Assigned & Unapologetic
God Doesn’t Make Mistakes. And Neither
Did He When He Gave Me This.
I was five years old when alopecia entered my life. Before I even had the language to explain what was happening to my body, I was already learning how to hide it. I wore hats. I avoided mirrors. I prayed quietly that nobody would notice. And when they did — and children can be cruel — I learned to carry the weight of hair loss like a secret I was ashamed of. At the age of nine years old, I purchased my first wig with the money that I made from braiding a neighbor’s hair, and from ther was the beginning of my 50+ years of wearing wigs.
But here’s what I know now that I didn’t know then: God was already writing my assignment.
I didn’t choose alopecia. It chose me. And for years I treated it like a burden — something to manage, something to conceal, something to survive. I didn’t yet understand that the very thing I was hiding was the very thing God intended to use. That the tears I cried in private were watering seeds of purpose I couldn’t yet see.
Then one day — after years of wigs, and doctors, and learning, and growing — something shifted. I stopped hiding and started showing up. I put on a wig, looked in the mirror, and for the first time I didn’t see what was missing. I saw what was there. A woman. Whole. Beautiful. Purposeful. Assigned.
When the world shut down in 2020 and COVID sent everyone home, most people went quiet. I went live. Every single week I showed up on camera in a different style, a different wig, a different look — bold, confident, and completely unapologetic. I called it The Huge Wig Show. What started as something fun became a movement. Women started watching not just for the hair — but for the permission. Permission to be seen. Permission to play. Permission to stop letting hair loss define them.
That’s when I knew. This was never just about wigs. This was ministry. This was mission. This was the assignment God had been preparing me for since I was nine years old sitting in that mirror wondering why me.
Now I know why me.
Because someone has to go first. Someone has to stand up and say — you are not your hair loss. You are not your diagnosis. You are not the names they called you or the stares you’ve endured or the hats you’ve worn to hide. You are a woman of purpose, of beauty, of power — and you deserve to walk into every room like you know it.
Every photo in this gallery is me. In real time. Across the years. Showing up in every season — through ministry, through entrepreneurship, through motherhood, through every high and every valley — with my crown on. Unapologetically. Because this is what God assigned me to do. And I will do it boldly until the day He calls me home.
This page isn’t just my story. It’s your invitation.
Welcome to Assigned & Unapologetic.

I STILL SHOWED UP
There is a photo that lives in my heart as much as it lives in a frame. Me. In my cap and gown. Graduating.
What most people don’t see when they look at that photo is everything that tried to stop that moment from happening.
I was the little girl whose wig got snatched off in the hallway. The one kids targeted because hair loss made me different — and different, to children who don’t understand, can feel like a target. I spent years not just navigating alopecia but navigating the cruelty that came with it. The humiliation. The tears cried in bathrooms. The mornings I didn’t want to go to school, because I didn’t know if today would be the day someone tried to take my crown again.
But I kept going.
I showed up when it was hard. I showed up when I was embarrassed. I showed up when every part of me wanted to hide. And one day I walked across that stage — in my cap, in my gown, and in my truth — and I graduated.
Nobody could take that from me.
This page is dedicated to every woman who has kept going through something that tried to break her. Your crown may have been pulled off. Your confidence may have been tested. But if you’re still here — still searching, still hoping, still trying — then you are already winning.
Keep going, sis. Your graduation moment is coming.
