#iilbdblc2019 Flahback _____ Ok, Fam 2021 International I Love Braids Day is coming. What I can tell you is that it will be back as a live in-person celebration!!! Please stay tuned right here, the official announcement is coming. Recapping the history behind International I Love Braids Day: I am so proud. This day means so much to me. To see this day go from a thought to fruition is heaven-made. I was once told I dream too big, my ideas are too lofty and I always reach for the tallest branch- as a dig. I only know how to dream big- had I not, this day- International I Love Braids Day would still be a thought and not an actual day of celebration. Thank you to @the.root for serving as a reliable news source for our community and the world at large. Thank you #Felice Leon for covering IILBD + BLCB.
