A minority of people know I am a writer and have been since high school. Sometimes keep my works, but this one I want to share with everyone. Maybe one day I'll get the courage to do a little spoken-word. hmmm...baby steps. Enjoy!

Au Natural Ode by Jojo
I love the fact people love my hair. I also love the fact people ask me if it's my real hair because they think it's a wig. I love the fact white people always remind me my hair is cool and then tell me how much they wish they could do that with theirs. I love the fact people want to touch my hair. I wear messy styles most of the time so I love the fact it doesn't bother me when they do. Wendy Williams says you have to pop and tease...love the fact it's a different adventure everyday with her. I love the fact I've accepted my shrinkage...she's so stubborn that she'll act anyway she wants. Maybe she's shy because I never was. I love the fact I got over whatever my issue was and started wearing my hair the way it grows out of my scalp. I love the fact that as a black woman I have hella options. Altho I'm wearing my 'fro don't overlook the fact I'll reinstall my virgin Indian. I love the fact I'm still top model fab with both. I love the fact I spend so much time fingering and fluffing it, but I know that I am not my hair. I love the fact that just as a necklace or earrings my hair is an accessory. Actually it's my favorite. I love that people stare at us. Man oh man, does it make she statement effortlessly. I love the fact that she broadcasts my true beauty. I'm not covered by 20-24 inches of another's. This is my ode to my 'fro. And I love the fact I'm in love with her!
