		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I know.  We&#8217;ve been through this before.  I disappear then come back with promises to be more diligent.  And then I disappear again.  Well that can best be explained by saying that after four years of being natural and three years of running this Blog, the novelty has run out of the whole process.

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve never much been a fan of Essence magazine, primarily because I have never really been a member of their target demographic.&#160; Sure I’m a contemporary, “young” Black American woman, which is supposedly their market but… Well, I’ve never been “trendy” and that’s who this publication caters to mainly.&#160; I could give a care less [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s been a bit of a movement over the summer to boycott Six Flags Amusement Park in Maryland because they “refused” to hire a woman due to her hair style choice.&#160; The hair style choice in question was Dreadlocks.&#160; This decision set off waves of protest throughout the African-American natural hair community who saw it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Wow!&#160; It’s been a months since I updated because I really haven’t been feeling the whole “natural hair thing” much lately.&#160; All the pomp and circumstance and ceremony and making life revolve around products and styling just became too much to want to deal with.&#160; And the energy in some of the “communities” is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first started out on the natural path I had sooooo many misconceptions about what to expect.  Of course there were the negative myths that had been committed to memory over the years that everyone on this journey has to break through at one time or another; black hair isn&#8217;t &#8220;good&#8221; hair, straight hair [...]]]></description>
