Since getting married I challenged myself to let my hair grow and find contentment in my natural state. You'd think a girl who had a buzzcut having hair wouldn't make a difference. Ha! Jokes on you.  I've spent more time tearing myself down about my hair than I'd like to admit.

On my podcast this week I talk about the overwhelming feeling of inadequacy one battles with natural hair. Black hair is complicated on its own we don't need good hair or bad hair narratives for others...or ourselves.

You don't have to have your hair in its natural state to love yourself. *re-read that again* That is something I have battled with for the past couple of years. Wanting to own my blackness and be in the world as myself. I can do that with my buzzcut, braids, locs, or my natural hair.

Our natural selves occur when we are free and honest.  Sometimes I get my wires crossed with the superficiality of all it. For all the curly girls who can't explain why they hate their hair & cry when they try, this is for you.
