It Was When I Realized

Just Embrace Your Hair! I Really Feel Like I Am Not An Advocate For People Doing What I Do. I'm An Advocate For People Discovering And Finding What Works For Them.

Getting To A Place Where I Am Comfortable Saying Things Was Hard-earned For Me. I've Chewed On The Ground Glass Of My Own Experience. I Saw Gloria Steinem Speak, And I Was Just Like, Shut The Front Door. She Was Saying That She Didn't Come Into Her Own Until Her 40s, And She Was Asking Herself The Question, Why Should She Have To Get Married? And I Just Thank God Someone Asked That Question, Right? I Think We're The First Generation Of Women Asking Ourselves Certain Questions And Deciding For Ourselves.

There Is A Way To Be A Woman, Ask For What We Deserve And Be Able To Negotiate.

Someone Asked Me Recently, "do You Get Sick Of People Asking You About Your Hair?" And The Reason I Don't Is Because I Actually Feel Like You Could Chronicle My Journey Of Self-acceptance Through My Journey With My Hair. It's A Badge Of Something Bigger.

I Hope They Look At Me And Think, 'that Lady Looks Like She Accepts Herself'.
