May Gathering Guest Host Cindy Tawiah- "Her Story Is Our Story"

Here at BOND, we are so very excited to host our next BOND Gathering “Her Story” May 17th in Baltimore, MD.  In the past nine years or so we’ve had some pretty amazing Gatherings if I must say so myself. Some of which we still bring up this very day. Our motto is “not every BOND Gathering is the same” so it’s a must that you attend more than one to understand what we mean by this statement.  Nevertheless, we believe that this upcoming Gathering will go down in history as being one of our all time favorite Gatherings.  We are predicting that “Her Story” will trump many of them.

We are so excited to have the opportunity to interview our special guest host, Ms. Cindy Tawiah.  We are honored that she will be sharing her unique gifts during our May Gathering. Cindy has an extensive background in nursing, reiki, healthy hair care just to name a few.   Most of all, Cindy is gifted in empowering women.   There aren’t enough words to express just how gifted she really is. However we can tell you this much, you must come witness it for yourself and then you’ll understand why. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.

BOND Girl: Tell us a little bit about you?

Cindy: My name is Cindy and a creative introduction to Chemistry changed my life and helped start my journey. My passion is women and beauty and my purpose is inspiring and empowering women…wait… there is more, and it will be revealed on the 17th of May.

BOND Girl: How significant is it for others to share their personal stories?

Cindy: We all have a story, a journey. We have all faced, despair, and hope, adversity, triumph, pain, joy. Our experiences shape our outlook on life, but should not define who we are. We cannot begin to heal the wounds of our past if we don’t acknowledge and speak about what it was and how it made us feel then and how we feel now. We continue to hemorrhage in all aspects of our life until we heal what’s been eating at our core…

BOND Girl: Cindy, if you could set the stage for the “Her Story Gathering”.  What should our guest expect for that evening?  

Cindy: Guests should expect: The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, as will not only set us free, but will help us become, healthy, happy and whole.

BOND Girl: What kind of topics do you expect that our guests will hear May 17th?

Cindy: Topics will centre around each woman’s journey: From feelings of insecurities, fear (in moving forward with our hopes and dreams), topics about how we uplift ourselves and what and who we turn to when we need inspiration to go on i.e. continue our journey.

BOND Girl: Are there any benefits when others are able to share their own personal story?   What are they? Are there any drawbacks?  

Cindy: The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. The drawbacks maybe re living certain past traumas.

BOND Girl: What advice would you give those women who don’t feel comfortable sharing their stories in a room full of women many of which may be complete strangers?

Cindy: That s quite alright, not everyone is extroverted, or ready to reveal who they really are. They can turn to a confidante or journal to pour out their feelings. Remember speaking, acknowledging and sharing are all cathartic and help us to heal. It is like feelings of nausea. We always feel better when we throw up…

BOND Girl: Who do you think should attend and who could really benefit for such a powerful undertaking as this?

Cindy: Anyone and everyone, we as women go through so much and hold onto so much. We need a ‘Heal a Diva Day such as this’

BOND Girl: Are there any other thought’s you’d like to share with our readers?  

Cindy: Yes, let’s make it a day to heal mind, body and soul. I am open and available to any and all who need help with this process and take a personal  interest in helping any and everyone who desires to manifest and live life to their fullest potential.  I may be reached on: 443-465-2333, email is: shadesofu@shadesofu.net and for any one experiencing hair loss, shedding, breakage, dryness or any other hair issues, log onto: www.divabycindy.com. You can also send me a question via ask Cindy on the website. I am here for you.

Please be our invited guest. Every woman should try to attend at least one BOND Gathering in her life. There’s nothing else like it. Be sure to RSVP well in advance. Seats are just $5 which includes your entrance, refreshments and any handouts we may provide.

Natural Hair Agenda Series: Time Saving Hairstyling Tips

If you are like me and find yourself always rushing to get out the door in the morning, the last thing you need to worry about is styling your hair. The following hairstyling tips should help.

When it comes to washing hair, a great time saving tip is to prepare your hair for washing the night before you wash. Take down, detangle and pre-poo at night and then wash and style in the morning.
When it comes to styling, you can achieve beautiful natural hairstyles without spending hours doing them. Simple styles like chunky/curly fros, updos, puffs and wash-in-gos are easy to do and can be done minutes before you leave the house. For textured looks, aside from wash-n-gos, spritz your hair with water at night, and put in 8 to 10 large braids or twists.  

Depending on how long you want your texture to last, you may want to add an alcohol-free gel, curly pudding or hair milk. In the morning when your hair is dry unbraid or untwist. You can then just add a headband for a puff, put a twist on either side and pin them back and wear the back out, or put your hair in an updo.

Styling your hair at night or even the week before is a great way to save time. Small Two-strand twists and box braids are my favorite time saving hairstyles. Although it may take 4 hours or longer to put them in, once they are in they are very versatile, can be rinse and or washed and can last for months.

Two-in-one styles are also great time savers. You can make two-in-one styles from styles such as box braids, two-strand twists, flat twists and even wash-n-gos. Braids and twists can be transformed into so many styles, including updos, buns, braid-outs and twist-outs. Wash-n-gos can be transformed into textured puffs, and updos as well.
