Black Beauty Standards

The black is beautiful movement has gone a long way towards reminding us that black beauty standards are as worthy of being respected and loved as any other skin color. And here’s a deep Truth (and by deep Truth I mean a truth that holds true for all cultures, for all people through all periods of time, in other words it doesn’t change according to some or other societal whim) – we are all beautiful Sacred Beings regardless of our body size or shape or it’s exterior color. Now those beauty standards are ones I can buy into!
When blacks arrived in the New World over 400 years ago, they quickly learned to devalue the color of their skin, their eyes, and the texture of their hair. Clearly in this New World, white skin was synonymous with beauty and prestige, and those blacks lucky enough to closely resemble the slave master were given jobs in the big house as cooks and menservants, while their darker skinned counterparts were consigned to the fields. This division of work along color lines gave birth to a de-facto caste system, the vestiges of which have survived today.
We all would like to believe that quaint saying, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, but how true and meaningful is that phrase when the beholder has been brainwashed, so to speak, into subscribing to the belief that beauty is the artificial look we see on glamour mags, in TV commercials, and even in some children’s books? For some time now, that image has consisted mainly of white women and the “white standard of beauty”.

Many wig donors come from China and India. The hair from these locations is typically referred to as Remy, Yaki, and Mongolian. Although this hair is mostly very good quality, it is course in texture and often does not look as realistic as it could on fair skinned or Caucasian women. For example, while darker or olive skinned women look amazing in Remy wigs, this would be a stretch for me because I am pale with freckles and light blue eyes. My biological hair is a very fine texture and auburn in color.
The beauty behind the SIPOC is that it is easy for the user to understand and helps to keep the team focused. A procedure can be represented in one page versus the seven to ten pages in a typically written document. I use the SIPOC to articulate and gain approval on the actual procedure steps. The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is then drafted from the SIPOC by business writers. The SOP is simply a representation of the SIPOC. Therefore the need to review the procedure document is reduced and the approval process is dramatically simplified.
Beauty is a quality possessed by an object or a person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the senses. When we think of the beautiful, we equate it with a positive feeling of pleasure or goodness. Beauty is a subjective experience that could lead to powerful feelings of attraction and emotional well being. As society imposes a strong expectation on women to be beautiful, beauty can present a standard of comparison and may cause resentment and dissatisfaction when not achieved. Beauty may have inspired humans throughout history, but the quest of beauty can sometimes lead to obsession and eating disorders.
Organic means literally organ, from organized living beings and it derives from the latin word arganon, musical instrument. In 1942 it acquired the meaning free from pesticides and fertilizers, being referred to crops farmed according to organic standards. It is easy to understand the confusion about this term as it means related to nature as well as free from pesticides and fertilisers.
