"Hey... I am not my hair... I am not this skin... I am the soul that lives within..." -India A.
Cliche, I know! When I look back at these photos I can't help but sing India
Arie songs, play with my hair and want to protest something... (hehe)
So, above are the photos when I first decided to rock the baby curly 'fro....My first time ever letting my natural hair out... I looked at myself in the mirror and said "its now or never" and I took the plunge. I was soo scared, all I could think was OMGeeee its all FACE and FOREHEAD for DAYZ! yikes:/ But I had come to far to turn back so I just ran with it.... The responses I got ranged from "oh wow your hair is beautiful and it fits you" to "oh but i mean you ain't real natural 'cause you're like mixed right?" -_- If I am not "real natural" can someone please tell me what is? I mean we live in America everyone is mixed, lets be honest; Its funny to me because I never really thought of myself that way. Maybe it has to do with my overwhelming Jamaican upbringing or maybe it is because I went to all white schools most of my life and a drop of black is BLACK. But long story short, I LOVE THE NATURAL FREEDOM!
stay tuned for more of the journey...
much love
