Celebrating My Caribbean Heritage

BLACK HAIR

Hair, hair, hair
It's everywhere

Long, tall, short, beads
Curly, straight, kinky

Thick, thin

Where ever it is beautiful

Black hair
We weave, lock, coil
Braid, twist, color
Relax, natural
Black hair

This clearly distinguishes

People of African decent

Africans, Americans, Caribbean

Latinos, Europeans, Natives and Mixed

Black hair

An art form to some

Some a culture, a style

A show of spirituality

An awakening, hidden identity

Black hair

For me a Dugla-Guyanese

I love to express my afro centricity with

Long, soft, relaxed, beautifully colored, styled

Black hair
