naturals from around the world

So, I just wanted to say hello to the women from around the world who visit this site.
I had a notion that some BGLH followers were international, but it was confirmed by a comment on my election post.
I think being a black woman is a unique global experience — no matter the country, we face similar challenges.
I am always encouraged to see Black women from any country find their voices in fashion or politics or education or religion or whatever. It speaks to me personally.

I am kind of an ethnic hybrid myself.
I grew up in Jamaica, my father is Haitian and my mother is African American (Detroit).

All the international naturals out there, what country do you rep?
I’d love to hear a bit about your experiences…

    My parents are Jamaican but my mom has so many different backgrounds it’s almost ridiculous! She’s German on my grandfathers side and Irish on my grandmothers side. So my mom has wavy hair and my dad is all black so he has kinky/nappy hair, and i’m right in the middle, lol.
