Virtuous Wisdom … the Pupil of the Eye

Here’s an article I just have to share with you. (Hopefully it will still be at the same link when you read this).

I read it and was floaded with memories of yesteryear.

If you are an African American woman, you will remember too. The hot comb, the burnt ears, the fear, and the hope that your mommy or auntie (whoever was pressing your hair) would be in a good mood before they got started and not be upset with anyone, because that could mean the difference between an “accidental” burn and a steady hand.

Read it and tell me if you don’t remember those old days. The article is entitled:

Combing through memories

For black women and girls, submitting to the hot comb is about more than straightening their hair. It’s tradition and even history.
