What's a "Sunflowah?" A Sunflowah is a black woman. The flowah of the black woman rather. The Sun in "Sunflowah" represents the melanin we withhold. Our melanin was sunbaked just for us and that's what makes us so unique. The "Flowah" is our hair and body. As sistah's we must understand our bodies are our temples, and our hair (Flowah's) is our crown. And we should love every inch of ourselves! In these series of short stories, the women you're going to read about will be faced with similar struggles we've probably all witnessed as black women. "Cultural appreciation, Consciousness, "You're pretty for a dark girl, and self love will be conveyed in each story. Each woman will have a tough beginning but will shortly "bloom" as they run into sorts of lessons and understand self love. The first story is about Kyla(She prefers to go by Kylee). Kyla was given up for adoption by her mother who was a black woman, and 13 at the time of giving birth to her. Kyla is adopted by a white family and learns the norms and culture of this family. As she continues to grow up, she continues a bitterness toward her birth mother and the black community as a whole. Finally her birth mother is able to get in touch and invited Kyla to a Mother's Day dinner at her home. Kyla's adoptive mom thinks it's a great idea and Kyla proceeds to take upon the invite. While visiting she isn't her nicest and is "awaken" by her sibling. **PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT! **This story is basically the kick off to my other stories I plan on adding eventually.

  • Instead of him

I look at California. She sits on my lap in the circle of us pot heads. She's not what I expected. She smokes she's the most sarcastic person I've ever met. She's smart but hates school. She's a girly girl who hates dresses. She defies logic in so many different ways I expect her to sprout a horse tail and start flying. Heck when we first talked Tuesday she called me handsome and looked confused herself. She acts like she has no secrets, and maybe she doesn't, but there's something different about her. She holds confidence yet she's shy. She smokes even though she's supposed to be the typical good girl. I'm determined to find out what she's hidding if it's the last thing I do. "Baby it's almost one am." I say glancing at my phone. "We should head out, your dad already dislikes me." She turns back to me and nods. She lightly stands up and walks to the door but waits for me to walk with her. "Trevor!" She yells in her friends ear making him jump away from her other friend Greg. "You get a ride with Mar okay?" He needs and foes back to his public make out session with the other boy leaving Cali with a look of approval and bewilderment. She clips her hair over her shoulder exposing the skin of her upper back due to the low dip on the back of her dress. In the split second I see the skin I think I see a black crow with a green eye, but that's crazy. Only crow members can get crow tattoos and only descendants of the original crow can have the green eye. By tattoo that's on my lower back has a red eye. The red eye means non blood related member. But I have a smaller one with a blue eye beside it. The blue eye means leader. When California's biggest secret is discovered by her new boyfriend will she be able to keep her past and family secret the secret she wants it to be? Will the secret tear the couple apart or push them closer together?
