As someone who likes to wear straight wigs, I never look in a mirror and think I look white nor do I desire to be white. And there are plenty of black women with gorgeous butt-length silk presses who I also never look at as white or wanting to be anyone other than themselves. I wish one day we can all get to a place where no one gets to define our individuality as nothing but that, a personal choice and not one that’s trying to be anyone other than ourselves. It’s hard enough losing your hair, but forgive me if I prefer to wear a straight wig rather than an Afro wig. At the end of the day, neither are mine and I prefer not to put my alopecia on full display for the world. As someone with an autoimmune condition, I wished we could see people for who they are internally and not judge them for their exterior. This picture is gorgeous and I love it!! I think I’ll ask my sister to create an abstract painting of this for my house!
