Cheka (CheeChee) Owusu, was raised on self love. Her core family stabilizes her positive foundation enabling her to exist peacefully in a world of self hate. That is until a visit to her grandmother’s lead to the perming of her hair and the violation of her beliefs and independent power. Cheka must not only process the events of her visit for the understanding of its causes, but she must also re-affirm her sense of self and empowerment. “Black Girls Don’t HAVE Straight Hair” is a long overdue testimate to positive action counteracting the negative.
