Celebrating black women living in Europe.

Glad to have you back!

Shahera in the UK is writing an article as part of a BBC project she is producing and would very much appreciate your help!

Would you take part in a survey? The survey is in English and French.

The article and programme is on Black women and how they see themselves in the media and particularly, how Black women get their information on cosmetics, hair and fashion.

Where do you get your information on the latest products, styles, trends for women of African descent and how do you decide how you purchase these products? In your opinion, are there enough current TV/print/ advertising targeting you specially and your beauty needs? Is the media reflecting your beauty and how you see yourself as beautiful? Are commercial cosmetic, hair and fashion products targeting you?

How do you make your purchasing decisions?

I would appreciate very much in you taking part. I would value your comments and contribution.

The target of women for the article is

Black and mixed heritage women 21 – 55 years of Age who are fashion, make up, beauty conscious.

You must reside in Europe, Africa or United States. Contact Shaheera Asante, acacmembers@gmail.com.

Souhaitez-vous participer à un sondage pour moi, je fais un article pour la BBC sur la Black Beauty (sur les produits cosmétiques des femmes noires, des cheveux et de la mode), où les femmes noires ne reçoivent leurs informations sur les derniers produits, les styles, les tendances et comment pensez-vous décider comment vous procurer ces produits … est-il assez de publicité actuel de ciblage de vous spécialement et vos besoins de beauté, etc. Seriez-vous intéressé à participer? Je donnerais de la valeur de vos commentaires et contributions.

Serait un questionnaire simplement je email.

Meilleurs voeux et passez une bonne soirée!

Taiwo Ogunnaike is working on a book project about natural hair:

Hello to all my sisters in Europe!

I am currently living in the Netherlands. I was born in the UK and I guess, in some way, that is where my roots are still.

Anyway, I am taking on a really big project on writing a book on UK Black women and their natural hair journeys. It’s about giving a voice to Black women who were born or have lived in the UK for a long time. I would like to our stories to be told – in fact, I feel it is time for us to document our unique perspective in this natural hair renaissance that is currently occurring.

If you know of any women who want to take part in this book or if you are interested, please check out my website for further contact details: http://shiftingtheroots.yolasite.com/

Peace
Taiwo Ogunnaike
