Black women: How do I get glowing skin and healthy hair growth without salons, spas, or chemicals?

Hello. This is Dr. A. Breeze Harper of the Sistah Vegan Project. I have been complimented often about how much my hair grows and how much my skin glows. I do not go to hair salons, spas, and nor have I worn make-up for about 18 years. I have also been asked for years, to offer quick and basic classes to teach women my secrets. Well, I have finally decided that I feel comfortable enough to transition the Sistah Vegan Project into a non-profit and start offering basic interactive webinars that teach you what I have learned. Even though all are welcomed to attend, this particular course will be focused on the specific needs of Black women and girls.

Dr. A. Breeze Harper without make-up, age 37, May 2013.

Growing your hair and having a natural (i.e. afro) is possible through holistic methods. In this webinar, I will teach you what foods and herbs you can take, as well as put on your hair and scalp, that will help your hair grow, become stronger, and healthier.  I will also focus a portion of this webinar to growing you hair back, after giving birth. Postpartum hair loss is all too common amongst women. I know women who had children 2 or 3 years ago and continue to have hair loss and thinning problems. With a few tips from me, they were able to grow their hair back.The second part of this webinar will teach you about the herbs, foods, and topical treatments I use to achieve glowing and healthy skin. I was able to cure my ‘incurable’ eczema and tackel my constantly dry and ashy skin.

Date: June 30, 2013 Time: 10:00 am PST

Cost: $30.00

Space: 30.

Beyond “Cruelty-Free”: Critical Race and Decolonial Approaches to USA Ethical Consumption

Webinar Available for Purchase 

Beyond “Cruelty-Free”: Critical Race and Decolonial Approaches to USA Ethical Consumption

Dr. Amie Breeze Harper

Instructor: Amie Breeze Harper, PhD

The above refers to a Webinar available that I video-recorded. I also provide a Powerpoint presentation and notes for your refer to. It is approximately 2 hours long (1 hour lecture, 1 hour Q&A) and now available for purchase for $9.99. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PRE-RECORDED LECTURE.

How to Purchase and View: Please pay with the PayPal link here. Once I receive the payment, you will receive an email with a link to the Webinar that you can view as many times as you would like. Please email me at breezeharper (at) gmail (dot) com if you have any questions. If  the PayPal link above does not work, you can pay by clicking on the Click here to make a donation by PayPal link on the right of the page.

Webinar Description:

It seems like everyone is talking about ethical consumption in some way, shape, or form. And it also seems like there isn’t a universal agreement on what is ‘ethical’. Some folk think eating animals is ‘ethical’, as long as the animal didn’t suffer living in confined quarters and was ‘free range.’ Some folk think veganism is the way to go, but don’t think about the humans who may labor in cruel conditions to provide them their vegan foods, or the humans and non-human animals who are displaced to source ‘cruelty-free’ palm oil for vegan butter for example.

This webinar will help you think more critically about how you consume, why you consume, and how to alleviate suffering through mindful consumption that is pro-vegan. This webinar will acknowledge that all people are different and that due to racial, class, and geographical privileges (or lack there of), access to ‘ethical consumption’ varies.

In this pro-vegan oriented critical thinking course, I will teach you how and why you should consider how structural racism, classism, neoliberal capitalism, normative whiteness, and ableism affect what you think is ‘ethical consumption’, ‘healthy,’ and ‘perfect body.’ Upon finishing this webinar, you will have a better understanding of how to think critically about being a vegan consumer that is both mindful of non-human animal suffering and the suffering and pain that structural ‘isms’ (such as racism, sexism, etc) cause to human beings who labor throughout the food chain. You will be able to bring this information to your organizations, friends, and family in a way that is compassionate and loving, not shaming or judgmental. Though there are many human injustices that the global food economy relies on, this webinar will pay close attention to the under-represented topics of how structural racism/whiteness operate within a neoliberal capitalist driven consumer economy in the USA. This webinar is not about finding one sole solution to ‘ethical consumption’. Instead, this webinar will help plant the seed for more critical thinking in your consciousness and allow you to then self-train yourself on how to determine what pro-vegan ethical consumption lifestyle, principles, or philosophies best suit your own social, geographical, and financial statuses. This self-training will always be a process that is neverending. You will become better at it each day; this webinar will plant the seed to get you started. For example, once you learn about the human slavery used to produced certain cocoa products, this will engender you to think about the source of your vegan cotton and then research if people are exploited to produce a supposedly ‘cruelty-free’ product.

Update on my tuition fees and ethical consumption webinar

I just wanted to briefly update people about my campaign to raise funds for my tuition and fees for the fall 2012 academic quarter…

…. thank you so much!  I got everything I needed as of last night (with the assumption that those who have pledged to mail me a check are able to do so).

Thank you everyone for your support and believing in my doctoral studies.

Today I also gave my first webinar (the original date of Aug 2012 had been canceled due to a family emergency). It went quite well. Below are the details of what I talked about for 1 hr 30 minutes and then a 30 minute discussion and Q&A. I used video and audio, as well as powerpoint to present the ideas below.
