Question

How do I get over the fact that I am a black woman with nappy hair?

Answer 1

First, black women are spectacular, wonderful, s**y, beautiful, witty, grounded and all around an example to all of us. At least, many are that, just as many - choose an enthicity - are. If you are those things, even just one of them, you are exceptional.

On the hair issue, I would advise you do what men and women around the world do; see a good artist at a hair salon.

For myself, nappy is not a problem for hair. But if you want to change it, then do so.

Answer 2

Please look up "Maya Angeleo".  She is a wonderful black lady who has written beautiful poems and prose.  I love the one she wrote called "I'm a Phenomenal Woman".  Read it and let it sink deep through every fiber of your being.  I think once you truly understand that poem life will "open up like a beautiful rose for you".

You're not "just a nappy headed black woman".  Did you steal that saying from Oprah?  God doesn't make mistakes.  He chose you to be who you are.  It's up to you to become the best you can be. Blessings to you sweetie..<><):

Answer 3

I don't really think there is anything that needs to be "gotten over." There is nothing wrong about who you are or how your hair is.

The only people who think there are have just internalized a certain value system which may make them feel bad about themselves for no reason. I take it that your avatar is not what you really look like (it seems to be a light-skinned Asian person), so maybe you are one of those people? You might find this movie interesting; I came across it yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17fEy0q6y...

I'm sure you are a beautiful person!
