Reposted from @tginatural Special THANK YOU to the @nytimes and Tiffany Martinbrough for featuring @tginceo and tgin in their article “Black Women Making Waves.” 🙏🏽💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ An important snippet from the article: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Providing an example of strong, female entrepreneurship was equally important to Chris-Tia Donaldson, the founder and chief executive of TGIN: Thank God It’s Natural.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “You’re inspiring this next generation of Black women to sustain. All of this talent, for the longest time, would go to waste because we would get passed over for promotions. We’d get passed over for leadership and senior management and as the head of corporations. This movement has really given us the opportunity to take back our power.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Salute to all the girl bosses who have taken back their power and now running very successful companies that they own. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Her legacy will continue. 💕💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tgin #tginatural #ChristiaDonoldson #tginceo #4ccurls #4chair #4cnaturalhaircommunity #4cgals #4bhair #4ahair #naturalhair #naturalhairstyles #haircare #wavyhair #washngo #twistout #washday #deepcondition #shorthair #twa #hairstyles #moisture #restorehair #cgmethod #healthycurls #curlfriends #curlyhairtips #curlyhaircommunity #hairrepair #hairdamage https://www.instagram.com/p/CYVM9X7LXDf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Blessed to share a toast with my brand ambassador team at our holiday party this year. Last year, we had to cancel our party, because I learned the morning of the dinner that I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. But God...My health has since been restored and the company never ever missed a beat. I couldn't have done it without this incredible team of women! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to keep my dream alive. 🙌🏽 #tginceo #tgin #tginatural #tginholidayparty #chicago (at Wildfire Chicago)

People always ask how I knew/found out. I found a lump in my chest in like July/August of 2015 while showering. I thought it was nothing or something having to do with hormones or maybe a cyst. I kept waiting for it to go away. It never did, but at times I did think it was getting smaller. . . Finally after three or four months of being in denial, I made an appointment with my obgyn, but didn't tell them what it was for. I was toldd that I had to wait three weeks to see a doctor, but thanks to @noirebelle and @lorawhitticker I called back and said I had a lump in my chest and needed to see my doctor immediately . Once I had a chance to see the doctor, she did a physical exam and concluded that it was most likely nothing given that it was a soft mobile mass, my age (36) and family history. Still she ordered a mammogram just to be safe. #breastcancer #breastcancermonth #breastcancersurvivor #blackwomengetbreastcancer #youngwomengetbreastcancer #morethanpink #susangkomen #tgin #tginatural #tginceo #thisisonlyatest

So I'm a day late. Okay, it's breast cancer month. This year, I had breast cancer. . I don't want to be "cancer girl", but I do want to educate and inspire women to take action when it comes to their bodies. Sometimes we want to move on from the things that hurt us instead of unpacking them and sitting with our feelings, because no one wants to remember the sad times. Yes, this is emotional for me. . So, I hope that a little insight into my journey may help someone who is dealing with breast cancer (or any kind of challenge) now or in the future. So, here we go. Raw. Real stuff. I like to call my journey "This is Only A Test: What Breast Cancer Taught Me About Business, Faith, Love and Hair" #breastcancer #breastcancermonth #breastcancersurvivor #blackwomengetbreastcancer #youngwomengetbreastcancer #morethanpink #susangkomen #tgin #tginatural #tginceo #thisisonlyatest

Photo shoot at Whole Foods today to celebrate the grand opening of the new Englewood store opening in Chicago. . It seems like just yesterday we were struggling to complete all the paperwork and navigate the Whole Foods ingredient standards, but we did it. . . Shout out to my amazing assistant Kristin for figuring things out and keeping at it, even when we just didn't have a clue. As I always tell my team, "figure it out". If I don't know the answer to their question, then I trust and have faith that they have everything they need to get to the bottom of the situation. #tginwholefoods #wholefoods #tgin #tginatural #tginceo (at Whole Foods)
