About Me
About Me
I have been on a wild transition...it has led me here....
I LOVE being me! I love my hair and I am learning to embrace it more and more everyday! I relaxed for the first time in seventh grade. At that time, I was unable to appreciate the beauty of my hair and it's uniqueness. I went to a predominently white school, so to me that was what my hair should look like. My parents protested but I eventually got my way! I transitioned Junior year of college for one year, then did the big CHOP! That was the most liberating experience of my life! I have been natural since March 2006. I am learning to appreciate the stares I get in corporate America, and the comments like "I think your hair looks cute kinky!" (Lord, help me!)....it just helps me understand that people cannot appreciate what they do not understand....... It a long road... but I am traveling it... soaking up all the knowledge I can along the way!

Thanks for the add request! Funny, I went natural around the same time as you...we should have horoscopes for natural hair birth.

Your story reminds me of my experience growing up in West Texas. The first time I went back home after the Big Chop, people looked at me as if I had three heads. I truly believe corporate America is learning to deal, since so many of us have made the transition. As more of us embrace our God given beauty, they will have no choice but to accept it!

thank your for the comment! The cloth that i used for the headwrap in that pic is of stretchy material. It was actually given to me from a friend who's was a costume designer for a school play that i worked on. She said that she tried Salvation Army's in "urban" areas.

Peace and Blessings
