#27: THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY...

                 Me, my cousin Danielle and her beau Tres!

#27 If I’m not careful, I can be a hermit. I can spend days or weeks in the solace of my home and mind, creating worlds on paper conceiving characters that live. The importance of community, though, can never be underestimated. When I found there was a vibrant textured hair com- munity online, I was so excited! There was so much to learn, to share, to exchange. I felt like the community was something bigger than myself, something that I can both feed from and contribute to. My hair taught me the importance of community as an anchor and ever-present well of inspiration in my life. 

*Every day starting February 24th at 11:11AM EST (it is said that the angels sing at this time!) until April 10 I will count down the remaining days of our 'A Call to HAIRiette ARMS' fundraising campaign. We're raising funds to create an interactive series --with YOU!-- and a haircare line (a portion of which goes to charity, THE ACTOR'S FUND).

We'll share one essay from my upcoming book I FOUND GOD IN MY HAIR: 98 spiritual principles I learned from my relationship with…my hair! (via twitter: @tanyaTTwright, @HAIRietteharlem). As with all things that give you struggle, my hair has taught me a lot about life, love…and FAITH. It is my hope you will find inspiration in these essays to apply to your own life.
