Philly Locks Conference

2015 will be the 21st year of the Annual International Locks Conference: Natural Hair, Wholistic Health and Beauty Expo. Just imagine 20 years of serving the community; 20 years of exchanging great information; 20 years of building, supporting, and helping to start new black businesses; 20 years of celebrating natural hair, our heritage, and our beautiful loving black families; 20 years of learning wholistic approaches to wellness; 20 years of serving as a model of self-determination and promoting our cultural expression and connections. Our plan is to expand the Locks Conference and maintain our international connections, while at the same time keeping the conference affordable, up-to-date, and as exciting, fun, informative, spiritual and family friendly as we have for the past 20 years. So in the spirit of Umoja, (unity) Ujima ( collective work and responsibility) and Ujamaa (cooperative economics) we are reaching out to all those who have enjoyed the experience and who want to see Annual International Locks Conference: Natural Hair, Wholistic Health and Beauty Expo continue; reaching out to all those who have never had the opportunity to attend but would like to help it to grow; reaching out to all those who understand the importance of maintaining and financially supporting such a vital cultural and educational institution that has served as a catalyst for healthy growth and development of similar conferences and a variety of businesses at home and abroad. Our goal is $35,000.00. “I am because WE are and, since we are, therefore I am.” Support the Locks Conference with your donations and let’s keep it going for another 20, 30, 40, or 50 years.
