribute to the beauty of Tupac Shakur featuring the voice of Ms. Ella Fitzgerald.

Park It


Many of you have asked about parking near our new location. There are 2-hour parking muni meters on our street and the streets surrounding our block, as well as any number of parking lots.

 

 

On The Move   

moving day 

As you may have noted, summer is marching on by. And we are just a few short weeks away from the date of our relocation. Hopefully by now everyone's heard or seen that we're making a move to 400 Atlantic Avenue come August. We are building out the new space as I write this. If any of you have been through any type of construction project you know that things aren't always done exactly in the time frame you imagined.

 

That said, it is our plan to start doing business in our new space starting Wednesday August 17th. We will be closed for business Sunday August 14th and Tuesday August 16th.  All appointments before the 14th date will be serviced at the 327 Gold Street location.  We assure you that we don't plan to skip a beat and we are looking forward to you keeping in lockstep with us as we transition into our new home.

Anu & Sharon

 

My friend Sharon Pendana is a unique, brilliant and talented sister who is always such a pleasure to spend time and space with. I first met Sharon many years ago on a photo shoot with Essence. Sharon is a fashion stylist extraordinaire. But in recent years she's been sharing with us her dynamic gift of writing. I was honored when she decided to include me in her treasure 'Trove' of people in her world. She's profiled me in a way that makes me feel especially blessed and humbled by her brilliant telling of my life's story.  Anu in The Trove    

A Reluctant Farewell

Recently we learned that one of our clients made her transition. This is something we never expect. We connect with our clients, service them and interact in a way that says we look forward to seeing them next time. We never think that there may not be a next time.

 

I did not really know Cheryl Coxx personally, but I'm told she was delightful, and sweet, loving and infectious personality. She was always smiling and being playful with our staff. We will definitely miss her here at Khamit Kinks and we she will always be remembered for the gift of light she brought through our doors over the years. Rest in Peace Cheryl.

 

 

To Loc Again or Not?

Anu - Red Locs 1990's

Though we're barely into summer I am already preparing for my fall look. I've have Locs three times now and I'm considering a fourth time. To lock again or not, that is the question I keep asking myself... To Loc Again or Not?
