I personally think that India Arie is an underrated artist, as are many others who dare to break away from the themes of money, sex, and violence that take over the pop airwaves. Oh and let's not forget the other theme of random nothingness that has joined the ranks. It's a shame.
Anyway, listen to this song entitled "Beautiful Flower" and let it remind you that you are a great person and can overcome any burden that you're going through.
Happy Sunday:-)

I don't know about you guys but Sesame Street was THE SHOW when I was a little girl. I watched it all the time. I just loved it!!!
Well, thankfully, Sesame Street is still going strong and teaching kids essentials that help to build character. I stumbled upon this video & all I can say is that they hit it on the head with this for little black girls everywhere!! It's the first time that I have seen any media outlet speak so positively to young black children about their hair and loving it as it is. Unfortunately, how our society is, hair is only beautiful when it is straight. These ideals are implanted into the minds of children very early, leading to kids being teased and ridiculed for their "bushy," "tree hugger," or simply "ugly" hair.
I give kudos to Sesame Street for targeting these children early and encouraging them to be confident in themselves and to appreciate the beautiful hair that they have. Maybe we'll raise a new generation that sees their hair as just another gift that God has blessed them with rather than a curse.
Go 'head Sesame Street!
