Book Description
No More Hair Drama is a non-fiction book that chronicles the journey that an African American woman has taken in the world of hair through the many different styles, processes, times, and attitudes toward African American women and their hair. It is designed to be a learning tool showing the many challenges and pressures that have been put on African American women regarding hair. This book is a true testament of the African American womans journey into the pursuit of the perfect and ideal style and how that, at times, ties into a womans self-esteem. The chapters in the book take the readers on a walk through the past, present, and future of hair. More specifically, the book provides details on historical figures such as Madame C.J. Walker and the Bronner Brothers, hair care through the decades, spiritual, health, and cultural aspects of hair, the perspectives of men and women, and the relationship with corporate structures. After I locked my hair on December 26, 2001, my mission was to tell a story about my plight in finding myself through my hair, being comfortable in my skin, loving my distinct African features, and truly loving who God made me to be. It is my estimation that women of African descent continually connect hair with self-esteem and self-worth to the degree that we look at extremes if our hair is nappy or kinky then it is bad and if our hair is straight or loosely curled then it is good. No More Hair Drama is designed to be uplifting, inspiring, empowering, and a conversation piece for African American women and women in general.

Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
This book helps you to get to know yourself in a fundamental yet concentrated and simple way. You can simply read it or you can engage with it. With the help of numerous "exercitii", you are repeatedly invited to observe and experience yourself from two perspectives. On the one hand, there is your learned story, which began early in your life and with which you began to adapt in order to be loved or at least tolerated. It has something of an inner atmosphere that has become a habit for you and that determines your everyday life in a somewhat mechanical way, constantly repeating itself. This inner atmosphere helped you as a child to maintain your place in the family, but the older you get, the more it becomes an obstacle to you living your other side, namely your radiance, your Essence, your actual individual nature. Whenever you have the feeling that "this can't be all there is," something in you remembers this forgotten and buried erotic power. Such a dichotomy can be found in many psychological and spiritual teachings. The special feature of this book is that both sides are brought together to a central denominator. A simple red thread runs through both your learned story and your "Essence", which accounts for your unmistakable individuality on both sides. You have not learned to perceive it, because complexity and confusion almost always have a preserving and stabilizing function in the old story. The book invites you on a journey that can increasingly bring you into contact with the simple, constantly recurring basic formula of how you create pain, fear and suffering in your life. At the same time, the ability to "remember" your splendor and radiance may become stronger and stronger within you, opening the doors to a different perspective in which an unfamiliar lightness and joy form the basis of your life. However, all of this will only happen if the desire to come home to yourself is stronger than the mechanical compulsion to maintain your usual daily routine. The book is an invitation, but not a promise.
