As you know, I always ask our Naturally Glam-Natural Hair Idols the same question- What’s the best thing about being naturally glamorous?!
Check out how ISAKE responded to that prompt:
The love affair I am having…….
Each caress of this rendezvous
Confirms society’s plan for my
Self-hatred has been foiled
Fingering roots of rugged coils
My hand hypnotically drifts downward
Stroking the length Of extensions of me
Antennas to the universe
That echo
Nature’s crown is no curse
I am having
A love affair
With my hair
As I learn to love me
Naturally.

LOVE THE POEM!!! I have it up and I’m sharing with my fellow natural chicas.
I LOVE this blog. I’ve been a stalker for a while, I recently did the BC and I’ve found so much info looking at blogs and forums. I will be a regular visitor, looking forward to more fab info. PS, I graduated from NC State so I am a Carolinian too! Even though I now live in ATL.
Toodles!
I read it yesterday and thought it was a beautiful poem. It explains my love affair with my hair! LOL
