Friday night 7 Mar 08, I was chill-laxin’ at home surfing the net as usual and I can across a link to a YouTube instructional video. Since I’m so very easily distracted I ended up watching a woman’s journey to natural video and it put me in tears. Something inside me clicked and I broke down. Her video made me acknowledge that I’d been running from myself for YEARS…I didn’t look right if I didn’t have 18inch micros or tracks. It was like living up to a standard I felt like I would never achieve. I was using “transitioning” as a scapegoat not wanting to face the reality that I cared about what people thought about me. I liked blending in because that meant the attention would be away from me.

So I took out my braids and picked up the scissors…I emerged hours later like this:
I’m free y’all! {Black is Beautiful} just like all the other colors of the rainbow…
