". . . The flow comes from and is a part of an effect upon the senses of the observer and she who causes the soul to stir. It is fair to say the observed, and the observer co-exist within one. It is math, the law of math with its infinite way of being consistent. The symbol of hair for, within and from African women involves the intimate rush of knowing to belong to one's powers. Dreadlocks return millions throughout the African Diaspora to bound back from the terror of surviving under the dictates of slave master's grandchildren. The power within kinky hair ties strength to power, to purpose direction and in the direction where one is determined to go are the voices of Ancestors, who know us.
This powerful story is the kinky hair gone to the roots of the peoples of the darker hue..
This memory came from glancing into what is clear in your eyes!. . ."
