How did you feel about shaving your head and eyebrows?
I came into this project knowing that it was something that I had to do. Of course, your hair is so much of who you are and your eyebrows are so crucial to your expressions and your identity. Up until that point that I had shaved my head, it was all I could think about. I had cried beforehand and once I got there, and once we started, I realized this was a gift given to me and a journey I could take where I could learn a lot about myself. Nicole, one of my guiding lights, on set we chanted, "Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear," and it was such a happy moment, full of energy and good spirit. I was very fortunate and it was a blessing in disguise.
