okay. here it is. are you calling it “twenty ten” or “two thousand and ten?”
2000 and 10.
what is your superhero name?
Rashida. She’s actually the name I gave my Black Barbie when I was 5. She’s the background image of my profile page.
I totally dig your symbolism for head shaving. what do u think about the opposite end of the spectrum (i.e., locs)???
My son has locs. Of course I would give a one-year-old locs and think this would be a good idea LOL. I’ve had locs and they are WORK. Now that my son’s locs have matured, it’s much easier to deal with but I still have to take time out to do them. His locs are a reflection of me, but so is the case with all parents of colored children.
In the end, hair is not for me. I felt it always made me look strange. I need to see my face. Somehow I always felt hair detracted rather than added to my features.
