Don't ever hide your coils, kinks, and curls….ev

Don't ever hide your coils, kinks, and curls….ever!⁣
⁣
When I visited Nepal in 2018, I never felt insecure about my hair ever before. Nepal occupies 0.1% of the Earth's land space. Small is not even the word to describe them!⁣
⁣
Yet, I felt even smaller a few days into my trip. ⁣
⁣
At first, I proudly paraded my coily crown around Kathmandu and Pokhara. I might have been the only black person in the country besides Morgan Freeman who was visiting the Dalai Lama.⁣
⁣
Upon arriving at a small village, school children poked their heads out of their classrooms admiring us; drooling over the opportunity to touch Americans for the first time. ⁣
⁣
I realized 30 minutes into the visit that I wasn’t the object of their eyes. Instead, they hovered over the white couple like vultures scavenging for fresh prey.⁣
⁣
But it wasn’t them that bothered me so much. It was the former principal and his search for "truth." ⁣
⁣
He wanted to know “𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙮?” and “𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢”. ⁣
⁣
Aha! - I thought. Could this be the reason why the children didn’t want anything to do with me???⁣
⁣
Apparently, I couldn’t have been from America because only white people occupy the continent.
⁣
We should acknowledge that people around the world are curious about blackness and are not inherently racist. But, that didn’t stop me from hiding my hair for the next few days.⁣
⁣
A day before I departed, I rediscovered why I went natural. Like being black in America, I have every right to be who I am in my most natural state. I couldn’t allow others to dictate the texture of my hair, my heritage, or my birthplace. ⁣
⁣
So this clip of my life is a reminder to never hide. Be you. Stay true. And I hope you share and show off your Fro-Journey for FrOtober! ⁣⁣

Did You Know….⁣
⁣
October is really FrOtober??⁣
⁣
Well, here’s a little history lesson:⁣
⁣
Tammy Facey, the Founder of Jim + Henry, created #FrOtober stating: “The history of the policing of black people's hair runs parallel with the history of repression itself. Thanks to the spotlight of the Black Lives Matter movement and literature acknowledging the rich history and texture of Afro hair, such as Emma Dabiri’s ‘Don’t Touch my Hair’, women in 2020 are learning more about their coily texture and celebrating it.”⁣
⁣
Can I get a…..Amen?⁣
⁣
How are you celebrating FrOtober?⁣

How old were you when you realized that doing nothing was doing something for your mental health???⁣
⁣
Yea, it took me nearly 30 years and I’m 32. ⁣
⁣
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, which started yesterday and like many people, this time has been super difficult, including the loss of loved ones.⁣
⁣
As I sit here trying to collect my thoughts, please remember to give yourself grace and allow yourself to feel how you feel. You owe it to yourself. ⁣
⁣
Before you go, I love how Mental Health America lists the “7 Actions to Take During Mental Health Awareness Week” at this link ➡️ https://mhanational.org/mental-illness-awareness-week⁣
⁣
I love you and take care. ⁣
⁣
Some Important Dates this Week:⁣

On Monday, we celebrated International Day of Peace. Its 2020 theme was “Shaping Peace Together.” ⁣
⁣
Instead of celebrating just one day to spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic, why not make it a habit. ⁣
⁣
Everyday! ⁣
⁣
The shit we done been through this year warrants more than just a day to peace. We need all the peace we can get. ⁣
⁣
Don’t you agree? How are you showing compassion and kindness?⁣

Caring about what other people think sucks!⁣ ⁣

Caring about what other people think sucks!⁣
⁣
And, what sucks even more is feeling guilty about not living up to their “standard.” ⁣
⁣
Then, feeling pressure to follow this path that you didn’t create for yourself even when your mind & body says STAWWWPP!!⁣
⁣
Sounds familiar?⁣
⁣
Then you feel inadequate which causes anxiety and more guilt.⁣
⁣
Then there’s this never-ending cycle of inadequacy, anxiety, and caring until the point of “F@*k this!” comes out your mouth.⁣
⁣
Are you at that point?⁣
⁣
Here’s a great quote via a Youtube Interview with Bri Babineaux:⁣
⁣
“I was concerned about other people’s opinions…but as I continued to go through this journey and path I began to not even care what anybody thought about me and what anybody had to say about me because at the end of the day you don’t have a heaven or hell to put me in.” ⁣
⁣
There’s no shame in living your life for you. If you agree, type “I’m living for me!”⁣

You see this girl...she didn’t know anything about the world or traveling...but⁣
⁣
She did love her Spanish.⁣
⁣
I’m always surprised at how many people say that they knew they were going to travel the world or loved before they were even able to.⁣
⁣
Not me.⁣
⁣
I only loved what was around me, including the languages I couldn’t speak.⁣
⁣
I miss connecting to the locals, communicating with them in their local tongue, and swaying along in the streets as nature seduces my thoughts (I love nature lol). ⁣
⁣
We often take the little things for granted. We woke up one day and all hell broke loose.⁣
⁣
Now, that we’re almost at the end of 2020 (and hopefully the pandemic), we can take a step back and reflect on our behaviors -the good & bad- and do better.⁣
⁣
So, now that you’ve had some time to reflect, what have you learn about yourself, the world, or your goals during this time?⁣

Raise your hand if you’ve been humbled about the latest events in 2020…⁣
⁣
Don’t feel ashamed.⁣
⁣
I’m definitely feeling super humble and grateful for life and health, BUT I also know when travel opens up (worldwide), I will NEVER complain about these things. 👏🏼 EVER 👏🏼 AGAIN.⁣
⁣
Travel was swept from underneath us and it’s unlikely to look the same, so I’m going to keep my mouth shut, attitude in check, and pray for better days.⁣
⁣
How about you?⁣
⁣
Here are 6 things travelers will never complain about travel ever again...⁣

Drop your comments below and let me know which do you agree with? What else will you never complain about again??⁣
