Movie: Avatar
I have not seen the movie, but its description sounds familiar. Humans go to the planet of Pandora to extract a precious mineral. To extract this precious mineral, the indigenous people Na’vi are asked to leave peacefully. Because the Na’vi feel the land is sacred, they refuse to leave. Greed, power and money start serious conflicts between the two. There is one line in the trailer when one of their humans say something about the Na’vi only having bows and arrows while the humans have machine guns. The graphics seem amazing. If you are into sci-fi this seems like a movie-watchers dream. While watching the trailer I ignored all the amazing graphics. Instead I was focusing on the various hairstyles of the Na’vi including braids and locs.

The movie Good Hair has a lot of people talking about Hair within the Black community. Lucky for us, lots of great reads! If you follow me on twitter, or are a fan on facebook you know that I post articles related to natural hair. Here are a few articles that have gotten the most response…
I finally saw Chris Rock’s Good Hair documentary.
One of the movie previews was Precious based on Sapphire’s book Push. When I read that book in high school, my perception of life changed. That movie/book highlights serious issues we have in our community such as child abuse, and self-hatred. I hated reading the book because it was so painful. By the end, I did believe there is hope. I am definitely going to support this movie by going to see it!
