According to the woman, she noticed her hair had began to fall off due to chemotherapy and thought it wise to hit the barbershop for a shave.
''So today my hair is off due to chemotherapy, I am not changing who I am. It is only a symbol of step in a process, a process that I have to go through on my journey to healing! Am I worried about the awkward stares?
"Maybe a bit but whoever judges or stares does not know my story, my journey and it is not their business to! I will flaunt it when I feel like, and when I feel like I will wear a wig (men sneer again, like I said if I bought it is mine!", she captioned their photos.
In a bid to cheer her up and show her support, her family joined her at the barbershop and had their hair shaved save for one of her children.

''My babies and Charley joined me in solidarity. We are all bald except Jabali (he scaped, Ha ha infant privilege!) So if you meet me out there, stare if you want! Laugh if you want! My 27 corners are all laid bare for all to see. I will probably laugh with you.
"After chemo, my hair will grow back and if it doesn't, weave shops are still open! By the way be you, fear no one, laugh off your little imperfections, enjoy life, where you are is a step in a process, don't sweat it, it will pass! Kick! No process should change who you are unless you are becoming a better you! Bye weave for now, let me save Le hubby a few coins for salon visits,'' she added.
