Composition of the bonnet

Did you know 

My hair has the strength of 10 men?

It can bend, straighten and revert back at the drop of water?

In the winter months 

Moisture deserts my hair like leaves fall from trees?

So I have to oil it up 

Plat it up 

Tie it up 

In satin scarves and bonnets to keep the moisture in 

You say that you dont like black women who wear bonnets to sleep at night

We say 

That you know nothing about hair 

Protective of it like our children 

We drew mazes in them for you to escape

Stored food for you to eat

With our,

Twists, braids, Locs, cornrows 

Sew-ins, blow outs, colored hair

Straight, curly, Afros 

We are so universal 

So dope

Such trendsetters

Do not beg for acceptance in a society that doesn’t accept you

Glow in your own

Step to your own beat

Begin your own beginning

We are exclusive

Because We have no choice 

And those who cannot appreciate 

Those who choose not to understand 

Who would dare to call us  â€œghetto”

Those who would dare to Compare us to other races of women..........

Do not deserve to be in our presence

 

-Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

Standing O Queen! Speak that truth! Share that truth.. The Black woman must be respected period. She is the most disrespected creation in this world and she has brought forth the most life! She is sacred and must be honored.. Such a beautiful gift to humanity is the Black woman!

Obvious to any and all who have eyes which can see. Ears, which can ...listen,,, and a mind, thats free of chains which restrict their ability to reason. A FREE mind... can respect, a condition of shades of beauty, which reflect from ...a sister of heavenly design... Choose the one who chooses you, do not act the fool ...to demonstrate beyond all doubt, that you cannot relate to a woman who shows ...true...
