Must give a quick shout out to the little ladies whose videos are making it a bit easier to be a black girl this week:
1) Sesame Street – I Love My hair
2) Willow Smith- Whip My Hair
As I told my mother, if these songs had been released when I was 9 years old- there would have been no safe place for her to hide. Oh, and the mash up between the two is awesome as well.
Much love from one black girl to another <3
“Keep fighting until I get there, When I’m down and I feel like giving up… I think again. I whip my hair back and forth!” -Willow Smith
“It’s curly and it’s brown and it’s right up there! You know what I love? That’s right, my hair!” -Cutest muppet of all time
“Cutest muppet of all time.” LOVE IT!
I almost wish I had a little girl of my own to help guide her to ultimate self-love. But my niece will do, too. (Love you, baby Akira!)
