Introduction 

We can be inspired by so many things yet at the same time we can begin to criticize little things about ourselves. We desire to be perfect, to look flawless, to look beautiful, to not have any blemishes on our skin. We desire to recreate outselves to the perfect image. Breaking every single things that makes us, us. Our heights, to small “I’m a Midget”, to tall “I’m a Giant” Our Hair that continues to grow we break down. We become ashamed of it. We force our hair to be different. Whether your hair is curly, straight, wavy or an afro, you do not have it with pride.
