I just saw this and had to share.  My husband I talk a lot about how we’ve been taught that our hair is unacceptable.  He’s 34 and this is they first time he’s seen what his curls actually look like.  At the end of the day, regardless of how you wear your hair, know that YOU are beautiful.  It exists not in what you do to the outside, but what you have nourished on the inside.  Namaste.

HEY FRAN,

This is a short film and poem I wrote to highlight the struggles that many black women face when it comes to embracing our natural hair texture and that despite living in a society that often places nappy and unattractive in the same category, we too are BEAUTIFUL NATURALLY.

I hope you like it!
