For centuries, Black people have been forced to assimilate in a Eurocentric society - one that, particularly for women, has demanded a certain beauty standard that favors straight hair. Hair occupies a sacred position in black culture; our hair requires time, knowledge and care to embody its full potential. Black hair is unique, special, and something to be proud of. My Afro Puffs is a fun and easy early reader rhyming story book for young girls. This story will help children embrace their natural beauty through positive self talk and self acceptance.
