Over at my travel blog, I shared a bit about Hair in St. Lucia. See here
Not long after that post, I found this lovely article “
“Zahara Jolie-Pitt and the Politics of Uncombed Hair”
Hair is often the first thing others notice, be it the texture, length, fullness, or shine. In the African-American community it can also tell a story. It can indicate your background, lineage, and social standing. From slavery until today, skin color and hair texture played a large part in how the overall society viewed blacks and ultimately the way African-Americans saw themselves.
……this too shall pass.
