In 2004, I Debby ,found myself living in the beautiful country of South Africa. It was such an exciting and wonderful place and the people were very welcoming. I met many African American people. In particular the women were especially friendly. I went all over South Africa, which included Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and north of all those places. They have wonderful indoor and outdoor markets everywhere you go.  I went to a market and seen the Hairmagic product. A lady was displaying the product to me on how it worked, how many different styles I could do my hair up with it, and showed me all the beautiful and different colors of the beaded hair combs. I was so intrigued by this comb I thought I have to bring it to Canada and introduce it to the Canadian women here. I loved it at first sight. I was so excited with it, my friend who is African American found the owner of the Hairmagic Company for me.  We went to visit her and her family; we were welcomed with open arms.  I met the African women who were making the combs. They were happily chatting at a large table making the combs. There was food and drinks in the middle of the table for them to enjoy. The women were smiling at me and showing off the product they were making. They were excited to learn about Canada and wanted me to tell them all about our country. Knowing they have such talent I wanted to let the rest of the world know about this wonderful product that I had discovered. 

I met a lot of wonderful and very friendly people in Africa and am very happy and proud to show the Canadian public the talent these people really have.
