Leí un artículo hoy sobre una cantante dominicana que recientemente decidió a permitir su pelo ser natural y dejar la usa de las químicas para ordenarlo. Parece superficial, pero representa un tema más profundo de la sociedad y cultura. Las chicas dominicanas son ensenadas a odiar su pelo natural y los rizos parecen como algo malo y feo. Esta tradición no es única a la Republica Dominicana, existe en todos partes. Debemos cambiar este sentimiento. Todos somos hermosas chicas y ahora esta el tiempo para abrazar quien somos y ser orgullosas de nuestra herencia, cualquier herencia es.
Visite este sitio. Vale la pena.

I read an article today about a dominican singer who recently decided to let her hair be natural and stop using chemicals to straighten it. It seems superficial, but this represents a much deeper issue in society and culture. Domincan girls are taught to hate their natural hair and curls are seen as something bad and ugly. This tradition is not unique to the Dominican Republic, it exists everywhere. We should change this feeling. We're all beautiful chicas, and now is the time to embrace who we are and be proud of our heritage, whatever heritage that is.
Visit this site. It's worth it.
