Over the weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Emerging Aritist showcase featuring fine and talented artists throughout the Washington DC area. Among the artist featured was Mr. Lawrence Green of Time Traveling Media. Lawrence is the filmmaker of the documentary Kinks, Locs and Love. Kinks, Locs and Love focuses on African American women sharing stories of personal natural hair journies. It takes and in depth look of the realities of making the decision to go from relaxed to natural. The film captures how we feel about our hair, social standards of beauty, life style changes and conciousness. 
Lawrence first had the idea to document the "natural hair movement" from observing his wife and the different situations she goes through on a daily basis. Over time the idea blossomed into Kinks, Locs, and Love. Capturing footage of an actual Big Chop (BC), fashion shows, hair shows and interviews of natural women. A short viewing was shown at the Emerging Artist showcase and it was wonderful. I cannot wait for the completion of the documentary. I will assure you that once it is complete I will let you know where to see it and if purchasing will be available. This will be a wonderful film for anyone's collection.
