I am as white as they come.

42% English, 21% Scottish, 12% Swedish and Danish etc etc

But my grandfather. And my aunt. They have the curliest hair that I know comes from Mali. I carry that 1% with me, but with them it shows. And my grandfather’s mother was raised on a reservation in Oklahoma. I don’t even know her name.

But…I want to. I wonder. About which ancestor left me that 1% of the same empire Mansa Musa was from. The fact that that’s all I know about the country. I want to know their name. Their story. What on earth happened. Why don’t we know you? I can track my family back to a sister-ship of the Mayflower, yet I don’t know where I got this 1%.

It isn’t my culture. I am not entitled to it. But sometimes I just…wonder. I’m just a little suburban white kid but this is so important to me. They are so important to me.

People joke about having “1% black so I can say the n word haha” but this family member…who are you, and how have you stayed in my blood yet I don’t even know your name?

📚Let’s take a journey through the evolution of braids, exploring how this timeless art form has grown and transformed over millennia.

🇳🇦3500 BC: The Himba People of Namibia- For the Himba, braids were, and still are, a vital part of their culture. Each braid served as a social emblem, communicating everything from age and status to tribe and wealth. The tradition has been passed down through generations, remaining an integral part of the Himba identity.

🇳🇬x🇲🇱x🇬🇳x🇸🇳x🇳🇪500 AD: The Fulani People of West Africa-The Fulani people, spread across West Africa, are known for their intricate and distinct braid patterns. Traditionally, Fulani women would braid their hair with a central part, creating symmetrical patterns often embellished with beads, shells, and silver jewelry.

🌍 15th Century: The Transatlantic Slave Trade - As African people were forcibly taken to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade, they carried their cultural practices, including braiding, with them. Some braids were even used as a means of escape—patterns like cornrows were mapped out to resemble paths to freedom.

✊🏽20th Century: The Black Power Movement-Braids made a powerful resurgence in the 1960s and 1970s during the Black Power Movement. Icons like Nina Simone, Angela Davis, and Cicely Tyson wore braids as a statement of pride in their African heritage. The style became a symbol of resistance against European beauty standards, reclaiming and celebrating black identity and culture.

📌21st Century: A Global Phenomenon

Today, braids have transcended their cultural origins, becoming a global phenomenon. From runways to red carpets, braids are celebrated worldwide for their beauty, versatility, and cultural significance. However, it’s essential to acknowledge and respect their deep-rooted history. Braids are not just a fashion statement—they are a connection to a lineage that spans continents and centuries.
