Pelo Negro: A Black Woman's transition from a perm to beautiful natural hair

After celebrating 1 year of being natural, I decided to do a video to highlight my journey. I am now locin' my hair and I am tracking at journey at: LocRocker.com

Thanks for all of the love and support nappies and nap lovers! Oh....and love to the crazy commenters too. I think it's great you all spend your time and energy to leave me a comment that you think is going to bother me. Hilarious!

Peace and love to all.

The best part is that you achieved the realization that *you* are beautiful, without having to emulate ridiculous "standards" of beauty that fashion, media and popular culture try to push all women. 'Jubilant Consciousness' is such a moving expression for that part of your journey. Thanks so much for sharing your story.

Peace and wellness to you and yours!
