2022 Recap
Thursday Dec 22, 2022
Thursday Dec 22, 2022
This year has had many tough moments for the hair loss community. We thought it was important to discuss the Jada Pinkett and Chris Rock Oscar incident further. We've had time to reflect on it more in the 9 months since it's happened. We also wanted to remember and talk a bit about sweet Rio and the importance of communities coming together in a time of hardship. Lastly, we recap our personal lives of 2022 to close out this year for Those Bald Chicks.
