Publisher's summary

It is my privilege to submit my work to the public to listen and learn from. I have struggled for acceptance for years and to finally come to a point where I accept who I am is an honor to my creator. When I was made in the womb, I was not a mistake as people, especially women, sometimes see themselves. It was a deliberate decision.

For so long, I tried to fit into the image of what I thought I was supposed to be, and of course, it never worked for me. I was never comfortable trying to do so. Now that I've accepted myself and my appearance which was always measured by the length of my hair, I feel there aren't any limits that I'm unable to reach. When you're trying to fit into a mold that wasn't made for you, you often have to silence parts of your being, and for what? To take on a version of what you think is acceptable.

There was never anything wrong with my personal version of beauty. I allowed my hair to be my identity. I didn't like my hair which drove me to not like my identity. A poor self-image caused me to be confused and a stranger to myself for years. I began watching others, and after many years, I decided that I was better off being true to myself, and that's when I became interested in myself and my hair length.

Today, I wouldn't trade my personality for anyone else's. I was made to be free, love life, and be comfortable in my own skin. Listen to my story and accept yourself as God's special creation.

Thank you for listening to my story.

Beautifully written

The story was very very beautifully written and extremely captivating. Even though I am not of African American descent, the way that the feelings and thoughts were described made me understand her completely. The story itself brings to light the many struggles and insecurities that come with having African American hair, which isn’t talked about that much, and the ending was very profound. It was a very lovely book and I do not regret reading (or listening) to it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
