I Am Adenike! My Crown IS Precious!

I Am Adenike My Crown is Precious!

This poem is an expression of the meaning of my name Adenike, which means "the Crown is Precious," and my alignment with my Ancient Ancestors, who traveled and establish civilizations all over the planet. We give honor to the Neteru-  Ma, Nu, Tefnut, Maat, Tehuti, Ausar, Auset, Heru, Our Elemental powers, also known as Great Spirit, I Am, YWHW, Obatala, Allah, Mother-Father-Child, We are all composed of stardust. We are Indigo KRST.  We are Children of the light. It is my wish to instill positive self-esteem within our youth, and their appearance in the world. Our hair is our beautiful spiraling crown. The melanin of our skin is a phenomenal covering that is healthy and gorgeous. There is nowhere on this planet, where our Ancient Ancestors have not been. Even right here in the Americas. We were always here before the Caucasian explorers and invaders ever appeared.

As a little girl, my Mom would hot comb my hair for church. l recall, sitting very still in a kitchen highchair, listening to the grease and my hair crackle and pop through the hot comb, and going through the fear of getting burned on my ears or face. I remember her saying , "let me get in this kitchen!" I lived in an integrated environment throughout my childhood, often bullied by caucasian children, who pulled and spat in my hair. Every day I ran home from school to wash my hair. I remembered feeling sorry for myself. I hated myself. Then I remembered one day crying, then wiping away my tears, and just looking in the mirror, and saying to myself, That God made me perfect, just the way I am. I learned to embrace myself... I remember the 70s era and watching many Indigo women wear their hair in Natural Afros, as an expression of Black power. I wore my own natural Afro and refused to ever straighten my hair again. My mother bought me wigs to hide my hair at public events. She wanted me to conform and be accepted by caucasians. Later, As an adult, I wore my hair in lox and embraced my KMT Ancient Afrikan Heritage. Now I teach other Indigo Afrikan Girls about natural living, health, and Wellness, STEAM education, home Economics, Recycling, and Art whenever I can, using the Black Panther food program and Freedom School model, with Amen Ankh Akademy ACE Green STEAM Home School Communiversity, and You G.R.O.W.W. Girls- Teach a Girl, Heal a Nation… "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." i have created a Poem about my hair... Called: "ADENIKE! -My Crown Is Precious!" https://adenike-amenra.pixels.com/featured/adenike-my-crown-is-precious-adenike-amenra.html

I am so impressed with the CROWN Act. Thank You Mayor Q!

The idea of "good hair" In the U.S. society, and nearly everywhere that I traveled with my father, who was an Airforce Tech Sargent, was an alienating concept, both by Caucasians and especially painful by people that looked like me. This discrimination was especially brutal when I looked for employment. I have been told to cut my hair, wear a wig to hide my hair, or straighten it, just to be considered acceptable on the worksite. It wasn’t until 2017 that the U.S. military decreed that braids and locks were acceptable hairstyles. 

It’s because of this type of discrimination and marginalization that we needed the CROWN act, an ordinance that would ban discrimination based on natural hair. 

This is another example of MicroAggression.  The way you look, the color of your skin, being who we are naturally, can bare a penalty.  It’s a way of saying, if you don’t conform to our standards, you aren’t worthy of food, housing, healthcare, or employment. 

Now that I am a Grandmother to two beautiful Indigo children, it is even more important that my children are allowed to flourish as they learn at school and move into Economic development opportunities.  As Black hair is politicized, and Black people continue to pay a price for being who we are, discrimination based on hair will continue to stifle opportunities for Black people.  

It is possible to envision a world that accepts us for who we are, that embraces and includes our culture, that moves beyond the status quo to true inclusion.
