This song was a perfect fit for our See Beautiful's song of the month, the singer/songwriter is equally as beautiful. In honor of Childhood Cancer awareness month this was our choice:
"I am not my hair. I am not this skin. I am not your expectations, no. I am the soul that lives within. It's not what's on your head, it's what's underneath. Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person? Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity? I am expressing my creativity...Cancer and chemotherapy took away her crowning glory. She promised God if she were to survive she would enjoy every day of her life. On national television her diamond eyes are sparkling, bald head like a full moon shining, singing out to the whole wide world like, 'Hey, hey, I am not my hair. I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within.'"
These beautiful lyrics invite listeners to see beautiful. See beautiful beyond the surface. We hope it offers children who are fighting cancer an opportunity to see beautiful in all the beauty they possess.
You are not your hair. You are not your skin. You are the beauty that radiates from within.

I AM NOT MY HAIR by India Arie

India Arie, U.S. Ambassador to UNICEF, sees beautiful. She writes beautiful. She sings beautiful. She reminds others that they're beautiful. Her song, I Am Not My Hair, honors beauty beyond hair and reminds us that losing it doesn't define us. In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, this is the specific portion of the song we LOVE because it's sees so beautiful:"I am not my hair. I am not this skin. I am not your expectations, no. I am the soul that lives within. It's not what's on your head, it's what's underneath. Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person? Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity? I am expressing my creativity...Cancer and chemotherapy took away her crowning glory. She promised God if she were to survive she would enjoy every day of her life. On national television her diamond eyes are sparkling, bald head like a full moon shining, singing out to the whole wide world like, 'Hey, hey, I am not my hair. I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within.'"
