Hey boo boo and baldy, here's a way we can hopefully make sure the thread seems appropriate to MB members who want everyone's posts to include some about music:
what songs do you like that encourage women to feel good about being bald?
I started an Activist Song thread under "General Music," baldy, so that you may post there if you wish to post about any bald songs you like. Then you'll be posting in two threads!
I googled "bald is beautiful" and found this song which I feel is very empowering, although it is not all about baldness:
India.Arie - "I am not my hair."
The lyrics say: "I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am not your expectations, no. I am not my hair, I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within."
I thought you might like India.Arie's song because the singer mentions you can shave off all your head hair (like an African Queen) and that does not affect who you are as a person. The song encourages people not to feel pressured to have their hair one particular way or another--not to feel bad if it is natural, not to feel bad if they have no hair at all. I feel it has a very nice message! Are you familiar with this song?
And here is a genuine Bald is Beautiful song
though this one is more about men losing their hair! However, it is a step in the direction of all people feeling comfortable with baldness.
