By Brian Friday Bwesigye: There is something about hair. Remember Mary Magdalene wiping Jesus' feet with her hair? Okay, Delilah disempowering Samson by shaving his hair? Okay, let us talk about the more contemporary times. The symbolism of the Rastafarian locks for example. Now that we have gone political, let us also talk about the natural hair movement.

By Brian Friday Bwesigye Dear Hillary I know I will not get a reply to this letter. If I do, at least not in the form in which I am sending mine. Well, my atheist friends even say that when on that 25th day of October 2011, you breathed your last, you ceased to exist, that life ended for you. […]
