I LOVE & WHIP MY HAIR

If you are younger than 10 years old, then this is old news. If not, then continue reading.
It's a good day to be a young woman and a young woman with curly hair. You know why? Because of Willow Smith's Whip My Hair Video is out (see my previous post here) and Sesame Street's I Love My Hair Video is out (see my previous post here). And guess what? Someone took the Sesame Street Video and remixed it to Whip My Hair. Between the mixes, remixes, and me whipping my hair to keep up with the dance moves, I'm dizzy.

And your hair extensions (and flat irons) too because Antoine Dodson is coming for them. He gon fiiiiin em, he gon fiiiin em and put them in his hair. Yep I said it. So Run and Tell that!!!!

If you don't know who Antoine Dodson is, check him out here and here where the youtube video has over 32 million views (and check out the original interview). He recently performed on the BET Hip Hop Awards. No need to run and tell that. For more, check out his interview by the Root.

And Whip it too!!! This is such a cute video. And the young woman singing has a lovely voice. It's catchy song too - "I wear braids and pigtails too, I love all the things my hair can do!" So so so true!!!! Great song not just for little girls but for big girls too!

This leads me to a larger question - Can this Sesame Street video help young kids break the racial stereotypes instilled in them, as demonstrated by the 1940s Clark Doll Experiment or the recent doll test conducted by CNN and help them embrace their own unique identity and the differences in others?

Keep in mind the words of Whitney Houston - "I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. SHOW THEM ALL THE BEAUTY THEY POSSESS INSIDE."
