I transitioned for five months before I did the big chop on May 5th 2012, now I'm starting off my natural hair journey! I'm looking forward to growing out my hair and I'd like to chronicle the experience. I decided to make a youtube channel because many wonderful women here have inspired and helped me and I hope that my videos can assist someone else!

I love your vibe so much 😂😂🙏🏼🙌💖💖 totally infectious sense of fun and play I couldn't help grinning by the end hehee
Haha, thank you so much!!! 😂 I had to rewatch this video to see since it was so long ago.
Hey sweetie. I hope all is well with you.
I'm good thank you for checking in I appreciate it so much! Had to take some time to recover and may return to making videos but not sure yet. How are you?
@@NaturallyBec You're so welcome. I'm glad you're doing well. I'm great! Thanks for asking. I look forward to your videos.
Thank you for keeping this so simple and to the point. I’m about 2 months in and I’m stressing because I don’t know what to moisture my starter locs with. Thanks for the video
Congratulations! You're welcome! I've switched over to vitamin D and rose water now. Mixing your own in a water bottle is so easy!
Hope you are recovering well from PV. My mother is just diagnosed with PV. Doctor prescribed steroids. Thanks for the information.
That really is a haul. Beautiful pieces. I love that huge bowl. I made pottery one time a long long time ago. It was fun.
Jameelah Greer It really is! I'd love to make some more again when I can. Seeing all the beautiful pieces inspired me.
Hope everything is going well on your side.
Jameelah Greer Thank you, I haven't been feeling well. Just starting to get my strength back today
Ooh pottery! Sounds like a great day.
Jameelah Greer It was really fun! I got a giant bowl!! I'm going to stuff my face in style!
You've got alot of great dreams. One of my dreams is to live off my own land. That would require a state but it's one dream. My "job" dream has definitely shifted into a new unknown direction.
Jameelah Greer That's awesome! I sure do, and more are always jumping on lol. I think living off your own land would be great!
Yep! I'm trying to enjoy life right now. Thanks for reminding me.
Jameelah Greer You're welcome! We all need the reminder sometimes
You live in Tornado alley! I guess thats just like living in an earthquake area. But That looks good. Perfect time for Airfryer.
Jameelah Greer That's the crazy part, we rarely get them here that's why nobody was taking it seriously ! I definitely need that air fryer now. I just saw a crispy tofu someone did with an air fryer too!
My library book sale is in two weeks! But Ill have to read some of your suggestions. Yup yup writing reading writing reading.
Jameelah Greer woohoo!!! I love a good library book sale! I hope you find lots of great books. And awesome, glad you're checking them out!! I am seriously addicted to books
That looks delicious! I remember 2 T flour 2 T of the butter and 1 cup milk for my sauce. Yummy. All about that basic roux.
Jameelah Greer Thank you and ohhhh yes!!!! That is the key to some yummy cheese sauce
I keep forgetting to use my rosewater. But I like your hair. I have always been extremely lazy my hair routine for the last 10 years. Shampoo and oil. Great update.
I need to buy some more rosewater now that I think about it. And thank you!! My wash days keep getting stretched out longer and longer from laziness even though it's so short right now it really only takes like five minutes lol. It's great that you keep yours simple!
I thought I missed your video! Books are a no no for me. Cause I'll read it all even if it's horrible haha. The last time I stayed up reading almost every night for a month straight. Going to bed at 4-5 am and waking up at 8-9am. And I had a 1 month old and a 2 year old. That was 4 months ago and I'm getting back into staying up later and later again. I keep forgetting about the melatonin. I need to get some for my husband and me.
Oh no! LOL I throw the horrible ones down in disgust and go to sleep. Reading is addicting though. I have a ridiculous collection of books that I am way behind on reading. Definitely get some melatonin!! I'm trying to get out of the habit of staying up late but I am such a night owl. I just feel so much more productive at night.
HAHA I'm scared. They sell Fart flavor by the pound at the Jelly Belly factory.
LOL WHYYYY just WHYYYY who buys that by the pound though??? Who is torturing people like this??? I nearly died tonight already by these flavors.
HAHA right you guys are tough. I'll never eat those but it is funny to watch. HAHA
Poor sister haha
LOL You're making the right choice!! Stay safe! Hopefully she'll be okay one day. She said she can still taste all the flavors poor thing. It was hilariously fun, but I don't think I should have let her talk me into it. Those flavors are just toooo realistic.
I've never thought of putting mushrooms in my greens!! That sounds good. I put alot of onions and garlic in my greens. I'm do lazy garlic cutting. Smash it with a knife. I have eaten half my greens piping hot from the pot. I cook my greens with a litle bit of water too. Sadly the greens at my grocery store looked bad so I didn't buy any.
It is soooo good! They are disappearing fast already! You definitely have to give it a try. LOL nobody has time to cut up those tiny things of garlic. Awww, I'm too bad your store didn't have any good ones.
Goodnight!!
Thanks!! I was passed outttt LOL sleeping is definitely way down on the list of my poor self care
That chocolate crash. Yea Self care not self worry. Caring is happiness right! That is hard. I currently take care of 2 little kids and I tend to not have time to self care.
For sure! I've been taking care of 2 kids, adding on a third tomorrow. It's why I sometimes post my videos so late. Adding in self care into the mix is for just laughable some days. I can squeeze in yoga sometimes with them jumping on my back and crawling all over me. It used to make it more stressful but now I try to laugh at when I can get in my sessions, I try to go with the flow and go for quality over quantity and time spent.
Good morning beautiful!
Queen Kahwanna Nashan Good morning! How have you been?
Great video topic!! I remember 10 years ago one of my aunt's was going through depression and talked about it. Her sister reacted negatively saying she was lying. I'm pretty sure that aunt was going through something too. But that incident showed me that people have "hidden" or masks and I should be open and listen and not judge because someone someday is going to want me o listen to them about what's hidden.. It's an interesting story.
Thanks!! Yes, they probably both were. Even though it is still a difficult thing for me to do, I try to remember the most negative of people are going through their own things too. I'm glad that you were at least able to take away something positive from what happened.
Cool. We dont have an Aldis in my area...state. You've reminded me to get mangos! Have you tried red lentils? Im vegetarian and eat alot of it.
Jameelah Greer aww too bad, I get a ton of my sales on fruits and veggies there. Yes!!! I LOVE red lentils I keep pounds of those in stock.
I cut my first set of dreads of in 2015. At first I did what you did and cut my hair short and had a little fro but than I saved my head. I started my second set in September 2016 and I haven't looked back since. You look good with a short cut. I'm excited to see your hair flourish.
Thank you! It's fun to play around with cuts first I think just so you can experience all the different looks and stages of your hair. Plus every set of dreads are sooo different it's amazing! Congrats on your amazing journey!
NaturallyBec Thank you. I enjoyed my bald h3ad and my short cut but most of all I fell in love my dreads.
Queen Kahwanna Nashan you're welcome. Definitely LOVE my dreads the best too. But I'm just enjoying how fast I wash and dry my hair at this stage lol.
Isn't shaving your hair feel great. You looked great in those fresh cut pictures! I like these talking to the camera videos.
Jameelah Greer Thank you! Yes, it feels amazing!!! So freeing!! I'm glad you enjoy them! I was feeling bad I haven't done any typical movement vlogs yet lol
NaturallyBec All types of videos are good videos. I did enjoy last years VEDA too.
Thanks! I appreciate it! I will be doing what I can to keep it switched it up this VEDA
The chicken nuggets look and sound good. I'm going to try them out.
Queen Kahwanna Nashan Mhmm! They just finished the rest off today. Enjoy, I loved them! I'm going to see how many non vegans I can fool with these lol
NaturallyBec I'll let you know when I make them. You and your sis make them look so good. I bet you can fool a lot of ppl.
Queen Kahwanna Nashan okay!! Spread the joy
I want an air fryer too. I like fried food but not the clean up. That looks good.
Jameelah Greer It was delicious! I hate feeling like the grease is personally out to splatter me lol. But seriously, air fryers are the best! We need them!!
What a great nurse!! Getting you on the right path. I
For sure! I went back and thanked her, she went above and beyond! Especially since I was just there to see a GI doctor.
It breaks my heart knowing you've been through so much. I'm happy to hear that you are doing better. After the veda last year I reached out to you. I'm not sure if you got my message but I'm so glad that you're back.
Queen Kahwanna Nashan Thank you so much. You know what I did get your message and it blessed me so much to see that someone cared. I was still so broken and saw your message and just cried not many people checked up on me when I went MIA so God bless you for showing me in a dark time that my life mattered!
NaturallyBec You're welcome. I really appreciate your comment.
Welcome Back! I cut my hair twice years ago before I started freeforming. One lady said "Oh...It will grow back."
Jameelah Greer thank you!! Haha, that's what I said to everyone who looked horrified. It's been fun and even more freeing for me
It's been a long time. I'm glad you're doing fine.
Queen Kahwanna Nashan Thank you! It's been a long journey but good to be back
So positive ❤️❗️
Marcus Bracks thanks! I try to send out positive vibes
Great locs!
I can freeform even if I put s curl in my hair?
Very Righteous, love the purple!!!
Thank you!!
Gm...I Thank you so much for your videos. I am scheduled for a RITUZAN treatment tomorrow for my pemphigus. Is that the treatment you took? And how is the pemphigus now. I'm so worried that this will cause other issues. But also in desperate need of relief. The only relief I've gotten is from steroids which long term is not good! please advice...Thanks in advance
You're welcome! I had a Rituxan treatment I believe, so it sounds like it's similar if not the same. Right now it is just on my scalp and yes. It did cause other health issues for me it is a very serious treatment but it did put my pemphigus into remission. It only comes up on my scalp when I'm stressed and I take probiotics now that's it. It's up to you what you want to do, I haven't had a full body flare since the Rituxan treatment but I also got Fibromyalgia afterwards. Sometimes I regret it but then I remember how desperate I was for relief from it.
Yeah that's my fear...the other illnesses that may come afterwards. I want to do it cuz boy am I suffering. the scary thing is the possibility of it causing other illnesses which I'm not looking forward to after dealing with Pemphigus. what probiotics do you use? And have you tried black soap or shea butter on your scalp. I've noticed it works for me even though I have to wash my hair almost daily.
Yeah, I was in the mindset of just doing whatever I could to beat the pemphigus. Now I have other things to deal with too, but at least the Pemphigus is mostly tamed. I did use Shea Butter but it was too heavy now that I have locs instead of loose hair. I just picked up one that had a high rating on amazon after reading some reviews, seems to do the trick. Anything that helps keep my scalp clear. Either way, you can make it through! I learned from another doctor that the pemphigus could have attacked my organs so I'm glad that it's mostly in remission now.
NaturallyBec Oh wow...other organs as well! I'm just gonna have to stay in prayer. I'm so indecisive on what I need should do. So many pros and cons...UGGGHHHHHHH! So what was the name of the probiotic you take?
Yes, apparently that's what happens if it just keeps progressing. They kept running xrays and CAT scans and I had to ask why. This one is called Nutrition Essentials probiotic. It doesn't have a lot in it but it was affordable and had good reviews and seems to do the job. Yes, definitely stay in prayer and I will keep you in mine!! I prayed long and hard before I got the treatment and was happy not to have many adverse side effects during it.
what is veda
It's Vlog Every Day in April
definitely beautiful craftmanship
do you have any dark skin one
I'm going to make the set of twins that I'm doing dark skinned, it's hard with how many layers it takes and I'm trying to mix new colors to get it the way I want it.
Cool cant wait

Thank you!
