Freestylin with Queen Hatshepsut

I had a great Saturday morning at the Kimbell Art Museum viewing the Queen Hatshepsut exhibit. It closes tomorrow and since I haven't been able to do any of the things I planned during the holiday break, I promised myself I'd not let the Queen leave town without treating myself to a viewing of her artifacts. X was kind enough to accompany me. It was a fascinating exhibit.

Can a queen be a king? In ancient Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut did and reigned for 20 years. Hatshepsut was neither the first nor the last woman to rule Egypt, but her reign was the longest and the most successful. She is not as well known as Cleopatra, however her achievements were more significant. She often dressed in the traditional garb of male pharaohs and even led her troops into battle. She is the only Queen buried in the Valley of the Kings. And check this out - many of the artifacts clearly showed and noted the sistuh's in braids or locks!

Here are some more photos of our visit. I hope you enjoy.

Happy Holidays

Happy holidays to all of my nubian locked sisters & brothers! It has been a wonderful time of family, friends and holiday celebrations.

Although my warm wishes are somewhat late, it is never too late to thank Him for the reason for the season....Blessings to all!

(I'm freestylin' during my holiday break. My locks are freshly washed here and partially blow dried on low heat. My intent was to stay at home all day and allow them to air dry. But I had to leave unexpectedly and I didn't want to go out in the cold with damp hair. Blow drying alleviated the shrinkage that I so dislike right after a wash. I like the end results here. Although I'm cautious about using heat consistently on my Sisterlocks.)
