Anyway...look at how I saw myself. Or saw what I wanted to be. The image I drew is not me. I never had hair down to my feet. And my hair (even with a perm because I had when at 9 years old) was never that straight. So then why did I draw that?
Maybe it's because all of my Barbie dolls had long and straight hair. It's sad. I hope that my future daughters love what they see in the mirror. That they don't grasp on to some ideology that straight and long hair is what will make them "more" beautiful.
Do you see the issues that Black women have with hair? We aren't making this up. And it starts when we are little girls....
