Diary of a Thin Hair Sister

I am right at the beginning of my sisterlocks 'journey' and very pleased and proud that I finally made the decision. Being a tad surprised (shocked?) at my thin hair, I thought that I would chart my progress and share my experience with a community of people both looking to start or already on their sisterlock voyage. (Do not make copies of my photos!!)

Progress?




I had the opportunity to visit Hotlanta for the first time a few weeks ago. While sitting at the hotel restaurant my colleagues and I could see the swimming pool. I commented on how extraordinary it was to see little Black kids and little White kids jumping into the pool together. It was a sight that wouldn't have been possible 50 years ago.

Thinking about this on my way to and from my hotel, I couldn't help but think about this other establishment: Hooters! 99% of the waitresses working there were Black, but 97% of the patrons were White men... (at least this was the case during lunchtime).

So what do you all think? Racial progress? Integration? A sign of the work still to be done?
