Truly so well written and such a beautiful perspective on growth and how its not always linear! Loved “final look without the uncomfortable middle” - so good!

LOVE 🤎 From the lens of a woman, I love this perspective, it’s something I never thought about as a Black girl spending most my Saturday in the beauty shop. We’re taught to sit in stillness as soon as our moms realize our hair is long enough to be beaded, braided or hot combed LOL! Hair in our community has always symbolized so many things, but this added a new layer I hadn’t considered before, the patience. For me, hair has always been about freedom of expression and creativity, but I love how you tied it to growth in discipline and structure.
