Wow, do the children I work with love this picture! It has been such a great tool to connect them to feeling that things are in "their hair"....one young lady even made a pun regarding her "heritage".
Thank you Robert! A very personable man, and a great adoption.

Leslie contacted me within minutes of my posting this piece. She expressed her interest in collecting original work from African-American artist that will inspire her. Leslie is a child therapist and this piece will go along way in showing her clients that we all have things in our "hair" that may be keeping us from succeeding or encouraging us to succeed.
