Do not attempt to adjust your monitors. This is not a throwback 70’s post. Remember my quest this past spring to start growing an afro like former Lenny Kravitz drummer, Cindy Blackman? Well, I’m halfway there. I figure by February, I’ll have my hair the length that I want it to be.
This is the packed in version, but if I pick it out a bit fuller, you’d be shocked as to how much is really on my head. I’ve been rockin’ twists since last year, but every couple of months or so, I untwist my hair to see just how much my ‘fro has grown. Gotta love the naturals.
finding my flaws to be no flaws at all
just unique….
is a bit narrower than most sistas,
it’s just a horizon
taking in the earth’s freshness
free of chemical chains,
and not tied to or attached to anything
I wasn’t born with;
I won’t run to find shelter from the wetness,
I’ll stand with my head back and arms open wide
Thanking God for change,
for baptizing me in the rain
and making me a natural woman
