When I listen to any song on the album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” I get goose bumps. Even when I watch Sister Act I just say out loud, ‘DANG, that gurl can SANG’!!
I have heard that Lauryn Hill felt tasked with saving hip hop. That responsibility, “people say” was a bit much, hence her long absences from the spotlight.

Not too long ago, you could not walk into a store and actually see a product on the shelf geared solely toward natural hair. But nowadays, not only can you find products geared toward natural hair all over the Internet, but in the beauty aisles of drug and grocery stores and neighborhood beauty supplies.
Target has even dedicated aisles to natural hair products like Miss Jessie’s, Jane Carter, CURLS and many more.
