Why African Women Must Go Natural

 THE NATURE OF SELF-HATE
----------------------------

By NAIWU OSAHON
-----------------
In 2008, when I launched the campaign with two versions of this article, inviting our African mothers, wives, sisters, and women folks worldwide to stop wearing White female hairstyles and damaging their hair with dangerous chemicals, many said I was dreaming and that it is impossible to change our women. Some even said I was mad trying. Our queens have heeded my call to the happiness and pride of our race. See how beautiful African women now look worldwide. Other races are now copying our women and that is how it is supposed to be, because our Mama is the mother of the human race. We do not copy others, we lead the way as the ancestors of the human race. See catwalks from Europe to the Americas, other races are copying us and looking good as a result. The most beautiful women in the world now wear and look typically African. That is what we now want to do with our spirituality. All Africans must go Ma'at from this moment on. Many are asking for the publication of the original document I published that transformed our female hairstyles and gave us our Nubian Queens world wide. Thank you, thank you, great sisters, mothers, daughters. We can't thank you enough. We are very proud of you all. Here is the original article published around the world.
