Our hair has its own radical beauty
While conducting spiral revolutions
Making us sistahs Nubian cuties
Creating cultural contributions
Everyday what it takes is not quick
Can I treat it like a glorious crown?
But when it's done, it's almost like magic
I think it is right, either up or down
It does what it does - no explanation
From Afros to braids to dreadlocks to curls
It screams style with a loud exclamation
A celebration for every black girl
It proclaims where our legacy presides
And pays homage to our ancestral pride
This is what I turned in. I created the art on the side too.
:D ❤️
