Nonetheless, my main concern is to eliminate this mindset from our society. How do we allow choice to mean being and not becoming? African brothers and sisters, big or small, I respect you anywhere you are and whatever place you hold in this society, it’s ok for your hair to grow. Let’s acknowledge that television didn’t reflect people like us while growing up, but it’s time to change that. We can learn even from our children. We can’t keep trying to look like others. This is not the apartheid period. We can do better. Hair doesn’t define whether a person is bad or good. It’s hair! He/she feels like it that’s why they are keeping it that way.
