In Sunne's Gift: How Sunne Overcame Bullying to Reclaim God's Gift, Sunne had to endure hair bullying and losing God's gift of spirally hair before coming to realize the inherent worth of afro-textured hair. The book's message is that all hair and all beings are worthy simply because they are God's creations. Sadly, this message has not reached homes, schools, workplaces or the U.S. government. Just ask Tiana Parker who was threatened with expulsion for having locked afro-textured hair, Vanessa VanDyke who was threatened with expulsion for wearing an afro or Rhonda A. Lee who was fired from her job as a meteorologist for defending her short afro in a facebook comment and the women of the U.S. military who are banned from wearing twists, dreadlocks and multiple braids/cornrows that are bigger than a quarter. Please protest this policy by signing this petition.
All of God's children,young and old, should learn Sunne's Gift's message of self-acceptance, self-love and bullying prevention.
