Curlfest: Third time attendee, first time blog poster. Curlfest is an annual event in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park organized by Curly Girl Collective celebrating natural hair and beauty. And the celebration keeps growing with more sponsors and more activities. Spike Lee was in attendance this year to discuss his upcoming She’s Gotta Have It Netflix series.

Curlfest has jumped to the top of my favorite NYC events. Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by pretty women who like to be photographed? But all jokes aside, it’s a place filled with love and support. I had a good time seeing friends, familiar faces, and meeting new people.

Of course as soon as I left, I realized I had spent all day with the exposure settings on my camera a little too high. But I managed to get some good shots regardless.
