I think a lot about nature verses nurture. Who would we be with a strong support system vs a dysfunctional family. Are we destined to be who we are, or does our environment mold who we are? I guess it is safe to say our environment can shape, or suffocate our potential. Some of our World’s greatest leaders’ strength was born from adversity. The thought of Tupac, his greatness and early death truly saddens me.
Tupac’s “Dear Mama” is officially inducted into the Library of Congress…

Do you have a big chop, or thinking about taking the plunge? Beautiful Jean Norris and Renee Neufville of the early 90s R&B group Zhane rock their low dos with style! Uh… please avoid the finger waves, and just chop it all off! I love this song! Shout out to my alma mater Temple University where the two girls meet before launching their musical career.

Coming from a large family, populated by mostly women, hair is discussed on a daily basis. My earliest member is being 4 or 5 walking to my grandmother’s house to get my hair pressed. I can still full the excitement and fear in my chest. Excited because getting my hair pressed meant something important was happening, and fear because the plan was to put something that had sat on top of a hot burner in my head. And getting burner was a reality, because I could never keep still. That was one reason that my hair pressing sessions got passed on to my grandmother, she was the best at it and had the most patience with me.

What type of natural hair video series would this be, without featuring India Arie’s ‘I Am Not My Hair’?!
India Arie is one of my top favorite artist. Any song, or video by her will fit our natural hair inspired series perfectly. I purchased her first CD in high school. Her songs like “Video” and “Brown Skin” during my growing years inspired me to be confident with who I am, while making no apologies! I am just a BIG fan of Ms. India Arie. She radiates calmness and inner peace.
Although I have an obsession with hair, it is important to come back to the middle. I am pro-natural for several reasons, and strongly choose to keep my hair natural…however I will press-n-curl my hair if I choose, or even add some braided extensions.
Why? Because I am not my hair…. but the skin that lives within….
