And I'm adorned with the crown that's making this up. And I'm fine under cloud 9 ...”
For every girl, boy, woman, or man who has ever been told that their natural hair is not the beautiful, powerful, marvelous, awe-inspiring & worthy crown that it is.

Cloud 9 by Donnie
“Happy to be nappy, I'm black and I'm proud
That I have been chosen to wear the conscious cloud. And I'm fine under cloud 9 …”
There is soul in your locks. There is vitality in your curls. There is strength in your coils.
Your hair is the physical manifestation of the power that you possess.
It was handcrafted by the Creator himself; He twisted every lock, molded every curl, and shaped every coil. He took His time to make you look special.

Because this world can be so harsh and give you rocks instead of pillows, you will always have a soft place to lay your head
Because this world told tells you that you aren’t enough, your hair reaches out toward the heavens to compensate for the difference
Because this world can make you cry; when you lower your head in pain as the tears fall, your hair still stands tall with pride
Because this world tells you that you aren’t beautiful, you were given a cumulonimbus of your own that the sky itself envies
You are your hair because your hair is beautiful.
Therefore, you are beautiful too.
(I had been inspired lately by the song Cloud 9 and other things such as the "I Love My Hair" video from Sesame Street and I really needed to write this.)
