We remember when India Arie’s song, “I Am Not My Hair,” first came out. I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am not your ex-pec-tations no no

I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am the soul that lives within. You may not even realize it but there is a constant battle of us always trying to make our hair do what it wasn't meant to do.” We give it a job, help me fit in at work, find a man, be accepted by society. We discuss it all.
