Behind the Scenes of The Mazelee Family Photoshoot..

[@milliem1061]

Barber was on point. Different hair textures, working with kids.. Yo, he deserves a medal 🎖. PS everyone fangirling on appa was so sweet.

[@coachcarenfern]

those were my thoughts exactly

I'm the one on the end of the seat and my dad is the barber:D Lol

[@tholmes1247]

I always felt if you can't do or manage all types or different styles better yet you can't do hair/ hair braid anybody can shampoo anybody can cut but when you can do all types and now that's a hair stylist / Barber

[@BSOG3]

This family is beautiful. Alena's laughter, smile, and personality and Joe's calm is all over their children. The big girls are gorgeous and confident and the little kids look up to them. There's such good energy and it's clear that they all love each other. Which one is my favorite? ALL OF THEM! Also, the barber was great. Ajedi's hair transformation alone was worth it! Joe and Alena looked great too!

[@honestly7393]

I love everything you have said. I come to this channel for the the balance and harmony I see in this family. It seems like the parents tend to the soul of the children and as if each child feels special, included, valuable and that they belong. The organizing and planning that the parents do prevents other problems from cropping up. It is an example of deep thoughtfulness. The family activities include everyone of every age and even extended family. This teaches teamwork, cooperation, building relationships, and consideration for others. There is always a lot of laughter and joy.

How did you learn to define genius?

[@maeahem]

@@tim.3695 eh, just their learning process is advanced. They have a lot of older siblings and structured environment for scaffolding and they are very engaged and curious. Of course that’s all relative. But genius to me anyway.

[@tim.3695]

@@maeahem I understand. We have different connotations of defining genius. I understand a genius to be on a much higher level...a rare uniqueness (my brother Malcolm X) who had NO "University) level learning and was a HS dropout...a true genius! ...non comparable to what you hv described here. I agree, older siblings are helpful in development and growth per their younger siblings.
