once again my favorite singer india arie helps me to have another revelation about life. The first one was in about 8th grade when i heard the video song… "i'm not the average girl on the video, and i ain't built like a supermodel but i learned to love myself unconditionally, because i am a queen." from then on i had  been able to always be confident in who i was or just pretend i was confident.

 Now she comes out with this new song "i am not my hair", and it is amazing. You HAVE to see the video. As i was watching the video i realized that i have put way to much time in worrying what people were gonna think of my hair and making sure it was always with the norm of society.

Good hair means curls and waves
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
Its time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Like a South African beauty
Or get in on lock
Like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight
Like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what's on your head
Its what's underneath and say HEY….

man you have to hear the whole song, its just all so ironic because i was just currently obsessing what i was gonna do with my hair.

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Oooh
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I am expressing my creativity..
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

however i decide to wear my hair it doesnt matter, now im not advocating walking out on the street without having given some care to your head. im just saying my hair doesnt define who i am. man why didnt you guys tell me i was being so superficial. thanks india.
