All of us are beautiful, and our curls are works of art to be treasured. It's so true that it's only by being constantly brainwashed since we were kids into thinking that something is wrong with us while all along all our shades and features are wondrous, just as they are. The fault is in a lazy system that often can't take the time to make products that work with what we have. Instead they too often focus on changing us. The thing is, there is way more money to be made in keeping us unhappy with ourselves so we will keep buying more and more expensive products to "cure" us. I guess there isn't as much money to be made if people are happy as they are, and are at peace with the mirror.

I am so so happy you are discovering how beautiful you and your natural hair is! It makes all the difference in the world! And the funny thing is that the more you know this in your heart, the more the people around you see this too. And when they see how beautiful you are, how you carry yourself, then they will know their own shade of color is beautiful too. It's like your peace becomes a gift of peace and happiness you share with those around you. You are a gift to the world.
