Link: Hair by Elizabeth Acevedo...
Hair is one of the first poems I stumbled upon sometime around last year relating to the Natural Hair Movement and from there it lead me to explore even further about the ways the arts are used to advocate for the entire movement. This poem is clearly empowering especially with the finishing line stating that even though society is attempting to persuade you to fix your hair in order for it to fit better into the social standards (that can often be discriminatory), it's not possible because our hair was never broken in the first place.
