Over his lifetime, acclaimed Nigerian photographer, J.D. Okhai Ojeikere, photographed thousands of hairstyles worn by Nigerian and African women. Today, these photographs have been seen around the world and continue to inspire stylists, hairdressers and photographers alike.

To pay homage to Ojeikere’s work, photographer Medina Dugger created the Chroma  photo series, which she describes as “an ongoing series that celebrates women’s hairstyles in Lagos, Nigeria through a fanciful, contemporary lens.”

There’s so much info about tucking and gaffs (less so) but to all new trans girls.. just get some cotton panties like boyshorts style and push it back gently.

 Like you might have to do slightly (slightly) more for tighter clothes or different fabrics but like… ya don’t need to tape yourself every day… or ever… and gaffs are good but unless you’re wearing something tight n thin cotton boyshorts or some other strong underwear will do the trick.

 Like all this info pretending like you need special gaffs, tape, to shove ur testes up into your inguinal canal, etc. is classist, physically harmful, and preventatively daunting information to be spreading without disclaimers like this.

When I was a child, so much of this world didn’t make sense to me. I didn’t understand why people said and did the things they were doing.

As I grew older and observed the suffering, the wounds, and the confusion we all carry, much became clearer. Especially as I picked up my own confused suffering and wounds along the way.

We cannot and will not see clearly until we get in touch with our own inner pain. Until we allow it to be felt, forgiven, and transmuted, we preclude the possibility for our own basic sanity.

If we hold this crazy realm responsible for our inner pains, we will run around trying to fix things in order to make ourselves feel better. In the process we will only spread that confusion.

Yet by healing ourselves we blaze a trail in the collective mindspace of those who share wounds similar to ours, easing the burden of their own pain and making room for their own healing.

By working on yourself, you help others. Never forget that. It is not selfish. It is the only way you will have something lasting to contribute going forward.

Be true to this and you will be a credit to the human species. A new earth awaits.
