I just got my new HapaTeez™ designed by Yayoi of Watermelon Sushi fame! "Hapa" is the Hawaiian pronunciation of "half", and these shirts are a great way to celebrate our multiple heritages. The proceeds help fund the making of Watermelon Sushi, the movie.

Hello Teri,
You may be tired of listening to it, but I have to say it again: you hair is wonderfully pretty!! I hope mine becomes so manageable like yours soon.
Thank you for your kind words about my hair! There is no reason you can't have hair like mine. It's just a matter of how we treat it that makes a difference.
I grew up between races, between states, between classes, and between cultures. I'm black and white, and grew up mulatto in Kentucky (it was stamped on my school transcripts) and as a black kid in an all white family in California. I struggled with my hair my entire life. It seemed to symbolize every way I was "other", and I punished it as surely as I felt it punished me. And then the most amazing thing happened. I decided to accept my hair as it is, and just learn to take care of it, not try to force it to look like everyone else's hair. It took a while to figure it out, but now that I have, now that I accepted my hair and let it be itself, it has thrived. My hair truly seems to symbolize my inner journey. I've found that when I made peace with my hair, I was actually making peace with myself. Now we are both happy.
I don't always post to this blog as often as I mean to, but you can always see what I've been doing on
site updates , or check out some of my art at TeriLaFlesh.com.
