"Dear African Woman,

Why must we have this conversation over and over again? Why can’t you just accept our facts about you? Facts about how unimportant you are to the general scheme of things? Facts about how your physical attributes are repulsive and unappealing? Facts that show the world that YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH?!

I Am My Hair….And So Much More!

What my hair looks like most days.

‘I am not my hair

I am not this skin

I am not your expectations, no (hey)

I am not my hair

I am not this skin

I am the soul that lives within’

India Arie - I Am Not My Hair Lyrics | MetroLyrics
