Meet the gang. These girls morphed from my artistic imagination but I suppose some where in the world they look like someone you know or maybe they look like you. It's awesome paying gratitude to all the natural sistas out there who give us all the option of going back to our Roots, literally. When I was in high school (I will not divulge dates), there was one teacher who wore a natural and lets just say it was not a popular choice. We laughed at her and made jokes about her Fro. I am sure she did not care and probably would have taken time to educate us had we had the ears to hear back then. So many sistas have sported their twa's, plaits, and cornrows, during times that didn't embrace the do. My hats off to her for being courageous enough to show us we have options and to be fearlessly who we were meant to be. Today It is popular and fashionably chic to "go natural" as we put it. There are natural hair journey blogs and video blogs. You can find traveling hair care expos around the country. Women attend natural hair meet ups and join organizations. It is becoming somewhat of a booming business. Entrepreneurs are making natural products and entering the marketplace with innovative natural accessories. I like where the movement is going. It gives permission and encouragement to the next sista not to be addicted to the creamy crack. Love your natural hair ladies. Let it Do what it Do!
