Love Your Hair Hoodie

“Loving my hair is my way of due diligence to the natural, unedited parts of me, and learning how to work it in order to express the complexities of my culture and humanity.”

Loving my hair means I am comfortable and happy with my whole body. My healthier, shinier hair, and yes crazy corkscrews and coils are an integral part of me. I’m no longer hiding behind my last mask.

 “Loving my hair means piling my dreads high upon my head like a crown. It means tying cowrie shells found on ancient coastlines onto my favorite dread loc. It means letting my nieces giggle as they touch and twist the ends of my hair with their little hands as they tell me stories about parrot fish and apple bananas. Loving my hair means leaving the insecurities of my youth in the past and embracing each curl, each coil, each strand of genetic memory as shout outs to my ancestors.”
