Miss Dominica-Natural Hair Beauty Queen (Miss World 2013)

33. I agree. But you and I both know why the First Lady can't go natural.

Sadly, the black community itself would be up in arms over it. We still have a long way to go before we embrace our natural hair texture. We've been brainwashed to believe that we are unattractive in our natural state. The irony is: the larger society doesn't understand this. They don't understand how racism has affected people of color on a large scale...not just black Americans. People of color in general, all over the world. European standards of beauty are still the norm and anything that deviates from that--including kinky, curly hair--is still unacceptable. But sadly, black Americans have internalized that self hatred and so we reject natural hair ourselves. Luckily it's changing. Slowly but surely, we see changes. I've been natural now for over 5 years and love it. But it wasn't easy. My own family had issues with it. I had some problems getting black men to date me because of it. But again, that's changing. Now we're seeing a rejection of wigs and weaves. Slowly but surely. More natural hair on black women. I think it's great.

This woman is absolutely gorgeous!! I hope she wins!!!!
