Mississippi Natural Hair Expo
Mississippi Natural Hair Expo was founded in 2015. Due to limited natural hair resources in Mississippi, the expo was created to educate, inspire, and empower women who choose to wear their hair in its natural state. Our annual expo attracts hundreds of eager consumers who come to learn about the latest in natural hair care, beauty, products, and services. MSNHE has become a respected and valued voice in the natural hair community in Mississippi and beyond. Former keynote speakers include Monique Rodriguez CEO of Mielle Organics, cosmetic chemist Sister Scientist, Aisha Ceballos-Crump CEO of Honey Baby Naturals, and beauty influencer Romance Cox (Hey Curlie). Whether you’re natural, transitioning, thinking of becoming natural, or supporting a natural friend, this event is for you!

Bill Russell 1934 – 2022
Bill Russell, who spent many of his formative years in the Bay Area, was a true giant in the game of basketball, and more importantly, in the game of life. His championship resume, which included multiple State titles at McClymonds High School in Oakland, two NCAA championships at the University of San Francisco and a record 11 NBA titles with the Boston Celtics, might never be duplicated and solidifies his position as one of sports’ ultimate winners. But, while the accolades on the court were immense, it was his overall impact as a pioneer on multiple levels that will leave the greatest legacy from his iconic life and career.
