I can’t change much in the world, but I can change my hair with NO ONES PERMISSION. Same goes for nails and why nail art is SO IMPORTANT TO BLACK WOMEN’S CULTURE.
Secondly, in a way if a black woman does not assimilate (straight hair/long hair/short nails) IT IS A PROTEST. Our bodies are walking, talking protests. That “No, you DONT own me! I can’t wear my hair/nails/clothes any way I please!”
It’s also SELF CARE. Black women making themselves look good for themselves. No one else. So don’t stop doing your hair the way you want. Your nails. Etc. Fuck anybody projecting onto you, black woman.
