I am planning a photo shoot with some of The Baldtourage members to make them feel beautiful. Many of these women have never taken a photo without their wigs on and I feel strongly about giving them an opportunity to get their makeup done, get professional photos taken, and fall back in love with themselves again. I am connected to this cause because I lost all my hair at age 23. I am a model and I've noticed when I get a great, professional photo taken of me, I love my bald look and I really want others to experience this same feeling. Losing all of your hair as a woman is extremely hard so I want to create a space and an opportunity for women to embrace it and see being bald in a beautiful light.
I will use the space to host a Baldtourage Photoshoot! I want to have a full day of glam, story telling, relating to others who are also bald, and an emotionally uplifting experience. This may be the ticket to some of these women opening up about their hair loss to their families, friends, or even on social media. I know my very first bald photo carried me a LONG way!
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
