EDITOR’S LETTER
Hello Curlfriends ,
I am so excited to deliver this issue to you all! So much love and
creativity was put into producing this issue and I can’t wait for you
to read it…
Let’s start with the fabulousity that is our #CoverCurl, Nicole Ari
Parker. I had the pleasure of attending the shoot, and we had
a ball! Working with this beauty was effortless. We chatted
about relationships, family, and even new business ventures
ffee
Monifa Co
(I still want my 10% *inside joke*)… She is truly an amazing
spirit, and her interview will have you wanting more of Mrs.
Parker!
TXTURE also got to team up with some IG faves, like shooting
with Creative Soul photography for our “Tristin & Tyler-Lil Naturals”
shoot. As well as highlighting our sexy, “Men with TXTURE,”
Bachelor’s edition (Girl Yeaaassss!).
You know we couldn’t leave out the artistry that is TXTURE! We
got a chance to feature one of the dopest artists
Felix Natal
of our generation, Mr. Knowledge Bennett. He
is the modern day Andy Warhol with a touch of
Black Swag, this man is on FLEEK!
Nicole &
Hairstyli
Last but not least, this summer is sure to bring
st
many loves, lost and gained, so we pay homage
