Daarnaast zijn As I Am producten verkrijgbaar bij verschillende fysieke winkels en drogisterijen die gespecialiseerd zijn in natuurlijke haarverzorging.

As I Am Haarverzorgingsproducten zijn ontworpen om makkelijk in elke haarverzorgingsroutine te passen, of je nu net begint met natuurlijke haarverzorging of al ervaring hebt. Veel mensen gebruiken eerst een milde shampoo of co-wash, gevolgd door een hydraterende conditioner. Daarna kun je een leave-in of stylingproduct aanbrengen om je krullen te definiëren en vocht vast te houden. Bij Beauty Source raden we aan om rustig te experimenteren en te kijken hoe je haar reageert, want consistentie is vaak belangrijker dan het aantal producten dat je gebruikt.

De producten bevatten voedende ingrediënten zoals sheaboter, kokosolie en plantenextracten, die helpen om het haar te hydrateren, te verzachten en te beschermen tegen schade. As I Am biedt een breed scala aan producten, van shampoos en conditioners tot stylingproducten, die je krullen definiëren en de frizz onder controle houden. Bij Beauty Source kun je alles vinden wat je nodig hebt om je natuurlijke krullen te verzorgen en te versterken.

My ranking; a light-to-moderate proceed with caution.

My reasons

Apart from one major nitpick, this organization seems to do everything right. It is founded by an autistic person and there are several autistic people on the board, some of them young (I believe the youngest was 19) and some older (I think he looked 60-70,) and everyone else, apart from the financial advisors, seems to have a long history in autism. Short of paying a couple hundred dollars to read books they've published, my research doesn't lead me to conclude the allistic members should cause concern. They actively criticize ABA and warn parents away from any "treatments" (and yes, they put "treatments" in quotation marks exactly like I do) that seek to make someone appear less autistic. All articles I viewed are written in a way that suggests they were written by autistic people, though I am unable to verify if the authors are actually autistic. I can find no red flags in their practices, research, or hiring

However

This is my only worry, but this organization links multiple worrying sources in their directory and follows multiple worrying sources on their social medias- one of these being NAS, which I also did a post about. However, I should stress that this is my only issue. However, they follow just as many, if not more, positive sources.

Erika Olson doesn’t define her music under any specific genre, though when pressed, she calls it “folk with a beat.” Her music spans folk, pop, americana, indie, and even blues and country. 

Rooted in the stuff of ordinary life, Erika’s songs bear witness to the glorious and devastating moments that can only be seen when we slow down. She sings to look deeper, see clearer, and know better. Her songs are similar to Brandi Carlile’s in substance and story while her voice is a folksier version of Adele meets Brandi Carlile. 

Her new single, “As I Am,” is an adult contemporary pop ballad about how people change with time and how we are shaped by our experiences. Subsequently, this affects our relationships. Children, careers, big moves, these are all big complicating events that force people to change. “I wanted to explore this changing nature of people, love and relationships, and yet honor that we still carry parts of those younger years with us,” shares Erika. “It is a bittersweet reflection on an evolving love between two committed partners.” 

“As I Am” is a grown up love song that started out as a cry to be seen for who she was becoming. But as the song evolved, Erika heard two aching hearts crying out the same cry: to be seen, heard, and understood for the new people they were. The male vocals in the song were lended by Dan Raza, a good friend of Erika and a talented musician. His addition gives the song depth, as it becomes more of a duet between two changed people.

Before having kids, Erika thought she had found her calling in a busy litigation practice and pro bono work. She was loving it, but then she had her first baby, who was born 5 weeks early. She was struggling to adjust to work and being a mom. So, 5 months after the birth of her son, she quit her job to be a full time mom. 

While that was fine for a time, she started to feel like she was losing herself, she didn’t recognize the woman looking back at her in the mirror. She took up songwriting and music to connect who she was to who she was becoming. This is why her music is so raw; this is why her music is so gripping.
