Welcome! Welcome!

So after being in construction for nearly a month, welcome to Harlem Loves re-envisioned!

In my 'Everything's changing' post I mentioned the need to simplify. So this is it, the first step towards that and reconnecting my blog with the evolving viewpoint of a 30-something year-old pursuant of an abundant life, but what does that mean?

About Harlem?

With her first byline appearing in the Observer aged 12, Harlem's media career has spanned 20 years and includes working for Virgin Media, BBC and Pride Magazine.

Today, Harlem is a freelance social media consultant helping businesses build their online presence (clients include Virgin Media and ADRA-UK) and co-owns Love Harlem natural hair care which she founded with her sister.

Why Harlem?

She's Harlem by name rather than location.

Harlem is in fact a nickname given to her by a friend one day.

Her curly do was vintage enough to remind him of the Harlem Renaissance and so from that day on she became affectionately known as Harlem.
