Tanisha’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Real Good Hair: Natural Hair, Sisterlocks & Dreadlocks

The Real Good Hair: Natural Hair, Sisterlocks & Dreadlocks by Linda Williams

2 highlights

because my confidence and acceptance has allowed me to forgive anyone who thought my hair was anything else other than real good hair,

I couldn't agree more. I had to have confidence to big chop in 2012. I learned to love me and the way my hair grew out of my head without trying to conform.

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”
