our hair is our memories,
our source of
strength and power,
a celebration of
our lives.

never had long hair—she was told it was too wild. Grandma couldn’t
have long hair—hers was taken from her. But one young girl can’t
wait to grow her hair long: for herself, for her family, for her
connection to her culture and the Earth, and to honor the strength
and resilience of those who came before her.
