Natural Love Story

Shauntae writes...

Six years ago, I would spend $60 dollars or more on my addiction to upkeep my spike haircut. It became so bad that I would take a split shift to make my hair appointment. Then one day I ran it to my coily delight. His dreads right above his shoulder captured my eye. Strand by strand, I began to chop my hair in prayer to become his heartbeat. As I chopped my hair, I began to be free. Releasing the natural beauty, that God had given me. Just like a flower, our love began to grow. As his hair swung past his shoulder, my hair began to reach to the heavens. This natural love six years later produced a blessing. Oh no, I am not worried about what folks might think of me. I am released to wear my hair any way I want. It is no longer my weakness but my strength.
