While sitting in my mom’s new apartment one night, I debated what my next “hair project” would be like. I picked up my dyes and brush, and mixed away. The aroma of hair dye mixed with conditioner filled the room from ceiling to floor, wall to wall.

There are so many endless possibilities and colors to choose from, I just want to do them all! One of the first times I dyed my hair a non-natural color was this year.

Here, there, everywhere, all I see is more hair. Wild and untamable like a jungle, running freely all over me. Dark as the night, contrasting with my porcelain skin. Sure, I did start the bold brows trend, but that was short lived. While I look like a wildebeest, my mother resembles a Sphynx cat. Sometimes, I wish I looked like her, not having to care about wearing shorts or going down to the beach.
As I grew older, the intricate hairstyles my mom would create became a Mecca for a sticky fingers and stray paperclips. On annual school picture days, while the night sky was still soaked with gray and the golden streetlights barely peeked through the fog, my brave mother would undertake the task of pressing my unruly tresses. Those days, I remember feeling as if I finally fit in with all my friends with straight hair. Paperclips and pencils never tangle in their hair and I wanted the same for myself. I fell into the absurd illusion that looking similar to my friends could validate my place in the world. So I abandoned my mother’s hands

A young woman from Missouri who grew up on collard greens, cornbread, and fine recipes that any southern woman would come up with, that girl is not any bit of southern, only her nurturing and the hospitality of her upbringing is. Since the short hair cuts with borets attached to the very ends of my slightly coarse hair, it has only been a ride of modesty and innocence.
Naturally, during adolescence, I decided to test my independence, forge new boundaries, and find my personality. My hair was no different.
I loved elementary school until I got to the fifth grade. I started to get bullied every day, and it affected me physically, emotionally, and mentally. As the years passed by the bullying got worse. People would talk about my clothes and my hair. My mother did not always have money so there would be times I would have to wear the exact same clothes every week. Also, my mother did not know how to do hair neither. There were many times when my hair would be all over the place, and people would constantly pick on me about it. I use to wish that I was a boy so that I could beat up all of my bullies, because I felt as a female that I was too weak to defend myself.
