I decided to make a wig of my OWN hair that would bring me comfort during this challenging time. And I must say It was an empowering decision, and I'm so proud of it. And I want to send out a special message to all my Women brave hearts out there who are going through similar struggles... if you resonate with my decision and agree with it... I suggest you do the same. It will make at least one thing much easier and you will feel better, you will feel at home."
