After watching BBC2's segment featuring a conversation about 'Black Twitter', I couldn't agree more with Immanuella of Diamond Hair UK that although there are negatives, there are also positive connotations attached to Black Twitter'. Many young people are utilising social media in general to showcase their talents, which has brought publicity and in some cases a source of income for them.
Here are some I think you should check out:
Precious touch is both a mobile and salon based hairdressing service, which caters to people in London and in several other areas in the UK. I've worked with Precious on a Fashion Shoot in the past where she delivered beautiful hairstyles in the most friendly and professional way. Check them out at @Precioustouch
Now known as Sure Moments Media following a rebranding, they specialise in photography. Mr Tolaloluwa (founder) also dabbles in logo design and production. He provided the MoChunks Show logo, following my requirements. He really brought my ideas to life. Check him out at @suremomentsmedia.
