On a side note

     Being in Japan, I haven't really had a chance to talk about some of the things that I faced back in America. Looking on yahoo just now and looking at this video, I was reminded of one of the things that I always talk about, and that's hair! I just went natural about one year ago and sometimes I feel that I really do miss the long chemical relaxed hair I had but it was just a pain to take care of. Looking at this video on yahoo, it talks about the struggles young black girls have to endure with their curly hair. Growing up, I was one of those girls that just wanted long straight hair that would blow in the wind but now I see that you just have to love what you got and be happy you got it. This video tells young black girls to do that and I really appreciate ABC and Sesame Street for broadcasting this video and letting some of the problems that little black girls face become public knowledge. Here's the video so have a look:
