Happy to be Nappy

I am starting a blog for all my natural brothers and sisters out there. I figured that this will be cheaper than starting a magazine right now. Although, I do plan to start that as well. I feel that we need a voice. Since becoming natural, I have had so many people that have approached me and said that they wish that they can take this step. My response has always been, "Why wish, just go for it." I have found that many are afraid of what their own hair texture would look like. I have also found that alot of men do not want their women to chop off their hair because they rather see their women relaxed then natural. I think that both of these reasons are poor excuses. First of all, I could not be with anyone who is afraid of the real woman that I am. I was not born with straight hair. I have a nice grade of hair, but it is curly. I am an African American woman and I have come to the realization that I am not European. I have a new found love for myself. Because of this new found love and the way that I carry myself now, I have found that more people are drawn to me. My husband cannot keep his hand off of me. And why you ask. Because I have fallen in love with me. You must love you then others will. I encourage you to stay strong on your path to finding you and if you have not begun the path, then may my words inspire you to do so.

Peace and Blessings
