Goddess Braids. Maps. Seeds. Afros. Clay. Dreadlocks. Woven with the greatest care. Across different African cultures. Everything rich with meaning. - Centuries of meaning! Hair! It's woven with history. - It is living art--can be adorned with intricate rings, mother of pearl, feathers. - It is identity. - It shapes community. - It can speak to age, wealth, or power. - It provided escape maps for the enslaved to follow when written word was forbidden. Woven with seeds, pearls, gold, it provided a way to survive after escape. - And to many, it contains the soul.
