CELEBRATING 5 YRS OF THE GREEN NEWS GUIDE

SNSolutions and Green News Guide  originally began as a passion project. I had started a youtube channel focused on natural living and hair a few years prior and decided to form a website that offered information and news focused on the green lifestyle. At first, it was an extension of my former channel until I decided to stop making videos and focus solely on growing the Green News Guide audience through the original website.

Book Review: Reach for the Skai by Skai Jackson

All adult “big kids at heart" will certainly know who Skai Jackson is. Yes, I admit to being a past twenty something year old who would often indulge in shows like Disney’s ‘Jessie!' When I first began watching Jessie, (which was my younger sibling's favorite television show), I would always think to myself—who’s that cute little brown girl with the ever perfect head of beautiful natural kinky hair?! I had never seen a young black child actress like her who embraced their natural hair the way that she did! In her book, Skai outlined in great detail who exactly was behind her unique look (momma Kiya) and why she wanted her daughter to learn to embrace her natural hair. It was truly an honor to meet Skai at her “Reach for the Skai” book release event. I purchased two copies, one for my younger sister and niece. I’m always so ecstatic to see a young brown girl like Skai winning and am so happy to support her. Now can we talk about the beautiful book cover shot by Jessie Eng
