That is great! I wonder if this is simular to what the pioneers of the afto felt in the late 60s. I love to see other naturals!

BTW good to see you back making videos.

[AyannaNaeela]

I'm sure it felt something like this! I love it! It's so inspiring and uplifting! =)

It's good to be back. Been really busy lately!  The videos will keep coming but I'll have to prioritize a bit LOL

Wow that is truly amazing. Although I had my negative comments about my natural hair while being in my military uniform about a month ago..since my hair has grown I am able to kinda of pull it back into a nice puff and now I get a lot of positive feedback from both men and women in uniform. I was tempted to revert back to a perm but I'm staying true to myself and what I believe in.

2 months natural and counting...

[AyannaNaeela]

yo go girl!!!!! Stay true to what you want to do for yourself. Follow your heart =) If you do perm - let it because you choose to ... not because someone else's ignorance and/or intolerance forces you.

I think 09 has definitly been the year of putting naturals in the spot light, especially with Tyra's talk show topics and the movie good hair. At the end of the day, its really about what makes you feel good and being confident with what God gave you. Everything else is just superficial.

I have noticed that majority of black women on TV ads are natural...just wondering if anyboby else has noticed it? if not, start to observe....you will be suprised, it is a REVOLUTION!

@arrebiy- I have been saying this for awhile:) it's so funny how I am starting to see relaxer commercials now:)

[libralove83]

Glad I found your channel! Loving your hair girl! Anywho...it's great to hear that naturals are representing in higher/corporate places, we need more of that! :)

[acestarone]

wow good for you.i am glad you did that. too bad bill did not win. ay yi yi bloomberg. i am hoping for not too many layoffs in the near future

[leeeeeeeeeeeez]

better somehow. Even at uni, where I am right now, I don't know one black girl without a weave. I'm glad it only took me a year to come to my senses, and I can't wait until my hair grows back out to its full length do i can do a lot of beautiful and amazing stuff with it! luv ur vids by the way!

[leeeeeeeeeeeez]

you know what I realize, I don't know why we as black people want our hair to be straight. I mean I don't feel like I get pressure from white people to have my hair straight, I feel like the negativity comes from my fellow blacks, u know. I recently cut all my relaxer off and now I'm all natural and I can't tell you how many people (non-black) that said to me, why were u wearing your hair straight? You look so beautiful with your natural hair. And I knew this but yet I felt like straight was

ooh I dream of, when I can attend an event and my stistah s rocking there 'fro!! keep up the good work sis, one!

[bibliophreak]

Women w/ natural hair are considered educated, healthy etc. That is the audience they are trying to reach. The higher wage earners. I think that AyannaNeela's experience is proof of that.
