Protect Your Crown with these Hair Tips from African Pride’s Pro Stylist

It’s no secret that haircare products with natural ingredients are better for your overall health. Over the past few years, beauty makers and consumers alike have become more mindful of the harsh chemicals in products. The transition to clean beauty products has shifted the way that companies formulate products.

That is why African Pride created the Coils Require More campaign and launched a collection of beauty aids that are made with natural ingredients like chocolate, coconuts, honey, and more.

The collection is designed with naturalistas in mind—no matter their hair type or texture. Celebrity stylist Robin D. Groover, the founder of Too Groovy Hair Salon in Atlanta, wants to help women protect their natural tresses and hair health using African Pride’s Moisture Miracle products.

If you’re looking for ways to style and protect your hair, take a look at these tips from Groover.

What styling opportunities does each product offer women?

Through its newest campaign, Coils Require More, African Pride’s Moisture Miracle Collection is setting out to show the various ways to love and care for coily and curly textured hair with a regimen the brand has coined as their Coily Girl Method.

I’m a fan of this regimen because it places just as much emphasis on great technique as it does on premium, natural ingredients for coily and curly textures. The goal of this technique is simple: healthy coils and curls that flourish with maximum control, hydration, and shine. But the best part about the regimen is that it shows true styling versatility. Whether mixing, layering, or cocktailing the products in each step, the biggest opportunity for consumers lies in the reliability of a healthy hair regimen that places importance on providing premium, natural ingredients all under $5, without compromising quality.

The Coily Girl Method can be explained in 5 necessary steps:

Step 1: Moisture Miracle Aloe & Coconut Water Pre-Shampoo. Incorporating a Pre-Shampoo into your regimen helps to minimize breakage and defines coils.

Step 2: Moisture Miracle Honey & Coconut Oil Shampoo and Honey, Chocolate, & Coconut Oil Conditioner. This moisturizing combination removes dirt and buildup from hair without stripping hair of its natural oils to deeply penetrate coils, leaving the hair soft, nourished, and with shine.

Step 3: Moisture Miracle Coconut Milk & Honey Leave-In Conditioner. This deep penetrating leave-in conditioner uses a nourishing blend of Coconut Milk & Honey to impart lasting moisture while helping to protect against breakage.

Step 4: Moisture Miracle Shea Butter & Flaxseed Oil Curling Cream. This versatile curling cream blends Shea Butter and Flaxseed Oil to provide deep moisture, lasting definition, and radiant shine, leaving coily styles smooth and bouncy with a soft hold.

Step 5: Moisture Miracle 5 Essential Oils. Protect your coils and style definition with this restorative hair and scalp oil. It uses a nourishing blend of 5 essential oils and Vitamin E to replenish natural nutrients, help protect against breakage and promote natural growth; leaving coils with body and shine.

Confidence is Key

RDB: I also love that the possibilities of the Moisture Miracle Collection extend past healthy haircare. Consumers can feel confident creating nourished and hydrated wash-n-go’s, twist-outs, braid outs, finger coil styles, rod sets, and any coily-curly style desired.

How can women use the products from the new collection to achieve fun go-to looks?

Fun go-to looks start with great care and creativity. Refresh old curls with the leave-in conditioning spray and re-work rod sets to add more definition and volume using the curling cream. Or, fluff out a puff with the Leave-In Conditioner.

As we transition into the Spring from the Winter, what are some protective styles that women can create to protect their hair using the products?

Protective styles are easy to maintain. For optimal protective care for natural coils and curls, use the Moisture Miracle Leave-In Conditioner for scalp nourishment throughout the longevity of the style without creating build-up. Another rule of thumb is to refresh any type of curls with a leave-in vs water.

Mom relieved daughter, Spelman international student, returning safely from Morocco

In the midst of the worsening coronavirus crisis, one worried mom has received welcome news that her daughter, a Spelman College junior, will return home from her study abroad program in Morocco.

Valda Valbrun says she was not only concerned for her daughter’s health amid the COVID-19 pandemic but also how Arianna Valbrun was being treated in North Africa. Arianna left the United States at the end of January for her program, administered by the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES).

Her time in Morocco was not as welcoming as she’d hoped, Valda Valbrun, an educational consultant based in North Carolina, told WSB-2 in Atlanta.

“She was referred to as the ‘n’ word,” Valda Valbrun said.

“One of her friends happens to be of Asian descent and so they were really experiencing a lot in terms of not being treated nicely,” the elder Valbrun explained, referring to anti-Asian bias that has emerged due to reports that the coronavirus came from China.

“I guess many people there have concerns about Americans,” Valda Valbrun continued. “The host family has a small child and so they were expressing concerns that made her feel uncomfortable.”

The mom said her concern reached a peak when her daughter sent her video showing violence in the streets of Morocco. Multiplying the mom’s worry was that authorities were shutting down international air traffic to and from the country.

Valda Valbrun turned to that global means of communication: Twitter. From her account, @vsquared613, she tweeted to Spelman, an all-female HBCU in Atlanta, and asked if they could help.

On Friday, Valbrun learned that her daughter would be boarding a flight Friday, and she should be arriving at Miami International Airport Saturday afternoon, according to WSB.

“When there’s chaos in a country, you want your kid nearby,” Valda Valbrun said, adding that she is keeping the experience in perspective. “There’s so much to be grateful for and I’m just going to sit in that space.”

Arianna’s LinkedIn profile indicates she is majoring in international/global studies with a concentration in marketing and a minor in photography.

MIT community encouraged to respond to request for personal protective equipment

With a surge in Covid-19 cases anticipated in the coming days and weeks, frontline medical teams and hospitals are working to prepare. However, many area facilities have limited supplies of the personal protective equipment (PPE) they need to do their jobs and stay safe. This equipment provides a first line of defense for health care workers against the virus, allowing the workers to continue serving patients and the hospitals to maintain staffing levels as the number of cases increase.

“Local hospitals and medical centers currently have an acute need for PPE, including surgical masks, face shields, N95s, sanitizer, gloves, safety gowns, and transport media,” Elazer Edelman wrote in a recent email to the MIT community. As the director of the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES), the Edward J. Poitras Professor in Medical Engineering and Science, and a senior attending physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Edelman says that medical professionals throughout the region have reached out to him directly with requests for any PPE that can be donated. “These hospitals are desperate for any of these supplies,” he wrote.

To respond to this unprecedented need, a cross-campus team at the Institute is working to solicit and collect any extra, unopened PPE from laboratories at MIT. Specifically, this team is looking for donations of unopened and unused face masks (including N95) including clinical, surgical, or other types; face shields; gloves; powered air-purifying respirators; gowns; cleaning wipes with bleach; hand sanitizers; swabs including Dacron, rayon, or nylon swabs; and culture media.

Currently staffed labs with any of these items in any quantity are encouraged to sort them as best as possible and email donate-ppe@mit.edu to arrange collection. Labs that have received appeals for donations can also forward requests to this email address to coordinate responses.

Labs are not required to donate, and each lab should assess its own needs going forward and retain items needed to safely complete approved laboratory maintenance and Covid-19-related research. Teams at the Institute will be working to ensure donations are distributed to local facilities equitably and according to need. For any additional questions about donations, email donate-ppe@mit.edu.

U.S. Extends Tax Filling Deadline to July 15, Are You Happy?

In a move many saw coming, the IRS has delayed the April 15 deadline to file taxes for three months to July 15 while the government finds new ways to deal with the coronavirus outbreak.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced the change Friday on Twitter.

“We are moving Tax Day from April 15 to July 15,” Mnuchin said. “All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties.”

The announcement comes just days after Mnuchin announced the IRS would defer $300 billion in IRS payments for 90 days. The delays give individuals and corporations more time to file and pay before they would owe interest and penalties for late filing.

Many states have also delayed their filing and payment deadlines, including New York and California but that could end up hurting states if the virus outbreak lasts past the summer because states will not receive the money they need to pay for resources such as medical equipment to deal with the virus outbreak.

The agency is encouraging those who are expecting refunds to file on time and the IRS recommends filing electronically and opting for direct deposit to get the money within about three weeks.

Part of the reason for the delay is that it may be difficult or unsafe for people to meet with their tax preparer before April 15. With many businesses and most schools shut down to prevent the spread of the virus, tax preparers are also shutting their doors.

“It’s welcome news and it will put the minds of millions of taxpayers and preparers at ease,” Cindy Hockenberry, director of tax research and government relations at the National Association of Tax Professionals, told Bloomberg on Friday.

The coronavirus outbreak has affected many parts of everyday life for Americans. Republicans are pushing to make direct payments to American homes. More than 15% of employees have either lost their jobs or have seen their hours significantly reduced.

Walmart Will Pay Cash Bonuses To Hourly Employees During Coronavirus

Walmart announced Thursday it would use more than $350 million to pay cash bonuses to its hourly employees for working during the coronavirus outbreak.

According to MSN, the bonuses will amount to $300 for full-time hourly associates and $150 for part-time hourly associates. Every employee hired as of March 1 will be eligible for the bonus. Additionally, the supermarket chain will pay out a separate quarterly bonus to employees 30 days earlier than scheduled and plans on hiring 150,000 new associates through the end of May to fulfill increasing demand in stores, clubs, distribution centers, and fulfillment centers.

“Not only are we not laying off people, but we are in a position where we are also going to be hiring an additional 150,000 new associates,” Dan Bartlett, Walmart’s executive vice president of corporate affairs, said on a call with reporters. “They’re doing Herculean work in our stores and serving customers in frankly a tense environment.”

In order to hire that many people quickly, Walmart has streamlined its hiring process to 24 hours between filling out an application and being hired. Bartlett said the hiring spree “contributes a bit to easing the pain of this broader economic downturn that the coronavirus is causing.”

Business Insider is also reporting Walmart is working with the federal government to set up drive though coronavirus testing centers at its locations. Bartlett added that the first centers should be up and running within 72 hours.

“We have teams on the ground, we have tents, and everything’s ready,” Bartlett said. The sites are waiting on supplies of personal protection equipment and swabbing test kits to get up and running.”

Other supermarket chains are also contributing during the coronavirus outbreak. Stop & Shop has set specific hours for elderly and disabled customers to shop. Trader Joe’s has a bonus at each of its locations to share its increased profits with workers.

The coronavirus outbreak has infected more than 200,000 people around the world. More than 89,000 have recovered and been released but more than 10,000 people have succumbed to the virus.

How Collective PAC’s $1 million dollar donation will help families impacted by coronavirus

Quentin James, founder, and president of The Collective Political Action Committee isn’t waiting for someone else to fill the gap left by the federal government in its response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

“We can’t expect Donald Trump and The White House to solve this problem,” James tells theGrio. “We gotta solve this ourselves.”

Together with Andrew Yang and his non-profit Humanity Forward, James is helping families in need by providing $1 million in funds. James launched the COVID Response Team to provide assistance to households in the Bronx and hopes to grow the initiative nationwide.

The Collective PAC was founded in 2016 to amplify Black voices in politics and build Black political power. James has temporarily set aside political agendas to lead in giving the community hope and financial stability in a crucial time. 

READ MORE: Andrew Yang announces he’s donating $1M for coronavirus relief

Partnering with Yang and Humanity Forward, James and The Collective PAC are able to donate $1 million in donated funds to assist minority families in the Bronx which James notes was the poorest county in New York before the virus. “They’re going to be hit the hardest,” he explains. 

The two organizations are working with Neighborhood Trust, a local credit union, to provide for approximately 1000 families already struggling to make ends meet. The COVID Response Team directly steps in where the founders say the federal government lacked. 

“Part of it is we’re seeing such a lack of concern from some of our elected leaders and the federal government,” says James.  “Just the thought that people can just stay at home, work from home, or kids can stay home from school… They’re not taking into account the condition they’re putting people in, in real life. Right now, we don’t feel like our lives are being considered in a real way.” 

“The country should have been preparing months ago when we first learned about this virus back in December,” James continues.  “The delay in action has impacted everyone’s lives but [has] hit Black and Brown [people] the most. We have to step up in this moment to deal with that and then we can get back to politics.”

Donors raised money and approached James, seeking to support people in need through the pandemic.

“A lot of donors around the country were concerned about how the pandemic impacted those on the front lines,” says James. “These businesses are closing and unfortunately because of missteps from the federal government, people are suffering. We wanted to figure out a way to cut through the red tape and help people survive. Some donors approached us to help and we partnered with Andrew Yang and group and we are still raising money,” he continues. 

Partnering with Andrew Yang came organically. A staffer on Yang’s presidential campaign who was handling finances also worked behind the scenes for Collective PAC. Both were looking for partnerships and their visions aligned.  

“We are only in week one of this economic shutdown. By the time you get to week four or five, many people will be in desperate circumstance(s) and that is what we need to prevent as soon as possible,” Yang said during an interview with CNN. 

Collective PAC and Humanity Forward are still collecting funds to support the COVID Response Team. Hopefully, continued funds and measured community impact will carry their mission beyond the Bronx to New York’s other boroughs and across the country. 

“The pilot project now is specifically for people in the Bronx. Hopefully (it will) inspire folk to donate and the initiative can grow across the country,” James said.

Residents of the Bronx can currently apply for assistance. To donate, sign up, volunteer, or learn more, click here.

Scholly Launches COVID-19 Student Relief Fund to Provide Families In Need With Cash

Scholly, a popular scholarship-matching platform, is giving back to students in need in midst of the coronavirus crisis.

On Thursday, the tech-based educational app launched the Scholly COVID-19 Relief Fund, which provides low-income students and parents with $200 to help get supplies and groceries on a rolling basis. With the support of family foundations and individual donors, the initiative aims to help as many families as possible in light of the global pandemic, which has shut down school systems and businesses throughout the nation.

“By providing $200 in cash assistance, we aim to provide essential financial help to buy groceries, health supplies, and other necessities to those in need,” reads a statement on the company’s website.

For the last five years, Scholly claims to have helped students win $100 million dollars in scholarships. Hence, Scholly CEO Christopher Gray described the relief fund as “a no brainer.”

“Scholly’s brand and product has been built by students for students so the company feels it is our duty to step in and help as many students as possible,” he said in a statement. “We are working with foundations, brands, and other startups to raise as much as we can to make a real impact.”

Self-described as the no. 1 rated scholarship app in the world, Scholly provides students with access to hundreds of scholarships, for college or graduate school. The platform also uses artificial intelligence to proofread and edit academic papers, essays, and other writing assignments.

Gray created Scholly to empower students with the same techniques that helped him earn $1.3 million in scholarships while he was in college. His company received national attention when it was featured on Shark Tank and landed a deal with Daymond John and Lori Greiner, while also sparking one of the biggest fights in the show’s history.

In January, Scholly partnered with Grammy Award-winning artist Lil Nas X to provide three deserving high school and current college students with $10,000 each in scholarships.

Students can apply at  COV1D-19 Student Relief Fund here. If approved, applicants will be sent instructions on how to access funds.

Vanessa Bryant files docs to rush probate case amid coronavirus pandemic

It appears Vanessa Bryant doesn’t want coronavirus to slow down her probate case, as the grieving widow forges on to update his trust for their three daughters.

According to TMZ, Bryant filed legal documents asking a judge to appoint a guardian for Bianka and Natalia Bryant, as well as their youngest daughter, Capri, so that she can proceed in her attempts to modify the NBA legend’s trust to include the 9-month-old baby.

My girls and I want to thank the millions of people who’ve shown support and love during this horrific time. Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them. We are completely devastated by the sudden loss of my adoring husband, Kobe — the amazing father of our children; and my beautiful, sweet Gianna — a loving, thoughtful, and wonderful daughter, and amazing sister to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately. There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now. I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon. I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way. Our love for them is endless — and that’s to say, immeasurable. I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever. Thank you for sharing your joy, your grief and your support with us. We ask that you grant us the respect and privacy we will need to navigate this new reality. To honor our Team Mamba family, the Mamba Sports Foundation has set up the MambaOnThree Fund to help support the other families affected by this tragedy. To donate, please go to MambaOnThree.org. To further Kobe and Gianna’s legacy in youth sports, please visit MambaSportsFoundation.org. Thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers, and for loving Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, Capri and me. #Mamba #Mambacita #GirlsDad #DaddysGirls #Family ❤️

A post shared by Vanessa Bryant 🦋 (@vanessabryant) on Jan 29, 2020 at 4:59pm PST

Capri was born when the arrangements were last amended.

While this is a standard move, it seems the filing was an attempt to speed things along because she’s not sure how the coronavirus epidemic will affect the courts.

The world has been rooting for Kobe Bryant’s widow ever since news of his tragic death alongside their daughter Gianna, and nine others broke. She shared a touching tribute to both of them at the public memorial at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles on February 24.

“First, I’d like to thank everyone for coming today. The outpouring of love and support that my family has felt from around the world has been so uplifting. Thank you so much for all your prayers. I’d like to talk about both Kobe and Gigi. I’ll start with my baby girl Gianna Bryant, an amazingly sweet and gentle soul,” she said at the packed event before describing her relationship with Kobe.

“He was mine. He was my everything. Kobe and I had been together since I was 17.5 years old. I was his first girlfriend, his first love, his wife, his best friend, his confidante and his protector,” she reflected.

“He was the most amazing husband. Kobe loved me more than I could ever express or put into words. He was the early bird and I was the night owl. I was fire and he was ice, and vice versa at times…We balanced each other out. He would do anything for me,” she continued. “I have no idea how I deserved a man that loved and wanted me more than Kobe.”

New York To Freeze Student and Medical Debt Payments

New York Attorney General Letitia James and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have announced New York State will not be collecting student or medical debt in an effort to help citizens during the coronavirus outbreak.

“Effective immediately, I’m temporarily halting the collection of state medical and student debt owed to [New York State] that was referred to my office,” James said in a tweet Tuesday. “In this time of crisis, I won’t add undue stress or saddle [New Yorkers] with unnecessary financial burden.”

In a follow-up tweet, James provided a link for New Yorkers with “non-medical or non-student debt owed to the State of New York” to apply for collections to be paused due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Cuomo added to James’ tweet Tuesday, saying all collections would be suspended for at least 30 days.

“As the financial impact of this emerging crisis grows, we are doing everything we can to support the thousands of New Yorkers that are suffering due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Cuomo added in a statement. “This new action to temporarily suspend the collection of debt owed to the state will help mitigate the adverse financial impact of the outbreak on individuals, families, communities, and businesses in New York State, as we continue to do everything we can to slow the spread of the virus.”

According to James, the freeze impacts 165,000 individual debts. James also added that after the 30 days expires, she will reassess the situation and determine whether the freeze needs to be extended.

The coronavirus outbreak is affecting millions across the country and is already leading to layoffs. President Trump, who said the outbreak could last through the summer, is working on a plan to make direct payments to citizens. The outbreak has lead to more than 241,000 cases and more than 10,000 deaths across the world and has affected everything from the stock market to food shopping.

Amazon Worker Tests Positive for Coronavirus, Customers Begin To Worry

After an Amazon warehouse worker tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this week, customers are beginning to wonder if the packages they are receiving from the retail giant may have the virus on them.

According to Fox Business, a study published last week determined that the coronavirus can live in the air for several hours and on cardboard for up to a day, leaving some Amazon customers worried about bringing packages inside their residence.

“For cardboard, I’ve been actually opening my packages outside,” Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier said Thursday. “I take scissors, I open it, and I empty the package outside. The cardboard never actually comes into our house.”

Dr. Saphier added people should “pretend that everything has the virus on it,” saying, “If you treat it that way, you’re going to give you and your family the best bet of not bringing it into your home.”

As for the individual who tested positive, Amazon said he is getting medical treatment and its cleaning processes in warehouses are being changed to deal with the virus.

“We are supporting the individual who is now in quarantine,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. “We have implemented proactive measures to protect employees including increased cleaning at all facilities, maintaining social distance, and adding distance between drivers and customers when making deliveries.

“In addition to our enhanced daily deep cleaning, we temporarily closed the Queens delivery station for additional sanitation and sent associates home with full pay,” the spokesperson added.

According to Saphier, the majority of cases happen from person to person contact. The New England Journal of Medicine said the virus can stay on copper for up to four hours and on plastic and stainless steel for up to 72 hours.

“The reason we’re seeing [an increase in] cases is likely because they believe it’s not only respiratory transmission, but it’s starting to aerosolize, which is why so many health care workers are getting it because it stays in the air longer.”

The coronavirus outbreak has affected the stock market, the job market and even rent payments. More than 200,000 people across the world have been diagnosed and more than 10,000 have died.
