When I was pregnant I was very pleased with the growth of my natural hair. My natural hair was so much more longer and healthier. Chile, my hair was thriving after I started taking Ferrous Sulfate for my iron deficiency. I will do a blog post about my iron deficiency soon as well.

Stay In Your Own Movie

in , , , by Linda B Hurd, February 16, 2018


I was re-watching an interview that Oprah had with DeVon Franklin on YouTube a day ago and one of the many messages that stood out to me from that interview was, “Stay in your own movie.”



Around this very same time last year in 2017, I discovered that I was 5 weeks pregnant. I for one had no clue that I was either. In fact, one of my co-workers told me that I didn't seem like my jolly-ole-self

I had thought about what she said and gave it deep thought. She did have a great point. I was tired, unmotivated while getting work done, and I was very dizzy. I felt like I was in a daze while at work. My first thought was I must have caught a cold or I was running a mild fever.

A few years ago, I felt like I had to stand out in the natural hair community. I went to the extremes to not look like a cookie cutter image of the next natural. I bleached, colored, and basically fried my own hair to look different. I wanted to appeal to brands by looking different. I was stuck in a place of constantly comparing myself to other natural hair women that I admired at the time.
