Marvelous Are
Thy Works is an inspirational story about natural hair empowerment, self love

Chapter 1
All Natural Hair Salon’s busiest time was the first
weekend of the month. Fatima made it to the salon at ten o’clock that morning.
After parking her car in front of the salon, she noticed Lauryn and Sheba were
already inside. The front window shades were pulled back and the lights were
on.
“Good morning, ladies,” Fatima said as she walked
through the door.
“Good morning, Fatima,” Lauryn answered, while
sashaying to her workstation in her high heels and locs pulled back into a
lobster tail style. Always the diva, Lauryn appeared to be in a good mood and
eager to work.
“Hey, girl, you finally made it in,” Sheba said as
she sorted through her laundry bag of towels. Her hair was loose in a kinky and
curly twist-out hairstyle. She was dressed comfortably in white skinny jeans.
“Are there any messages for me?” Fatima asked.
“A young lady called to make an appointment. She
requested a low maintenance hairstyle.”
“What time did she call?” Fatima inquired.
“She called a few minutes before you walked in,”
Lauryn replied. “She said her name was Danielle Evans.”
“Did she leave her phone number?”
“I put it on your desk,” she said.
Fatima continued to her station so she could check
her itinerary for the day. It was unusually free. “I’ll just work a half day
and meet up with my honey later,” she told her co-workers.
Fatima then sat in her chair and started daydreaming
about the day she would become Mrs. Ephraim Okoye. She could not wait to see
him.
“Ladies, what are your plans today?” Fatima
questioned.
“I have a couple of appointments for locs
retightening, and I got a new client scheduled this morning. He’s a chef and
new in town.” Lauryn smirked while doing a shimmy with her shoulders to show
her excitement.
“A new male client? Girl, you be pullin’ the men,”
teased Sheba.
“I need to pull a husband.”
“Baby, I met my husband when I wasn’t even lookin’.
I was minding my own business down at the Farmer’s Market and––”
Lauryn rolled her eyes. “Sheba, you’ve told that
story so many times,” she said, cutting Sheba off and looking down at her iPad
to show her disinterest in hearing it again.
Sheba walked over to Lauryn and tapped her on the
knee with her forefinger. “When you least expect it, that’s when you’re gonna
meet him. It happened to me, girl!”
“I wish God would hurry up and send him!” Lauryn
snipped. “Most married people forget what it’s like to be single, so it’s easy
for them to tell someone else to be patient.”
“That’s not true,” Sheba replied.
Fatima butted in. “Some women who are married have
never had to experience being single for long.”
“Don’t you just hate that, girl?” Lauryn said. “Then
they try to tell you to wait and have faith. Chile, please!”

great read for African American women to educate themselves about natural hair
