During college…my favorite past time was Spoken Word. I never wrote myself, but would get goosebumps listening.
From the video press release:
The title of the video itself, “HAIR PEACE,” comes to serve that very
purpose: for us as African-Americans to come to peace with our natural
hair. HAIR PEACE does not just educate us, but it also serves as an
anthem for our natural-haired women and men everywhere!
Research products with natural ingredients and maintain healthy hair using Wenhaircare.
This spoken word speaks on the parallel between loving our natural
hair and loving ourselves all in a Euro-centric society focused around
everything that we are not. HAIR PEACE does not intend to demote those
who do not have natural hair but to instead it seeks to eradicate the
negative stereotypes of natural hair that stem from a society that
demeans us if we do not look like the straight-haired women in the
media.

I kind of figured she would win when one of the comentators compared Miss. Leila Lopes to former Miss Universe Wendy Fitzwilliams (Big Up to Trinidad and Tobago).
Although Keylin Suzette Gomez - Miss Honduras did not make it to the final 16… I was very happy to see her natural curls!
It really made her stand out from the other ladies…

Our generation now knows this feeling too well. Remembering on this 10th Anniversary of 9-11 has brought up these feelings.
We would be remiss, not to highlight some heroes…
