When I was coming up my hair got pressed, fried, braided with extentions, permed, you name it. Why? Because that was the image of beauty that was being tossed at me as a dark skinned woman. If my hair wasn't straight, it was 'right' and that's just flat wrong. Glad you found me lady, let's keep in touch. Hey Sojourner,

I then stop and remind myself that beauty isn't just long straight hair. I As a light skinned sister with good hair.
