author: edited by Akosua Ali Sabree &amp; Otu Kwaku
description: This is a book that every African American family must have in its library so all generations can read about and ponder the struggles and glory we as a people have experienced in order to love the total essence of our true being. Hair Piecez: The Anthology illustrates the significant role that our natural when born hair plays in shaping our individual and collective consciousness from birth to death and in between, especially in our quest for psychic liberation and self-realization. Hair Piecez is an art and literary masterpiece that you will enjoy time and time again. --Nashid Ali, Master Storyteller and jeweler<br /><br />Natural hair care is my passion. I ve dedicated the last 16 years of my life to studying hair. This anthology is rich and fulfilling like a hearty healthy bowl of homemade soup for the soul. It felt good to be reminded of the wonderment of our hair. --Jena Renee Williams Rogers, Author, Hair Stylist<br /><br />Hair Piecez:The Anthology allows the readers to explore their own personal feelings about natural hair, health, and beauty. --Barbara Daniel Cox,President, The African Heritage Center
