My Identity | My Thoughts
Everyday for over a year, I put on my wig and a brave face Amongst the stares and the whispers I questioned my own identity Wondering what people were thinking and saying and whether they knew I didn’t feel like me, or normal or anything I didn’t feel like I belonged to society or…

The Bold & Beautiful Campaign
Above image credit: Sam Ellis Losing my hair knocked my confidence a lot and for a while I couldn’t see how I could bounce back from it. It was during the period where I was travelling back and forth to Southend for my wigs, that I first had the idea. For as long as I…
