Naturally Obsessed

Have you seen this film?? While flipping through the TV this morning, trying to find something to occupy Niecey Poo, I came across the title of this film Happy To Be Nappy. I was like "Huh...What"! That's not a title you see everyday on your TV guide lol! So I quickly clicked it to see what it was about. Immediately my heart was melted! It had already been on for a minutes before I tuned it and I caught it right when these 2 little black girls are talking about their hair. These girls were talking like I wish some adult black women would! They just love their hair...how it moves, what they can do with it and how it's so different from the other girls in their class. The fact that their hair is different didn't matter at all, because they love it!! I look over at Niecey Poo's face and she is hanging on to their every word lol!!I was proud of them like I knew them personally. All little black girls should feel this way, kudos to their parents. After the girls, Mary J Blige narrates a cute poem celebrating our hair :)

The film is not just about hair though. It explores all the many differences that make us who we are and how we deal with them...from a kids point of view. It covers various topics from kids with various backgrounds. It's an awesome film that I think every child should get the chance to see. Heck, even some adults could learn a thing or 2 for these children!

I'm sure most of you have heard already that comedian Chris Rock is coming out with a documentary titled "Good Hair".  This film is supposed to expose what it the term "good hair" means to those in the African American community and our obsession with relaxing our hair.  The film also exposes what other races think about our hair.  Judging by the trailer below it looks like it will be hilarious take on a very serious issue in our community.  Issues that have affect most, if not all, African American women at some point in their lives.  Good luck to Chris Rock and those behind the scenes who helped him make a film like this possible.

Thoughts ??!!??

P.S. Al Sharpton know he wrong...LMBO...Fun Times!
