Greetings Sista's

Greetings My Sisters, and Fellas,
I have joined the ranks of those who are desperately in Love with their Sisterlocks. I begin by giving much thanks to my dear friend, though we have never met, Blaqkofi. You are my inspiration. Thank you so much for all you have contributed to us newbies, as you so carefully and maticulously documented your journey. You are Beautiful inside and out. (Blaqkofi's blog ) I also want to thank my Wonderful Husband, Rafael, for all of his support and Loving Kindness as I embarked upon this new journey of self discovery.

6 Months Locked




Here is my Mother standing with my uncle. My Mom is a very classy lady, who dresses as if she is about to walk the runway every time she walks out the door, even if it's just for a short trip to the store. She has raised three daughters and tried earnestly to instill in us a certain dignity, and manner of presenting oneself, especially in public. Well, needless to say, my locks doesn't fit her idea of properly groomed hair. She hasn't come to understand why I want to lock my hair. I hope someday she comes to know the beauty and freedom of our hair in its natural state. I hope she also comes to understand the mental slavery and brainwashing associated with stretching our natural hair into submission. When our minds are set free, we are free indeed.
