Words of Wisdom from Marcus Garvey

"Don't remove the kinks from your hair. Remove them from your brain." 
-- Marcus Garvey (1887 - 1940) founder of the Back to Africa Movement



The above quote is just so powerful to me. My sister Miss Cee C and I were talking about how people don't seem to "get their mind right" before they go natural. They don't accept really coily hair as beautiful and/or they continue to put too much self worth in the texture and length of their hair. For hundreds of years, our people have continued to fry, dye, and lay to the side our hair in hopes of removing any type of kink, curl, or coil. But stop trying to change your hair, and work on changing your mind.
