Hey fam! Remember that post about my SIL’s hurtful hair comment? Well, buckle up because we’ve got a juicy update! SIL and I finally met up for coffee, but little did we know it would turn into an all-day heart-to-heart session. There were tears, laughter, and some serious real talk. We dove deep into my hair journey, microaggressions, and even the BLM movement. By the end, we were practically starting our own book club! But the real tea? SIL’s got some words for BIL… Grab a snack and let’s dive into this emotional rollercoaster ride!

Wow, what a journey! SIL and I went from awkward coffee to an all-day bonding sesh filled with tears, understanding, and growth. We tackled tough topics like racism, microaggressions, and even religion – who knew we had so much in common? SIL’s downloading books left and right to educate herself, and we’ve basically started our own accidental book club. Even BIL apologized for not thinking things through. It’s been a wild ride, but I’m so glad we took this chance to really connect and learn from each other. Now, let’s see what the internet thinks of this heartwarming tale of family, forgiveness, and fabulous natural hair! ♀️
