Ready Set Action

Hey Dayz,

June 2010, I haven't posted any blogs so here is my up to date post. I went back home to Washington State to see my brother's graduation. It was great and quite an experience, because I haven't been back to the evergreen state since 2000. I haven't seen majority of my family members in nearly 10 years. I was a bit nervous, because I knew I was going to go out there rocking my fro and I didn't know how my family was going to react. To my surprise, I don't know if everyone liked it, but my grandmother sure did. She was so impressed with me going back to my natural state and her enthusiam was more than enough to make me feel proud in my own inner self.

I recently had a conversation with a girlfriend of mines last month and she was talking about how she was annoyed with her naps and as soon as she saw some growing she would immediately perm it, but she has been doing it for a long time now and her hair is starting to thin out. With this in mind she continued to tell me how she wish she was mixed and that her hair wasn't kinky and she wouldn't have to tend to the daily struggle with her hair. As I continued to listen to her story about her hair, I could only reflect on how I use to complain the same way. I told her she has to do what she feels most fit. I told her since my transformation, I have grown to love my hair and not despise it as I once did. I told her she has to overcome that fear that our hair is not bad and not to feel that way, but to embrace your natural beauty and learn to work with what you have.

Well this week people, I'm going to braid my hair up for the remainder of the summer because the heat is having a tough stroll on my head. I will continue to post blogs, but just note that I will not be wearing my own hair at least for the next two months to give my hair a little break. Here is a picture of me currently at work, I did the two stand twist (big ones) with AfroVeda Hemp Seed and Cantu Shea Butter and it gave my hair extreme volume..I absolutely Love It! =)
