  • Self Reflection

    Self Reflection
    I wear headwraps and turbans in public, as a reminder of an obligation I have to myself and to show modesty. One day I was going to take a test, in the testing center, but before I did, the lady told me to take off my headwrap. I was hesitant, and I asked again if I had to. She said yes and at that moment, that changed me. I was so upset at the world I live in today.
  • Learning My Background

    I'm in the process of learning y culture/background. Reading more on African- American culture. Just finding my place.
