Three and a bit decades of being told that my hair must always be slicked back and neatly tied.
Three and bit decades of being told that my curls must never be freed to see the light of day.
Three and bit decades of being made to feel that this black girl magic in my hair has no place in today's status quo.
Three and a bit decades of being told I do not fit the mould.
Three and bit decades of being told to fit into the box.
Three and bit decades of being fed up...
Today... Today I decide that this black girl magic must be freed and allowed to breathe.
Today I decide that this black girl magic is to be celebrated and not shunned.
So here I am to stay.
Hello world, meet my black girl magic hair.
