Hairdresser

In this image I attempted to cut and style my younger sisters weave. I have never cut hair but my one before so this was a bit of test. To my surprise it was a success, I went to show my mother and she told me I had done very well. I think the reason why I can do hair is because my mother is a hairdresser and because when Im not out or doing work she asks me to come help her I learn. I look up to my mum and I aspire to be like her because she is a very hardworking women. In a way I try to be like my mother with the hairdressing and everything and I enjoy it. I like to think of myself as a mini version of her.

Baby Priscilla

This is a baby picture of me when I had just come from Ghana, (I wasn't born in the UK). In this image I was about 6/7 months old. From a young age I always had a lot of hair, not to mention the fact i was a chubby baby. I think I looked more like my dad when I was younger but as I've grown I look more like my dad. I found this picture displayed inside the sitting room cabinet and decided to take a picture of it to add to my blog. I thought a baby picture would be a good way to show how I have changed but also in a way how I haven't. I'm always told my face never changes, and how I look exactly how I did when I was a baby.

Ghana Independence Day

Ghana independence day (6th March) happened to fall on a Wednesday of this year. On this day I decided I was going to represent my country to the fullest as it the 56th year of independence and as a Ghanaian I wanted to let everybody known that I am very proud of my image. I wore a Ghana flag around me to college, traditional cloth around my head and a customized t shirt translated in Twi saying "Ye Fr3 Mi Afua", which means they call me Afua. I had an induction on this day for my Primark job but I still dressed up in my Ghanaian gear to show of my country and changed in croydon to go to my interview. I uploaded this because I wanted to show how proud I am to be Ghanaian.

Mixing

In my spare time I make mix's. This is one of many things I can do. I like to think of myself as a mini DJ. I started of mixing because I use to burn Ghanaian songs on CD's for my dad and I wanted the songs to flow into one another. As i carried on using the mixer I would play with it in my spare time and try out new things on it such as different effects and filters. As time went my mixing just seemed to get better that I even started making mixes to listen to on my phone and play when I am at home. I enjoy mixing because I enjoying listening to music.

Real Hair

In this picture I am just showing my hair. This is my real hair and my hair is one feature of me that I am known for. People are always shocked when they look at my hair to find out it is my real hair. This is because African and Carribean people don't usually have long hair and I am fully Ghanaian so it is a shock to them. Throughout my 17 years of life my mother has been my hairdresser and is the reason why my hair is so long. Even though my mother has long hair, her hair isn't as long as mine. I'm like an exhibition of my mothers work to her customers.

Trainers vs Heels

When I was younger I was a bit of a tomboy, I wasn't really into the color pink, dresses or skirts. As I grew up I started realize maybe dresses and skirts aren't that bad. To my surprise the color pink even became one of my favorite colors. I took a picture with one foot in heels and one foot in trainers to show that, even though I'm not really a tomboy anymore I still love my trainers and wear trainers casually to college and maybe out or when I'm going out, to say Croydon, at the same time I love my heels and make sure I look nice when I am going out to dinner with my friends or to a party.

Year Book

While looking throwing away my old stuff i came across this book I made in year 11. This was supposed to be a year book because our school didn't do yearbooks at the time. This image is the front cover of my year book with old pictures of me from year 7-11. I thought it was funny to see how much I had grown. While looking through the book and looking at some hairstyles I found myself to be asking "what was I thinking?". I took a picture of this because these are old pictures of me which show what I've looked like throughout the years and I decided it represented me and how I've changed.
