be the change i want to see in the world

Going through the process to become a volunteer advocate for abused children in the foster care system through CASA in my local district. I’m totally psyched and this also pacifies my longing to become a social worker.

and i am doing it!! by becoming a spec. ed. teacher. time won’t pass fast enough for this one. yea i still want to a be a social worker. even get a speech path. degree. but later i guess.

is what we all hear them say. i have been donating to charities here and there although i am broke myself. when i am down this is the only way to make myself feel worth something. i always try to live my life with conscious thinking powering it. most times when i dont realize it, i am influencing others.

my SO has this huge change in how he sees african american women’s hair. i attribute this to my natural hair and how i wear it without fear or desire to run back to relaxing it. now he picks women out in the crowd who have hair like mine and even shares my opinion of some things concerning hair. wow i didn’t know i could do that. and i wasn’t even trying. it is important for african american women to accept their hair for what it is and not change it. that is one of things i would like to see changed in this world. so i am doing my part in making it happen. it is crucial for us to accept our natural beauty. that is one of the first steps us to our race becoming a better people. we can love ourselves from the core and not look outward for it.
