      @bookfan22 8 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      +Ciara Zoe from Urban Dictionary:
      Kitchen: Refers to the hair on the back of your neck that is nappy, or un-tameable - mostly a problem for black women and men.

  • @brookjackson675
    @brookjackson675 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    this woman spoke out so bravely and it crushed my heart when she would slow down. you could hear she and feel the hurt shes been through. you can tell shes been hurt, seen other beautiful women be hurt. shes strong and powerful! she is a crashing burning wave of exhilaration! she spoke so strongly and passionate and it moved me so very much! the respect this woman deserves has to be award winning. take her to public speeches, take her to private authorities! take her places because she needs to be heard all around the globe. we need more strong beautiful women like her to speak up and say what needs to be said! she is a proud Black Woman!!! 👊🏿
