Play With It - a Coffee Table Book & Documentary by Vaughn Dabney

Many of you have seen me tweet about the upcoming documentary and coffee table book by Vaughn Dabney called "Play with It." If you are not quite sure what I am talking about, let me give you the run down. A friend of mine put me in touch with Vaughn a few weeks ago and asked me to check out his Kickstarter page. At first I was kind of hesitant but then she mentioned that he would be writing a book and making a documentary on natural hair so, of course I was on board immediately after that. It's rare that you see a man taking initiative to spread the love and knowledge of natural hair, especially a man of color so I was beside myself after watching his video and reading up on his goals for the project.

From Play with It Kickstarter:

What is this project about?

"This project is about shedding light on the natural hair movement and why certain women either embrace or reject the notion of natural hair.

Using photography and film as my media, I will attempt to debunk myths, uncover hidden desires, and bring forth truths about women with natural hair."

Vaughn is actually from my neck of the woods but resides in Atlanta, GA. I had the pleasure of meeting him this past weekend to discuss the project and the fantastic giveaway that he will be hosting here on the Good Hair Blog. You may even see little ol' me in the book and documentary! What Vaughn is doing is spectacular and I really want you all to take the time out and support him. I've donated to his Kickstarter and I also have bookmarks (if anyone wants some let me know) that I have been mailing to fellow naturals across the country. Even if you don't have money to give share the word via Twitter with the hashtag #PlaywithIt to get more buzz going and be sure to follow him HERE. I have a feeling that this project is going to be beyond epic!
