Nappy Heads Unite (video)


I saw this video on a blog that i follow: http://www.naturalsobsessed.blogspot.com/ She a very knowledgeable sister so check her out.  But I had to re-post this and give my experiences, emotions and reaction from family after my BC. I love this video. An i totally understand where the girl is coming from completely. Cause when i told my grandmother that i got my hair cut and I'm going natural the first thing she said to me was, " You gonna have Nigga hair. You gonna look silly it ain't gonna grow back"  Now mind you she is in her  60s this was the thing her in time to be natural and have an Afro & etc. I got so upset i couldn't talk to her, and i had to hang up...like I was soooo hurt in my life. Her opinion affected me the most because i always, always, ALWAYS value my families views on things. That only motivated me show her how much my natural essence is beauty. This is the way Allah put my on this earth ya know? This is what he gave me...and that natural  hair can grow and can be healthy just as much as the next person. And that No creamy crack(i.e. Perm) is supposed to define who I am.  And it's sad that so many people have this conceptualizations that if your hair is not straight or if you don't look a certain way you're not excepted. ya know? An I don't care about being the black sheep to anyone because to me, my natural beauty out shines any America top model with  a made up face, chic clothes and light colored eyes.

 I. AM. BEAUTY.
 I .AM. BEAUTIFUL. NATURALLY 
 And I wouldn't have it any other way.
