Going Natural Doesn't Mean You Think Yourself an African Goddess

Black Hair Stereotypes

amen to the article

because my mom and i have fought for months about this.

i definitely want to go natural,

or at least have yarn braids.

unfortunately, 

the whole world doesn't think like this writer.

and that was my mom's main issue:

me looking like kunta kente,

and everyone thinking of me as an african soul sista

(without the salon's care, she says)

and even though that's a stereotype i've heard before,

people shouldn't be judged about their hair.

i don't care if i am.

sure, i want to date a white guy.

and it might be harder to find one that way

since i assume they're intimidated by black women as is.

but i don't care.

because it's MY hair

and i should be able to style it anyway i please

without influences from society distracting me.

i honestly think wild manes of hair are stunning

and gorgeous.

Vampire Weekend

i have vampire weekend playing on my pandora,

because NYLON magazine told me so.

thanks to that magazine,

i've found so many new artist to listen to.

so, you could say i'm on a music adventure.

i do have a little over $9 

burning a hole in my virtual itunes pocket.

now playing: vampire weekend- horchata

(it sounded tribal and had an excited beat,

i can always dig that)

Nirrimi Photography

i can't actually show you photos this girl has done

but i highly suggest you check them out for yourself.

they're amazing.

nirrimi photography

i am quite jealous of her skill.

Vulnerable

i became limp

no clutching to the carpet

no grabbing of any sorts.

i left myself vulnerable to kisses

to the love he claims he has for me

in the world of sin we live in

-Cierra 

P.S.

i'll get the "facts" about me up later.

when i think of enough worthwhile things

you should know about me.

Wildfox Couture

wildfox couture .

(and yes that is fire head Nicole from ANTM) 

love their look and the simple photography used.

nothing glamourous,

and they show fashion doesn't have to be.

i'd totally support them by buying a top or two,

except a t-shirt is about $60.

nothanks.

Hello, Again

college life brings a lot of thoughts

welcome to blogger number three of mine!

this one is meant for me to freely express what i believe is beautiful,

no holding back.

college life is hectic, but i'll eventually get a hold on things

and publish when i can.

it'll definitely be a stress reliever.

so for my first post, i will post my favorite quote:

 "'The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth.'" 

-The Awakening

next up, a photo of me and about 15 facts about me?

then it'll get personal.
