The Locitude Blog!

Hello People, Last month was a good month for Locitude in the media, all thanks to Loc Appreciation Day :). A lot of loc heads have scolded me for not blogging as much as I used to considering this is where it all started. So, my mid year resolution is to keep the blog alive. :). If you are a blog reader you must know that I always like to digress before talking about the main subject matter. My heart goes out to my brothers and sisters of colour in the United States, the fight to be free seems to never stop as slavery has evolved into this ugly manifestations we see as police brutality. In Africa on the other hand, we have to deal with a different kind of slavery, mental slavery. Hope must not be lost, fight we all must, in every little way that we can till we are all free... Ok, let's lighten up the mood and talk about what you are really here for; "Are you fussing over your locs? I have the pleasure of meeting loc heads every day at the Locitude studio and there...

Hello people, Happy Eid Mubarak! The buzz around Loc Appreciation Day this year has been good and the response reassuring and I am more than grateful for the positive feedback on the event and the attention in the press. In this interview which aired live on Channels TV on Sunday the 26th of June, 2016, I had the opportunity of explaining what my locs mean to me and how I believe they should be perceived. Enjoy watching and I sincerely hope I represented us loc heads well. :). The interview is in two parts. On a lighter note, I didn't mean to blend into the back ground, that just kinda happened. The memo said not to wear grey, I thought yellow will pop against grey, then look what hapened, can you imagine? Let me know how I did. Your Loc Head, Ade.
