Popular traditional folksinger Fantacee Wiz Kamara has shared an emotional message of how her decision to shave off her 16 years old dreadlocks in solidarity with LAJ has psychologically affected her 17 years old brother. Fantacee posted this message on Facebook on Wednesday, while reminding young people to make the right decisions in the forthcoming general elections next.
Our last born is 17yrs & I locked my hair a year after he was born. He grew up with my hair and I never knew how he felt about my hair until a week ago when I shaved it off.
His expressions has been; aaaaaaaaaaa, aaaaaaboooo u nor treat me fine oooooo, aaaaaa me r nor able believe sef, why u nor ask me fos etc etc.
I had a conversation with him yesterday and this morning but I’m yet to explain to him the magnitude of it all.
He eyes says a lot more than his words. I told him I did what I have to do just hang in there believe and respect my decision for now.
I’m not ready to talk about it yet and when I do I’ll let you all know about it. For now respect my decision and my space. I’m constantly anxious in between anxiety but I’m taking it one day at a time.
Remember elections is next year, we have a task ahead of us as a country and as youths of this beloved country. We owe it to her to do right by her. Start thinking now because it’s just around the corner, what do we want for ourselves? What do we want to see? What decision are we going to make? 5yrs is not 5days!Leh wi memba usai wi don komot, leh wi memba usai wi de go.
PS: Breathe in and breathe out and put on your thinking cap! #TheNeedfulChange“
