“I completely shaved my head. Not a strand of hair left. Leading up to the actual event people would ask “Are you nervous?” And, for the most part, I felt nothing but excitement. Though, I would be lying if I said that that excitement was never paired with uncertainty – an uncertainty rooted in the trivial concerns of whether or not I would look “pretty.” I was falling prey to the very social expectations which I was trying to challenge. And so THAT is why I am doing this. My worth, my identity, my beauty is not defined by my physical attributes.”
