This is so true. I decided to go natural when I was 13 yrs old.Being so young a natural,I get all kinds of stereotypes from my peers.I get called things like treehugger,hippie,revoluntionary,and to most of them just plain weird.To qoute one of my acquintaces I am a "peace-to-all-make-love-not-war-rainbow-colorful-good-kinda-weird." One boy saw small fro and asked if I am Afeni Shakur( he was really trying to pick on the fact that he thinks I look like a black panther)to which I replied "No but my grandma knows her."(Which is true.Afeni Shakur comes from our small southner town and is well-known in our community for all her charity work) I get things like this all the time but it doesn't bother me that much.While then I may have been alittle insecure about my afro,I know who I am.It just so happens I love poetry,jill scott's golden will forever be in my rotation,I would love to recyle but my town got rid of their recyle center(I currently trying to figure out a way to get it out,I love singing I am not my hair at the top of my lungs.One of the most imporant thing being natural has taught me and is continueing to teach me is that I should not be ashamed of who I am.
