I liked how African beauty Lupita answered Tanisha's question about to relax or not to relax altering their original appearance... She says, "Just do it and for her it was never a question and she never had that debate to relax or not to relax; that's limitation that one puts on oneself but it doesn't actually exist".

You see how Africans think? They are who they are and because they feel good about themselves they don't even think about silly things like how we do. I wish we could as Black Americans enjoy this type of liberation! One day soon, we shall!

Ok, perhaps Lupita never thought of altering her hair, but she did pray to God about altering her appearance when it came to her skin tone... hmmm so she did struggle with her image until one day she saw SuperModel Alec on the pages of top magazines.

I guess we all have ' demons ' to deal with. I'm glad Lupita overcame her ' demon ' and embraced her God given hue to be as confident and outgoing as she has become!
