SO I'VE HAD THE DISCUSSION TIME TO TIME ABOUT HOW BEING NATURAL COMES WITH A LOT OF NEGATIVE BACK LASH SUCH AS NOT BEING ACCEPTED IN THE CORPORATE WORLD BECAUSE IT'S TO ETHNIC FOR YOUR CAUCASIAN COLLEAGUES WHICH CAN JEOPARDIZE YOUR LATTER TO THE TOP. I JUST FELT THE NEED TO SHARE MY OPINION. TO PERFECTLY HONEST I HAVE HAD MORE BLACK AMERICANS JUDGE ME AND NOT HIRE ME BECAUSE OF MY HAIR. I'VE HAD MORE BLACK AMERICANS WHO ASK "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO THAT TO YOUR HAIR" OR " WHY DON'T YOU KEEP IT TWISTED" ETC. AND TO BE MORE HONEST I'VE HAD MORE CAUCASIANS WHO COMPLIMENTED ME ON MY HAIR. SO IN MY EXPERIENCE I'VE SEEN MORE BLACK PEOPLE BECOME THREATEN OF MY APPEARANCE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WHAT THEY ARE USE TO SEEING AND THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW YOUR HAIR IS NAPPY. AND WITH THAT I'VE" BECOME MORE ACCEPTING AND EMBRACED THE NAPS IN MY HEAD BECAUSE AS THE SAYING GOES " I'M HAPPY TO BE NAPPY!"
