But anyway....I took on the role of the "stereotypical nappy head". I eventually matured and realized that I was doing a lot of those things just to appear more "Black". Some of y'all ain't gon understand that but I'll do into detail about that one day. It's a complicated subject really. LOL!
But one thing that stuck with me in my transformation was the love I developed for poetry. I've been a poet since I was a kid. I was even in poetry contests. But it really hit me again in college. I don't write it much anymore but I have a great appreciation for avid poet flow-ers.
Especially the ones that have locs.
*swoon*
I mean.....wow. And then there's Dana Gilmore who is AMAZIIIIING!!!
Woooooow.
But yeah, poetry is dope.
