Update on websites

Posted on June 15th, 2005 in Personal by Vegan Momma

It looks like I fixed the problems with my new website, Nappy-Haired Diva. I am
in the process of removing files from Vegan Momma and transferring them over to Nappy-Haired Diva. I
thought of the name Nappy Haired Diva because well Nappy for many years has had
a negative meaning. I think some naturals are trying to change nappy into a
positive statement. I thought of Diva since I always felt they commanded
attention. You most likely will receive attention as a natural whether you want
to or not.

It’s just Hair…

It amazes me how much negativity is associated
with Blacks/Africans who wear their hair naturally. I have received a few
comments from outside of my race but the most negativity I have received has
been within my own race. One man who was Caucasian told me that ‘Blacks’ who
had kinky/nappy hair had to get their hair straightened because as he said,
"I am sorry but that type of hair is not acceptable!"  I asked this
type of hair is not acceptable to whom, you or people who think like yourself?
No it is not acceptable to white people. However the most hurtful comments I
have received have been from others who look like me.
