About Me:
As long as I can remember I have had AA. I went through stages of just having patches of hair missing to having all of it gone. Within the last five years I lost my eyelashes and eyebrows. I have dealt with so many people being mean, but I have also dealt with people that accept it. I wish I could say that as I get older less people talk about it or make fun of me for it, but unfortunately that is not the case. I am happy with the way I look now, but never go without a wig because I like the way I look with hair and because I don't want to give people anymore to talk about. I am currently in last semester of college and graduate in decemebr.I am majoring in social work and i went to Uganda this summer to work and take a class. I have an amazing mom, twin sister, and brother...and no my twin sister does not have AA (everyone always wonders that). I love my friends and am learning to get over having AA, even though it has been almost 22 years I still have not accepted it, because I never think about it or deal with it. Feel free to ask me anything:)

    Hi Whitney, thank you for reesponding.....I am embracing my gender issue, and hope that it allows me too be happy or happier./.....I have lousy natural eyelashes, and yes, being mostly bald.. I want too find a nice feminine wig that looks natural, and lasts a while.....I have been wearing synethetic wigs, and they always looks wiggy........I also feel more feminine with my wig and cannot imagine having the strength not too wear it charlee
