"In my family, when the sun goes down, our hair goes up!
My brother slips a durag over his locs.
Sis swirls her hair in a wrap.
Daddy covers his black waves.
Mama gathers her corkscrew curls in a scarf.
I always wear a bonnet over my braids, but tonight I can't find it anywhere!"

We must train our children to do for themselves. Progress in life & in community takes a personal commitment to excel & be the best we can be. Our children must imagine the possibilities & actively pursue excellence. Our role is to encourage them in that pursuit.
