I got braids two weeks ago and the amount of people on social media telling me to take them out because I’m not Black is astounding. I am Coloured.

 And the irony is, the only people that tell me to take them out are not Black, nor do they have any say in what I can and can’t do with my hair.

I am a Coloured woman and I am proud to be one and if someone says it “makes me look like I want to be Black”, then I will be proud because Black women are absolutely gorgeous and being compared to them is an absolute compliment. 

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that you can’t do something according to your race unless you know that culturally, it is unethical or illogical. Be you and be brave.
