City: Portsmouth

Brain Injury: I had 2 brain injuries and a few concussions.  The first one was almost 20 years ago, in 1997, and I was hit by a drunk driver in January, and I was in a coma for almost 3 months.  The second one was 8 years later when I was walking up the stairs of my place on December 1^st and my sweet, adorable, little crap of a kitty, MooMoo, tripped me and I fell downstairs, breaking both of my arms and getting another brain injury.

Explanation of Mask: I made this out of one of my weavings.  I had a dream about doing a mask out of one of my weavings.  Although the tie going over my eyes may make the public think I am blind, the greater symbol is over my mouth because I don’t/can’t really talk. 

What I Gained:  I have a groovy idea about everyone and everything.

What I want the community to know:  We’re not stupid.
