On My Inability To Grow A Real Afro

Ever since I was young, my hair has been very long, straight and curly.
 
Notice my long curly hair at such a young age. I was about 3 years old.
 
Growing up in a perdominately white school district, it never occurred to me that my hair was any different from other little black girls... at least until I hit middle school. That is when the taunting started.
