So I started this channel about a year ago as primarily a vlog about my hair. However, in the words of India Arie: "I am not my hair, but the soul that lives within." Although I'm still going to be active in the natural hair community, I want to branch out and explore new territory, and discuss universal topics that many could relate to.

My daily mantra for 2011 is inspired by my initials: "To get more ... B MO." I'm a sistah girl with BIG dreams, but to make those dreams a reality I have to improve my mind, body, and spirit. That's where the POWER OF B MO comes in. This is a lifestyle channel for people of all races and ethnicities that want more out of life. More importantly, this is for people who are done with dreaming, and want the real deal by attracting what they want by becoming what they want.

To Get More, These are My Five B MOs:

B MO Positive
B MO Driven
B MO Healthy
B MO Confident
B MO Grateful

I talk about my distant ancestry in my vid "Who is Afrostory?" However, for my immediate background, my father is Jamaican and mother is African American. I am a Florida born girl :)

I have a fine arts background, but I'm currently earning my PhD in anthropology.

Since I was around nine years old. A lot of people inspired me, but it was my 4th grade teacher that noticed my talent and told me, "To never stop writing." I listened.

love, love your channel! thought I'd pass by and say hello and to say how much I enjoy watching your channel. I love your stuff on anthropology, as I have an interest in it too. Wonderful! I am also a dancer( Flamenco/Middle Eastern dance) and writer ( and a teacher of English as a second language). I have been natural since the 1990's ( well before Youtube) but most of my life, I have been natural, except for three years of relaxing. My favourite style is mini twists, whch are nearing bra strap length! Will look out for your books!

Thanks for the invaluable advice on black natural hair. And I love your integrity, high and searing intelligence and ability to state the obvious ( loved the video on No such thing as African American hair)- people reach a comfort zone and need to be challenged and woken up. Keep going and have a fab weekend! xx

Hey AFR0ST0RY I see you are interested in Natural/Curly hair. I would like to invite you to look at my channel. I do tutorials and talk about natural hair which I like to call Textured hair. My approach is to show how to be glamourous with it and yet healthy! I am a licensed Cosmetologist who actually wears her hair in it's natural state. I hope I sparked your interest and I hope you will subscribe. Thanks and Take Care!
