Happily Natural Day is a means through which people of African descent can raise their collective consciousness & awareness by uniting in the effort to demolish the inferiority complexes that have developed throughout the African Diaspora due to our

other cultural groups to be enlightened. Happily Natural Day is a celebration of black consciousness whose main purpose is promoting the importance of raising black consciousness and African awareness throughout the Black Diaspora to combat the
debilitating psychological effects of the white supremacy on African people worldwide. Happily Natural Day is designed to do away with the damaging mindsets that have been created by conformity, assimilation and acceptance of and to the tenets of white supremacy in the United States and abroad.Join us for a three-day lecture series with emphasis on black consciousness, natural hair care and holistic health, spoken word poetry, hip-hop, and neo-soul edutainment with a vendor marketplace. Special guests include Del Jones - The War Correspondent, Reverend Phil Valentine - Metaphysical scholar and founder of the Temple of the Healing Spirit, Malaika Cooper - founder of the Baltimore Natural Haircare Expo, Yvette Smalls- Director of the Independent film Hair Stories, Linda Jones founder of A Nappy Hair Affair, musical guest neo-soul vocalist Afi plus many more special guests all geared toward black liberation.
