Having the Biggest Afro Physically Possible [and other things you will deal with]
I stan for my natural hair. Once an avid relaxer fangirl, I now shout "YASSSSSSSSSSSS" really loudly any time I see a natural proudly rocking her kinks.

This post is going to be a bit different from the rest. I don't have any tips, or bits of advice, just the ramblings of a particularly reflective mood I was in on the metro earlier today.

There is a song by Bill Withers titled "I Can't Write Left-Handed."
