Mentally preparing to escape the winter 🌴 Eye know that “going natural” is different for everyone but it pains me to see our story exploited without the courtesy of the honest representation of the DEPTH of WHY we are even needing to RAturn to our NaTuRal state.☀️ We can’t ignore the systemic presumption that European standards are supreme. This lie is still reaking havoc on the minds of millions of people today! We’ve forgotten who we are and our narrative in the hands of our enemy will always leave us wanting... we have to answer WHY and HOW it is that as a global people we’re the most exploited and impoverished yet spending billions on fake hair. In deed we need healing.... you can’t speak this truth without people feeling offended or as if you’re “judging” people for their personal decisions, but the truth hurts. It’s not a judgement but a fact that, collectively speaking, we have our values and priorities fucked up. It’s not personal, it’s political — whether we like it or not. #NothingButLove #FreeYourMind 🙃 Photo Credit: @prestonroundtree 💛 . . . #HightopsandHeels #HTxH #CaboVerde #CapeVerde #WestAfrica #Afraka #Africana #Afrika #naturalhair #blackhair #afrohair #twa #bigchop #hairstory #hairjourney #travelnoire #growmyroots #ourhairstory #Praia #islandlife #nappyhair #throwback #flashback https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYbpO9ln9O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r2fc68kfb1iv

Over 5 years ago eye cut off my hair and decided to leave behind who eye thought eye was and what eye thought made me, to literally RAturn to my ROOTS! 🌴Cabo Verde is where eye started growing back my hair without any chemicals AT ALL — no shampoos, conditioners, just good ol aloe vera and authentic black Afrakan soap! That’s why my tips are golden and sunkissed without bleach. Eye moved back HOME🌍 and lived there with my love @prestonroundtree for a year of self exploration, clarity, research, transformation and RAjuvenation! It was not easy, but it is thee experience that catapulted me into myself, my purpose and DESTINY! Been back building the future with my father and looking forward to spending the winter in CV😄☀️✨ Love always to my heart @prestonroundtree for capturing all of these photos! 📷 . . . #HightopsandHeels #HTxH #CaboVerde #CapeVerde #WestAfrica #Afraka #Africana #Afrika #naturalhair #blackhair #afrohair #twa #bigchop #hairstory #hairjourney #travelnoire #growmyroots #ourhairstory #coconuttree #Praia #islandlife #nappyhair #throwback #flashback https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQPZUMlpcY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=43lcl2o3gdtc

We have to go back to the roots and the indigenous vegetation because the artificial/engineered foods are destroying our bodies and our planet🌿 The power is in your CHOICE.
