 STAGE SHOWS 

This year’s fashion show is being sponsored by the British Heart Foundation (BHF).  The BHF is the UK’s number one heart charity and is committed to raising awareness of heart disease – UK’s single biggest killer.  Did you know that African Caribbean people are twice as likely to have a stroke as people of European origin?  The show will be introduced by Michelle White, whose heart problems began at just 26 but she is a survivor and a supporter of the BHF.

JJ Rocks Consultancy will also be hosting an impeccable fashion show and pop-up boutique, with an eclectic mix of designers from established labels such as Ade Bakare to emerging labels such as Binghi’s Boutique.

The theme will be “Empowering Women”: the confidence, strength and beauty that a woman exudes both inside and out.

The Boutique aims to encompass all that is beautiful and chic. From handmade accessories to exquisitely made clothing with influences spanning across continents.

Jodi Barima, Founder of JJ Rocks is a London/Paris fashion week designer/stylist and consultant. Her partner Dennica-Abdo Markham, Founder of US Company Fashion Meets music LA/London is also an events manager with grass roots in PR & Live Entertainment. This dynamic duo aim to raise the bar of Afro Hair and beauty Live with their conceptual show stopping surprises.

Stakes will be raised even higher at the ‘Battle of the Barbers’ as the winner will take home a prize draw of a £1000. The competition will see barbers go head to head in a 15 minute freestyle cutting challenge. Find out who will be able to cut the sharpest, fastest and most creatively!

EXHIBITION

Get your hands on the best products from around the world, brought to you by the people that make them. Skin serums, body butters, hair extensions and everything in between, all ready to be tried and tested by you!

Take time out to be indulged with a customised manicure at one of the many pop-up beauty booths or take the stress off your mind with an Indian head massage or spa facial. From beautiful henna tattoos to professional eyebrow threading and eyelash extensions all at cut prices, you will leave feeling totally revived and refreshed.

Hair lovers will enjoy the interactive debate — a show’s first — and can put questions to our expert panel affiliated with major brands such as Mazuri, Mixed Chicks, Taliah Waajid and Jane Carter.

Kiki Terrell’s “Getting Some” released by Tamarind Tree Publishing

Kiki Terrell is a mother of three, writer and businesswoman, born in Barbados but currently resident in England. ‘Getting Some‘ is her first novel. She is presently pursuing an MA in Creative Writing. Tamarind Tree Publishing is her company.
Getting Some Cover - Large
The novel is about three women from America and the Caribbean, pursuing life and love in the UK.

What do you do when getting what you want in life and love requires giving up everything you thought you owned? Chama, Tasha and Coco are three friends pursuing their dreams in London. Tasha’s newly-minted, new-age world view makes her current life peaceful and her gangster past something of a distant memory – until her man’s self-imposed celibacy ban is broken just long enough for him to impregnate her – and propose to someone else. Coco’s just about managing to keep her life, her staff and her husband firmly in the palm of her hand, until one wild indiscretion sends her into a tailspin and causes everything she knows to crumble. Chama’s Christian values – and her belief in happily ever after – are challenged by her husband’s impotence. Does a founding member and head of the women’s ministry of the Blessed Family Church leave her husband for his inability to have sex? Things come to a head when the secret that two of them have allowed to remain buried erupts in one life-changing afternoon and it seems like things can never be the same again.

You can find Kiki Terrell on Facebook, Twitter @KikiTerrell  and on Wattapad (at)  KikiTerrell2013.
