The Future I Want, The Future with a Plot Twist, and the Dramatic Future

Story 1: My ideal future would be me working from home as a full-time YouTuber and blogger, getting paid to travel to make appearances for waves and collecting residual income. I also plan on working with toddlers doing early interventions at their homes twice a week helping them develop their speech one on one on the side with my master's degree. I'm done having kids am I am happy stopping after I have my second boy. I have my step-daughter and she fulfills plenty of what I need in a daughter so there's no need to try again for my own. I plan to have a decent size tiny home on wheels that I can take with me anywhere to travel to events around the US and I also plan to homeschool my children on that journey so that they can be well-rounded. My husband and I would still be married and our strong would be better than ever as he is YouTube famous with me as the famous wave couple and beat maker for Krump tracks (a style of dance songs meant for a dance called Krump.) My main home would be somewhere in Providence RI even though I'm from Boston to have a good enough distance from my family but close enough to still visit Boston. I would have a Honda Odyssey and my husband would deck it out and drop it low to the ground. He would also have multiple cars of his own. My husband and I would be making so much money that we could start savings accounts for each of our children and have residuals split between them going in constantly, however, our children would be disciplined and learn how to save their monies and spend wisely. Everyone would have great credit scores and my kids would be able to stay with me in my other regular and larger home in Rhode Island as long as they needed to feel stable. I would have paid off all of our debt and my husband would be free from child support.

Story 2: The story takes a turn and I end up getting pregnant again, this time with a baby girl that I name Nilanna Venus Silva. Nilanna is much younger than my other kids who are already teenagers themselves so I start to focus more on her and less on travel. I instead plan to keep my larger home in Rhode Island and start working strictly from home putting speech therapy on the back burner during my three-month maternity leave. I have a hard time leaving my first daughter when it's time to go back into work so I look for work at a daycare instead and become a teacher at whichever school Nilanna attends so that I could always be with her until she is around 4 years old. I then start to homeschool her as well along while my sons are in college and my step-daughter is living in my tiny house traveling or parked in my backyard. My husband is supporting us but is older and is having a hard time having the energy for a young baby all over again but he still manages to make me feel like a queen and helps out a lot to let me sleep. We are still making youtube videos and collecting residuals, so we are financially set and decided to retire our day jobs to focus on Nilanna and she too gets a bank account so we work harder on having more content on our youtube page so that our residuals are greater.

Story 3: With Trump being in office, he passes a law sending all black people to Africa using HR121. People forced to go and some people want to go because Black Panther was filmed there and a lot of people believe that Wakanda is real. Our family ends up getting shipped there and we all have to learn how to survive in a new habitat, get used to the extreme heat, and learn how to hunt. Every family becomes a slave to a Ghanian king and he forces us to pick cotton or our heads get cut off. No one ever assumed that black people would be slaves to Africans and America would be made white again instead of great again. My husband, my family, and I all stick together and find a way to escape and keep moving across Africa to a cave underground where no one finds us. The cave is located in a rain forest, so we try our best to collect rainwater when we feel it's safe to come out of the cave and when we feel the container we made out of mud that has hardened over time captures it. My family is forced to become vegetarians to survive because we eat the plants of the forest to survive. Sometimes we get lucky and my husband goes out to hunt when we hear creatures nearby, but for the most part, we have to live off of vegetation. My master's degree goes to waste and my husband and I have no technology or access to the internet to make money, so we live the rest of our lives hidden in the cave for survival.

A Passion for Waves

Currently, I am passionate about a hairstyle called waves. Waves come in many different patterns, there are 360 beehive,360 swirl, 540s, and 720s. I have the 360 beehive pattern of waves where there are no slants, my waves are just connected like ropes all throughout my short hair. Waves are achievable through the repetitive motion of brushing and combing your hair and making sure you sleep with a durag on at night so that they don't get messed up. If I could make a living with just brushing my hair I would, I am even considering taking it seriously and starting a youtube page where I show my progress in waves. 

Tying my passion for brushing my hair can actually be a career. I would love to have a stress free career of modeling waves, trying out new products to review, and even supporting black-owned businesses that make things for waves such as clothing, pomades, butter, and oils. Initially, I cut my hair short a lot and when I met my husband in 2015 he taught me the art of waving and showed me people who have become famous because of this hairstyle. Google Poppy Pharoah, 360 Jeezy, or even 360 Wavy Baby. 360 Wavy Baby is a famous 3-year-old waver! There are also many awards given out on wave pages on Facebook and Instagram that wavers can compete for. Waving or anything can be a career with the power of the internet.

As mentioned before, I would like to support black-owned businesses. Waves are achievable by people with a curly or wavy texture and usually, that means the black race can best achieve this hairstyle. To me, black people are any people who aren't white. I also want to inspire other females who struggle with societal norms and internalized racism. Girls do not need to have fair skin or long hair to be beautiful. My 10-year-old stepdaughter is a prime example, she struggles with wanting to be a white girl because she was conditioned to believe that being white and having a more manageable hair texture is more beautiful. I even felt ashamed to have Michael Jackson posters up because one day she said she wanted a different nose and lighter skin like he got to have. I had to cut my hair off and start waving to show her that not only white barbie dolls can be beautiful, she saw her dad's love for me and how we bonded through a common hairstyle and that motivated her to embrace her own waves that she has when her afro puff is pulled back. I want to make a difference with this hairstyle and I've already started to!
