The Painstaking Natural Hair Initiation...

Artsit: Arie L.

Going natural, natural hair journey, naptural, loc goddess, loc'd for life, happy to be nappy...etc., etc....etc. Many have heard much of the varied terminology and colloquialisms mentioned above. This language regards the life-changing movement that beautiful women of color experience as they abandon the maintenance of processed hair, and make the decision to embrace their roots, (both figuratively and literally). In essence, freedom of the mind begins with embracing one's authentic self allowing no other force in the universe to influence their decisions regarding their appreciation of an African perspective, an African persona and an African self-image.

While many would think that there is one singular (Europeanized) standard of beauty, be not deceived, for the women of color are changing this dynamic with a vengeance. African women across the globe and additional women of color who have kinky coily curly tresses are making a conscious decision to embrace their natural authentic selves. Women near and far of all ages are re-defining the standard of beauty to have a more personalized ethnic touch which corresponds with the very core of their being, history, culture and essence.

But no one said it would be easy...especially if those realizations are coming to fruition after ladies have been wearing their hair in a processed fashion, which leaves the hair silky straight...yet unfortunately dead at the same time.

Join me on Youtube as I talk about my own journey and the challenges faced through the transition of going back to natural.

Ladies Killing It


  








Peaceful Journey Home Maurice White




Maurice White was an American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger and bandleader. He was the founder of the band Earth, Wind & Fire.

Earth, Wind & Fire, a nine-piece band centered featuring the two White brothers, singer Philip Bailey and the distinctive horn section, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. The band's most successful period started with the 1975 album "That's The Way of The World" and continued through the rest of the decade. Other hits included "Serpentine Fire," ''That's the Way of the World" and a cover of the Beatles' "Got to Get You Into My Life."

"My brother, hero and best friend Maurice White passed away peacefully last night in his sleep," Verdine White, also a member of the band, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "While the world has lost another great musician and legend, our family asks that our privacy is respected as we start what will be a very difficult and life changing transition in our lives. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes."
