grow out my relaxer and have natural hair (read all 3 entries…)
I'm doing it 1 week ago

So right now I have about an inch and a half of new growth. Right now I’m styling my hair in curls so it actually looks like an afro. I used henna in my hair for strength and I’m doing hot coconut oil treatments. My hair is moisturized and looking really good. I don’t have to wait until my hair grows out before wearing it in a natural style. I feel great!

Forgotten Africa: An Introduction to its Archaeology 1 week ago

I have given up on finishing “Forgotten Africa: An Introduction to its Archaeology” by Graham Connah. I chose this book from the library because I wanted an introductory book about Africa. There were other books int he library, some were multi-volume references, and some were too old. I liked this one because it was an introduction and it was only 179 pages of reading. But it starts from the time of cave men and the whole thing is based on artifacts. Its not really about people. I found it hard to keep the dates straight. It wasn’t about historical events at all. So I read 101 pages and then decided I wanted to read something else. So if you want to learn something about African history, I don’t think it will help to read from an archeological perspective. Its really boring and not what I wanted. I guess someone studying archeology would love it.

African Philosophy 1 week ago

I have finished reading “African Philosophy: An Anthology” by Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze. I chose this book from the library because I wanted to know about African philosophical thought. I didn’t read the whole book though. Some of the chapeters were about things like Igbo and Akan philosophy and actually, I gave up on those chapters. Philosophy is hard to understand and I found the new terms and concepts to be very confusing. Its hard to think differently about the world and thats what it takes to understand philosophy. So I gave up on reading those chapters. I also skipped over the ones about religion because I’m not religious. I read other chapters about politics, society, colonialism, race, gender, and slavery.

I feel bad that I gave up on the actual readings about actual philosophies and writings about ethics and science, but it was just taking me a long time to read and it was frustrating me. I wanted to read something else. The chapters that I read were fantastic on a wide range of philosophical thought. I think on the book cover it says that this is the most comprehensive book of African philosophy around and some people don’t even believe there is such a thing as African philosophy. But philosophy is what is produced when someone asks questions about the world and life and comes up with explanations for things. Every culture in the world has its own philosophies. It was a good book and I wished I had read more of it.
