imagine living in a world where beauty
is as diverse as we are imagine living
in a world were you not judged by the
color of your skin or the hair that you
choose to keep imagining children having
the choice to make decisions on how to
express themselves I thought anything
that worked in fact I was pretty sure in
that world because for the longest time
I expressed myself as I please I made
choices I wasn’t the girl who informed I
knew this until I recently decided to
cut my hair I decided to make my hair
feel natural
oh by all means literally and then I
realized action had been living in the
world where there were standards where
my choice maybe wasn’t so much my choice
and thinking about it why is it in a
conversation wife this sort of hair
still being discussed 2016 why are the
polarizing subject very recently South
Africa a young girl the label hotel a
beautiful charming feisty girl made
headline news she was protesting to wear
the hair the growth a stop
which we can laugh at and looking at the
pictures it actually look like something
out of a glass civil rights movement in
the 60s and yet wait 2016 that has seen
her actually signify something more
importantly if a black person chooses to
wear their hair naturally as it moves
out this how are you making a statement
we’ve been a record are you eat iTunes
is it saying something I grew up in the
70s and even then as a young girl I knew
having something I knew it was going to
define how people treated me I need to
seem to define how people viewed me it
says something even if I opened my mouth
and I knew this absolutely because even
in my own house
there was two conflicting and two very
different views on hair my mother in the
seventies was a stunning woman and she
knew her hair sexuality it’s almost like
she wanted it on the other hand my
grandmother also have a beautiful after
except I didn’t do it to love about
eight years old because she hid it it
was always under hair stuff so I knew
had a mercy except I didn’t I thought I
was making choices now looking back in
the seventies and thinking about the
beautiful styles that we all used to
join for those of us in the audience who
might remain seventies if you had been
in your or Naomi live in the cities of
thinking in the same
black sport why cause we all bow our
heads in wonderful fools against our
story across the pond is so different in
the u.s. it’s symbolized in Parliament
it symbolized rebellion it symbolized
fighting for the civil rights in Africa
though it was something slightly
different but yet to be worn partly it
only came to us by way of the editors
that happen in the 60s with a lot of
moving on to the u.s. to the UK the
Soviet Union when they came back they
have his beautiful head and his stories
of civil rights movements we chose where
the South even overstory didn’t 20 leads
to us but of course it made sense
because you also fighting the
colonialist
but to be frank this house of movie and
quite iconic as I grew up and it turns
into the 80s and suddenly but after
disappeared almost like the Loch Ness
monster we knew all this we knew it
existed but we rarely cited it now the
heads had changed house young men but I
knew something different
the cars were looser and perhaps with on
with the new televisions which were
colored they might add
and TV shows such as top of the box we
started to see new style coming through
the journey and how was very popular in
the US and we started seeds coming
across the countries and the same many
of us couldn’t quite figure out how to
do that but of course religiously
Paulette the pop stars and I think was
iconic for me was salt and pepper
the woman handling it was menace it’s
symbolized the eighties the right sense
but of course a man change now it was no
longer a food we were using what coins I
remember going to a changed salon and
she uses hot straightening my hair so
that I could fit any Buddhist school the
same thing is probably happening it was
what because as we know it if people
didn’t conform they can get the jobs
they wanted it needed to be standardized
the Pope says however were reveling but
as you can see although her hair is what
different colored kind of stuff with you
it was still the street I grew up into
the nineteenth and the hair was anything
that full of weight yet now I could
actually afford to have some hairstyles
and as soon as I could as soon as I
finished high school almost like her
hostage right I went and had my hair
last it was a thing to do
of course I thought I was making a
choice but looking back there were many
of us the influence then was probably
things like the Fresh Prince of bel-air
for those who remember the family the
yen
Ashley Hilary long made hair
they sounded the way that the hair will
be flowing
except they were black like me and it
was then the advent of the week
conscious taxes now there was a secret
weapon we had chemicals and we had
sessions I spent a lot of my
girlfriend’s high achievers look and of
course we didn’t have the money or the
no harm so instead of the way to the
toni braxton right in cut away straight
hair the head of the chemicals but as
soon as i got my first job in 1899 I
immediately started singing religiously
to achieve this look and looking back if
I had a feedback we virtually for house
and probably own to the cost of this
hair is enough to pay for two mortgages
over the two decades that I spent find
the perfect present Malaysia and
Indonesia
it was an obsession and even more
obsessive was the perfect plant you were
not allowed to tell I was really care
even though I was really care the often
school was enabling the simplicity and
so it went on and on and even more
lovely was the realization that now I
was using it to create an image I was
using it to become accustomed this hand
was my calling path before you think I
look to me you knew that I was a
corporate woman but I had a serious job
not just like any other person I was a
banker my hair was cut sold its SATs
only on my left shoulder and it was
always perfect and armour I even used it
to hide my physical flaws my right eye
is blind and as hell is perfect to cover
the school it was an armor and I would
religiously year in here art and then of
course
thing happens and has changed TUI’s ago
I was joined by two little girls my
daughters and now I had to make a
decision
it didn’t seem like a difficult decision
because of the love of my life my life
but something troubling happened as soon
as these girls were born I realized the
head gasps natural and I have to
actually wash it and maybe the
commissioners I didn’t know what those
things News which is ironic even at this
point of actually running hair salons so
you wouldn’t think of the aspect I
should know what to do but only I hadn’t
actually seen my hair in its natural
state or to dentists Oh
so now I have to ask the comfortable
questions like what do you need to wash
your hair is it under sue no idea so I
made the decision to actually start
looking at keeping my hair as it was and
who natural for the sake of my girl’s
health and maintenance I did wonderful
to have friends so I did and of course I
stumbled upon this living world the wall
there was actually different yet to see
this world was not affected by
technology a movement had begun people
were actually very natural except unlike
the sixties and the seventies there was
no rally all those nobody was iconic and
saying I am the natural leader let’s all
become virtual Issus but yes we were
connected by technology so a whole bunch
of people men and women were beginning
to embrace cleanliness and I stumbled on
this world but not having to ask myself
the question why was it that when I
choose to go macho it was a new type of
judgement and what would this hair
actually symbolizing it’s 2016 and we’re
still spending ridiculous amount of time
talking about a black hair and I decided
that there was actually a lesson that I
was going to learn from this change and
this lesson was going to be presented to
me by way of my hair this lesson is
about acceptance I finally confronted
who I was as one intended and I was
going to be okay with that and
especially sue because one of my
favorite books by l equals chase what
starts by say rule number one as a
lesson in life we will be given one body
whether you love it or you hate it it
will be yours for the duration of your
life
so the quicker you get comfortable with
it
the easier things going like slightly
pajamas and now I walk around with my
hair actually of course today’s a
special occasion but this is still a
natural style this is how I wore my hair
for almost two decades as you can see it
was perfect
or so I thought there was a
representation of the person I wanted to
be
it was an addition to the world and now
I had to face and accept who I was no
additions and so I want to leave you
with a lesson that I have taken away
from all the six foods and this lesson
is I am NOT my hair my hair
you
