World,
Long time no conversing. Since my last entry I graduated college, acquired a new path to my professional career, and I will soon boast a new address. In short, life is good, and as I am transitioning to the future my hair is along for the ride. As of lately, the journey has been less turbulent and almost enjoyable.
My appreciation for my hair evolution is inspired by the unsolicited
positive responses garnered from my fellow Black women. Perhaps I am extremely
grateful for the random commendations as of recently, because in the past, I felt
that Black women were among my harshest critics. These days, it seems that the occasional passer
will offer a word of encouragement or compliment to reinforce my mother's sentiments that I should walk tall,
even at four feet and eleven inches.
Natural hair or not, there is power behind affirmations, even if conveyed to a stranger.
So to the random sistas that have given me reason to smile, thank you. I will make it a priority to pay it forward.
Girl power,
First lady
