Asante.A little about your #BeauyGuide and why Harlem and African " The Roots" Harlem is my home, I have fallen in love with the style and elegance of women who bring Harlem to life. I've discovered cool shops, and have had beautiful conversations with local women who share their passion for beauty. Their eyes light up when I mention I've traveled to Africa and loved their history and culture. With #Beautyexploring my own backyard I discovered the melting pot of Harlem that represents great countries within the Africa Continent. This a tour that focuses on meeting black-owned businesses making a difference. Join us for a day to explore and learn something new.
