What is the Natural Thing to Do?

meiah-shaun

Many woman of color are concerned about their hair and make sure that it is attractive or “laid” at all times. Meiah Shaun’s Marvelous Are Thy Works covers the topics of self love, natural beauty and natural hair empowerment. Fatima is the owner of All Natural Hair Salon along with a friend and her cousin. An entrepreneur, she wants to expand into other business ventures for her salon. She desires to empower African American women to accept and wear their natural hair by motivational speaking about the natural hair movement. Her partners, however, do not embrace her vision of traveling around the country to spread the message. They each have a vision of their own. Fatima wants to be married and is concerned that her boyfriend of five years is consumed with his corporate career and has not discussed marriage. Many professional women have to determine what they will settle for in matters of the heart. Will she just accept the relationship in its stagnate state or allow her business partners to hamper her dreams? Will she press toward achieving her dreams?

Marvelous Are Thy Works by Meiah Shaun was not just about encouraging woman to wear their natural hair without chemicals. The story is about empowering women to walk in their purpose, to love themselves and to embrace the dreams God has placed in their heart. It is about accepting different visions among friends, yet being true to your purpose and having the faith and courage to step outside of your comfort zone. The characters and their issues are real and women will easily identify with the issues that arise in the story. Marvelous Are Thy Works is an interesting read for women as a source of empowerment and self-esteem building. It would be a good book for a woman’s group discussion on issues of friendship, pursuing your dreams and self-esteem.
