The Strength in My Hair
Aisha, a spirited girl with a beautiful big brown curly afro, faces teasing at school that makes her feel small. Join Aisha on her journey as she overcomes self-doubt, learns to love her unique beauty, and finds courage with the support of family and friends.
Aisha loved her big brown curly afro and her hoop earrings. But at school, some children teased her about her hair. " - Why does your hair look like a big cloud?" they laughed. Aisha felt sad and didn't understand why they were so mean. She wanted to hide her hair and be like everyone else. It felt like her heart was clouded with a storm.
Aisha tried to tie her hair back to make it smaller. " - Maybe they won't notice my hair this way," she thought. But the other children still teased her. " - You look funny," they giggled. Her heart sank as she realized they wouldn't stop. The more she tried, the more they teased.
Aisha wore a hat to cover her hair, hoping to stop the teasing. " - Now they won't see my hair," she whispered to herself. But the children laughed at her hat instead. " - Why are you wearing that silly hat?" they jeered. Aisha felt like she couldn't win. Her heart felt heavier than ever.
Aisha didn't want to go to school anymore. " - I give up," she whispered to her mom at breakfast. Her mom hugged her tight. " - You're beautiful just the way you are, Aisha," she said. But Aisha felt too sad to believe it. She just wanted to stay home.
One day, Aisha's teacher, Mrs. Lopez, noticed her sadness. " - Aisha, your hair is amazing, just like you," she encouraged. Mrs. Lopez told the class about the beauty of different hair types. Aisha felt a spark of hope in her heart. Maybe her hair was special after all.
Aisha decided to wear her afro with pride. " - I love my hair!" she declared to her reflection. At school, she stood tall and smiled at the other kids. Some of them even complimented her hair. Aisha felt brave and happy. Her hair was her strength.
