🎀 About The Pink Ribbon Project 🎀

I remember being so terrified to lose my hair. When the clumps grew larger and larger, I finally made the choice to buzz it. For a split second, I felt a little control. I even thought, okay, look at this cute new style.

But then, even that little bit of hair began to fall.

Suddenly, I was bald. And the mirror grew harder to face. You try to show strength, but inside, you don't recognize the person staring back. The camera becomes your enemy.

I remember laying in bed, crying, not wanting to take off the wig or the makeup because without lashes, without hair, I felt like nothing. It sounds silly,l know, I should've just been grateful to still be here. And I was. But my confidence was shaken to its core.

I've come such a long way from those moments, and I'm still moving forward day by day.

This journey was given to me for a reason I'll probably never understand. Maybe to mold me.

Maybe to make me stronger. Maybe to give me a story to tell.

Now, on the other side of treatment, I'm celebrating a huge milestone: restoration.

With the help of a dear friend and an amazing program, I'm getting the chance to not only feel like myself again, but to step into this next chapter with joy and confidence. My new hair will be a visible sign of this new beginning.

This is about honoring the fight, and finally recognizing the woman in the mirror again.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. I can't wait to share the transformation with you.

Here's to new beginnings,
