Me duele un chingo el corazón como mujer y como mexicana. Me llena de rabia e impotencia la situación actual en la que nos encontramos las mujeres en mi país. Con solo imaginar que la próxima víctima de violencia pudiera ser mi madre, mis primas o mis amigas, se me encoge el corazón. No entiendo que mierda tienen en la cabeza los hombres que realizan estos actos tan atroces. Es una situación muy jodida.

For people who still don’t see anything wrong with cultural appropriation, who still call cornrows “boxer braids”, “Kim K braids” or whatever - our cornrows symbolize liberation and freedom, it’s not your trendy hairstyle, it actually does have a history.

Since slaves were never taught to write and drawing directions was dangerous, because they could lead to them being discovered, captured, sold again or even killed by their master.

To reduce the risk of being discovered, women started weaving the maps in their hair, carving out paths with their cornrows. Some of the patterns even had hidden messages!

Yes, braiding existed in Africa way before, but it got a whole new meaning when Europeans enslaved millions of people. So next time you decide to go for a “Kim K look”, do a little research before you end up disrespecting someone’s culture and just, in all honesty, looking silly.
