The Center for Aesthetic Modernism is dedicated to nurturing the "whole person" through a celebration of beauty, spirituality, and culture. We stand ready to shape and embrace a new era of aesthetic consciousness, one based on cultural sensitivity and individuality. Hair and face are the most visible expressions of this unique self-identity. We strive to enhance authentic beauty through restoring youthful facial contours, growing healthy hair, and optimizing nasal balance.

The Afro Modern
Feb 23, 2012 6:24 PM

There is a universal restorative energy that I feel daily.  The physical transformation of Viola Davis offers us a visual indicator of an inward journey to self liberation and the inner building of identity.  These stunning images from the LA Times celebrate her beauty as the new cultural avant garde.  Every individual has the creative capacity to align themselves with their own TRUTH and authentic self. 

If you haven’t already, please take the time to listen to the Oprah interview with Davis.  She describes her relationship with weaves and wigs as a “crutch” that proved not to be healthy.  The Afro may once again signal a new kind of modernity. . .simple, elegant, versatile, healthy  and beautiful.   Physical Beauty when enhanced in a culturally sensitive manner opens a doorway to the infinite power of your own authentic consciousness.
