Whitney French and Josiane Anthony H compile poems, photographs, quotations, paintings, and prints by Canadian Black women for this zine dedicated to Black natural hair. The content is divided into four parts, "her power is in her hair," "I am a traveller on a quest," "as if I forget my roots," and "don't edit your exotic." There is a note from each editor as well as short biographies about the contributors who are identified as Trinidadian, Asian, Persian, Central Asian, mixed race, Cherokee, Jamaican, and Ghanaian ancestry.
