My Story: Creative Director Josef Adamu on the Power of Telling Untold Narratives

Meet Josef Adamu, a creative director who splits his time between Toronto and New York, and who started his own creative agency, Sunday School, from his Toronto basement back in 2017 which has since grown to a team of four. Here, he shares, in his own words, his company’s mission and what fuels him creatively.

On growing up:

“My parents are Nigerian and they came to Canada in ’89. I was born a few years later in Toronto, and my family bounced around a lot between Toronto and Brampton. I even lived in Calgary, Alberta for one year as well. I’ve always been in a Black space for the most part, meaning I’ve always lived in areas where there was a highly concentrated Black or South Asian community. That was beautiful to me. And I always took note of things. Like, when I went to friends’ houses, I was very inquisitive about where their parents were from. I’ve always been that friend that was questioning everything and I’ve always documented it. When I went to the hair salon, I took note of things. When I went to play basketball with friends, I took note of things. I’ve always made mental notes. And, honestly, those experiences play into what I’m doing now.”

On what he does professionally:

“Creative director, entrepreneur, visual storyteller. I run a creative agency that brings different creatives together to work on campaign projects, and partner with other companies on projects, that bring to life untold narratives. I do dabble in a bit of photography and a bit of consulting, but creative direction is the overarching element. I spent about two to three years prior to 2017 studying the game — learning about the best photographers in the industry, learning about the spaces in which I could fill as a creative — and then eventually started Sunday School.”

On his agency, Sunday School, and the company’s DNA:

“It’s a creative agency that focuses on telling narratives from a Black perspective, and integrating art and education at its core. And we do that through stories that are often untold, overlooked, or not as amplified. And when I say Black perspective, I mean Black at the forefront. The stories we tell are not only Black ones, but they’re Black-centred because there are a lot of companies that don’t include these narratives at all. And I’m not going to lie: Sunday School is everything I’ve ever wanted. Being from the background I come from, my upbringing, the kind of spaces I’m used to taking up — this is a complete reflection of what I stand for. And you know what they say, ‘Be the person that you never had.’ And I never had this. I wanted to make sure that the next generation after me could be super inspired about what I’m doing, but also find and see ways to make it possible for themselves.”

A still from Sunday School’s REPRESENTATION MATTERS series. Photography by Jeremy Rodney-Hall.

On what inspired the idea for Sunday School and how the company has evolved:

“I started it out of frustration. I wanted to see change in the space I was working in; change in an industry that was very linear and that didn’t include much room for my community. There wasn’t ideal space for this type of content, for these type of campaigns, especially here in Canada. So I created one. I had no real goals at first; we were just having fun with the idea of visual storytelling. But then in 2018 I was like, let me put my foot down and set actual, intentional direction with this company: register it, do all that good stuff. See if we could create something long lasting and that will attract corporate-level interest. And we’re at a point now where we don’t just take on any project. Everything is completely centralized and intentional by constantly finding ways to integrate art with knowledge. Like, what can you gain from this? How can you teach a friend? For example, a lot of people don’t know about Africa’s different components and its regions. So, if we can use our platform to show people just how beautiful Africa is, and how all these different parts come together and coincide to make up the continent, then we’re teaching through the work we do. And that’s exactly what we set out to do.”

On the name Sunday School:

“So, I grew up in the church, and if you know anything about church, Sunday school is the youth service that the kids go to. It’s a class where you learn about the word of God, but you also come together and really unite with kids your age: you get to speak like them and you create like them. And I’ve always found that admirable because you really get the opportunity to be more yourself. So I took that as a metaphor for creativity and how, with me, every project I work on is collaborative. You’re always working with a team, and you have all these different ideas, opinions, values and backgrounds that come together to create something beautiful, like a photographer, a videographer, a creative director, and a makeup artist. And then ‘school’ really ties into the educational component of this is not just being art. It’s a lot more than that.”

On one of his favourite work projects, The Hair Appointment:

“I grew up with an aunt that had a hair salon and her hair salon was attached to the barbershop I went to. I was always in that space, whether I was getting my hair cut or just soaking up the culture. And there’s something about the hair salon where, when you enter, you feel like, “I’m welcomed here,’ from the smell to even the temperature of the room. Everything about it. You just feel like, ‘I can be myself in here.’ That’s something about the hair salon and the barbershop that I’ve never, ever felt anywhere else, and that inspired me. I have a really good friend that lives in New York and that works with her mom at their family hair salon, so we shot it there.

We wanted to evoke the idea of unconventional beauty and the stories that often go on in hair salons. We also wanted to highlight the different makeup of Black beauty (the light-skinned girl, the brown-skinned girl, the dark-skinned girl) and how braiding techniques have their origins rooted in Africa. We also found ways to tie in Black youth because that perspective is so authentic to the Black hair and salon experience. I think it all came together and made something really beautiful for the community. My proudest career moment has probably been the fact that we were able to take The Hair Appointment on four different activations around the world: New York City, Oakland, London, England and Ghana. And honestly, until this day, I didn’t expect the feedback that we got from it. I didn’t think it would take off the way it did. It just shows you the power of social media, the power of togetherness, and the power of telling stories that are untold.”

On the Black Lives Matter movement:

“Sunday School has gained over 2,000 followers over the past week just based off people wanting to tap into more Black-oriented storytelling, and that’s what we do. But we’ve been doing it for so long that, for us, it’s just another day. But it’s all been very tough, especially because I have a lot of American friends and now having lived there physically myself, too, I feel like I’m seeing this all first-hand. I’m super upset and disgusted with how the Black community is being treated. I understand the rioting. I understand the looting. But what’s next? I’m always looking for solutions. I’ve been doing what I can: I’ve been encouraging myself and my team to donate where we can, and we’ve been using our Instagram stories and feed to really push the awareness out there to people who are not informed, especially because we take up that space. We live in that space. It’s been overwhelming. I pray for better days. I pray for progress.”

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 We stand in complete solidarity with our people. Many of our team members and artists are out there with the community in various cities. Justice must be served and WE are going to be heard. Sunday School has always been dedicated to boldly telling our stories, and this is our story, so please send videos/photos related for us to share. Let’s continue saying their names, speaking out, expressing ourselves, and MAKING our voice heard for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Tony McDade, James Scurlock, and the heavy list of other brothers and sisters. For those that don’t quite understand, this is a time to learn, ask questions, and have conversation. This passionate expression of emotions didn’t come out of thin year, but many years of pain, hardship, and frustration. Many people are exclusively focused on debating HOW, but the only thing that matters is the WHY. Gandhi Mahal, a South Minneapolis restaurant was damaged in the fires and the owner responded with, “let my building burn, justice needs to be served.” The fight is to arrest, prosecute, and charge those officers for the murder of George Floyd. The fight is to dismantle white supremacy and police brutality. Don’t forget that. Racists are racists. They didn’t like us when we were marching, they didn’t like us when we were kneeling, they didn’t like us when we were publicly speaking. Stop accepting and protecting evil, because if not, these ideologies will continue to live on and strive in all institutions. #blacklivesmatter We’re in this fight together. Don’t forget the mission and don’t be fooled by the propaganda and infiltration. We must protect ours at all costs. “Don’t fall for the trick bag. Keep fighting the good fight” — @_stak5 . .

Tips to ease out the Pain After Braiding Hair

Do you love your braids but hate the pain they cause? You are not alone. Many people experience discomfort after getting their hair braided, in the wrong hair braiding salon. You should always choose a hair salon which has a long experience in this field, like Bintou Professional. We are the best friend of your hair if you are searching for hair braiding near me in minneapolis. But if you are already done with your hair braiding and having pain fear not in this blog post, we will explain the causes of braiding pain and share some tips to relieve it. We will also show you how to spot and avoid too-tight braids that can damage your hair. So let’s get started and learn how you can turn braid pain into an enjoyable braiding experience!

Why Does the Pain Happen?

Tightness is the main culprit. When braids pull excessively on your roots, it stretches your scalp and hair follicles, leading to tenderness. This can be due to several factors, like using hair that's too thin or short for the chosen braid style, excessive braiding tension, or even your natural hair texture. Additionally, the weight of the braids can exacerbate the discomfort, especially if they're too heavy.

Relieving Braid Tension

When it comes to tight braids, care needs to be taken in order for your hair not to experience any damage or discomfort. There are some techniques you can use that will assist with reducing pain and tension after getting them done. 

Gentle Scalp Massage: Massaging your scalp with your fingers can reduce pain and tightness. Rub gently in circles on the sore spots. This boosts blood flow and makes you feel good. You can also use essential oil to calm and hydrate your scalp.

Use a Warm Compress: Applying a warm compress to the scalp can help relax tense muscles and alleviate pain. To make a warm compress, soak a clean towel in warm water, then wring out the excess moisture. Gently place the warm towel over your scalp, allowing the heat to penetrate and soothe soreness. Leave the compress on for 10-15 minutes, repeating as needed for relief. You can also run your braids under warm water for a few minutes. This helps relax the tension and soothe your scalp.

Cylindrical Comfort: Use a smooth, round object like a pencil or massage roller to gently loosen individual braids, focusing on tight spots.  If done correctly, this technique should make it easier to cope with tightness issues caused by hair braided styles. Be mindful not to pull or tug.

Hydration Hero: Apply a leave-in conditioner or scalp tonic to combat dryness and add moisture, further easing discomfort.

Take Over-the-Counter Pain Relief : If your braids hurt a lot, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like  ibuprofen or acetaminophen. They lower inflammation and pain, and can help you cope with braiding soreness. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and consult a healthcare professional before taking them and don't use them for too long - try some of the other tips in this blog post to ease the tightness of your braids.

Avoid Tight Hairstyles: After removing your braids, give your scalp a break by opting for looser hairstyles. Avoid tight ponytails, buns, or other styles that can place additional strain on the scalp and exacerbate soreness. Instead, let your hair down or opt for gentle, low-tension styles that allow your scalp to recover and breathe freely.

Communicate with Your Hairstylist : Talk to your hair stylist before and during braiding. Tell them how tight and what style you want your braids to be. This way, your hair will look good and feel comfortable. Your hairdresser wants you to be happy, so let them know if you have any issues. With good communication, you can enjoy your braids without any worry.

Preventing Tight Braids: Tips for Healthy Hair

Braids can sometimes cause discomfort, but there are ways to prevent it from happening. In order to keep your braided style healthy and free of pain, it’s important that you use quality hair care products, avoid tight updos or other hairstyles which increase tension on the scalp, your hair stylist play a important role on this prevention journey so communicate with them, if you want a great hair braiding salon near me option for you in minneapolis then Bintou professional is going to be a best choice for you with 13+ years of experience,our hair stylist its well trained to give you a awesome hair transformation without the pain.

•  Hair breakage and shedding

•  Scabs or bumps on the forehead

If you see these signs, loosen your braids and take care of your hair.

How to Prevent Pain Before and After Braiding:

•  Wash and moisturize your scalp and hair before braiding. Use conditioner or oil to keep them hydrated and prevent irritation.

•  Shampoo your scalp gently after braiding to clean and calm it. Use conditioner to restore moisture and health.

Essential Hair Care Tips for Small Knotless Braids

Welcome to the world of small knotless braids! These trendy and low-maintenance braids not only look fantastic but also provide an excellent protective style for your hair. To ensure your hair stays healthy and vibrant while adorned with these stylish braids, here are some essential hair care tips you shouldn't miss.

Pre-Braiding Preparation: Make sure your hair is clean and moisturised before beginning of your braiding procedure at a hair braiding place. A thorough conditioning treatment followed by a mild shampoo free of sulphates will provide the best possible base for the braiding. Cut off any split ends to encourage more robust growth.

Scalp Hygiene: While small knotless braids offer a protective shield for your hair, maintaining a healthy scalp is crucial. Keep your scalp clean by using a diluted, sulfate-free shampoo, and focus on massaging it gently. Regularly apply a lightweight, oil-based moisturizer to the scalp to prevent dryness.

Moisture Maintenance: Small knotless braids may seem like a set-it-and-forget-it style, but moisture retention remains key. Keep your braids hydrated by using a leave-in conditioner or a water-based moisturizing spray. Apply the product evenly and regularly to prevent your hair from becoming dry and brittle.

Protective Styling at Night: To preserve the longevity of your small knotless braids, adopt a nighttime routine. Wrap your braids in a satin or silk scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase to reduce friction. This prevents unnecessary stress on your braids and minimizes frizz.

Avoid Excessive Manipulation: While it's tempting to constantly touch and style your braids, refrain from excessive manipulation. Overhandling can lead to fraying and breakage. Keep styling to a minimum, and when styling is necessary, do so gently.

Regular Maintenance Check: Schedule regular check-ups with your stylist to ensure that your  braids are in good condition. If you notice any problems, such as too tight braids or signs of stress, take quick action to avoid damaging your natural hair.

Conclusion:

Small knotless braids offer a stylish and protective solution for various hair types. By incorporating these hair care tips into your routine, you'll not only maintain the integrity of your braids but also promote the health and vitality of your natural hair.
