Kitty on "Going Natural"


A friend of mine just asked me
question: what makes you feel fabulously fly and fierce? does it matter if the world doesn't acknowledge it?
My Answer :

There's alot of different things that make me feel "fly and fierce" my hair on certain days, jewelry,  no one has to acknowledge it at all....the only opinion that matters is yours!   Going Natural is not just a hairstyle but a mindset, a journey of self love.  Since Madame CJ Walker and the pressing comb and the environment that wouldn't give our parents and grandparents jobs cause we looked to "colored" the Afro community has been effected to this day to think we have to have light skin and straight long hair to be an ultimate Envy but that is further from the truth.  Going Natural no matter what you style you choose,  you already know someone isn't going to feel it, in the Afro community or outside of it.  The Natural Hair Community IS changing that mindset as it is catching on a trending. However, the bonds of sisterhood in the natural hair care industry you get confirmed over and over again that it's the way to true self love and self confidence and just accepting you and all of you.  With that comes a sense of Who Cares What You Think Im'ma do me.  Ultimately everyone sees that confidence.
