7th Annual Happy Nappy Day

 

(Written By Lisa Berrien) - One of the biggest events known to Baltimore, Happy Nappy Day is in it's 7th year and shows no signs of slowing down. Malaika Cooper founder of this soulful and fun filled day welcomes all the positive energy and relaxation in the world to none other than Gwynn Oak Park in Baltimore, Maryland. For seven years Malaika has found a way to combine the arts, natural hair care, and beauty into one all out day of fun and freedom to all who want to partake.

In the beginning Happy Nappy Day and Poetry in the Park were separate events that eventually were merged together into a powerhouse of positive expression, and ideals of holistic beauty. Just last year the event included the "God Father of Poetry" legendary Gill Scott Heron sharing his prose with an audience that has now grown to 6,000 plus people, all wanting to experience the positive energy that flows through Baltimore on Happy Nappy Day. When asked what the drive is to produce an ever growing event like this Malaika simply replied, "So many days we spend just sitting in an office, or home doing this and that, I wanted to get back to that green energy, reminding people of the freedom around us."

Happy Nappy Day encourages all women, men, and children to come and experience the feeling of natural beauty and personal expression that will be in the air on July 11, 2010 at Gwynn Oak Park Baltimore, MD. Currently Malaika Cooper is on the road spreading the word of natural hair care through a series of Natural Hair Expo's that are taking place in Baltimore, Cleavland, North Carolina with an appearance from Miss NC herself (who is also endorses natural hair care), and other locations across the map.
