Natural Hair inspired video and music
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’m holding on to my freedom,
Can’t take it from me,
I was born into it,
It comes naturally,
I’m strumming my own freedom,
Playing the god in me,
Representing his glory,
Hope he’s proud of me,
I have been listening to this new band (new to me, I think they have two/three albums) and the lead singer has a natural, and I thought you may be interested in the music and may be a cool person for your inspiration videos on Kinnks
The group is The Noisettes; the song that turned me on to them was Never Forget You… But I like their stuff generally and their website noisettes.co.uk has a lot of their other videos.
