My name is Tanya Wright. I am an actor (ORANGE IS THE NEW
BLACK, TRUE BLOOD) with naturally textured hair-- and,
for most of my life, it has been the bane of my existence.
I've tried everything in the book to tame my springy coils: heat,
chemicals, weaves, braids, you name it! When I decided to embark
on a career as an artist, my harried life was more than a notion: I
worked two jobs, had no car and juggled auditions, living the lean and
mean existence most young artists can relate to. During this time, I
embarked on a parallel hair odyssey, and thought:
“If I could get control over my hair, I could get control over my life!”
I FOUND GOD IN MY HAIR is a culmination of 98 sometimes-humorous-
but-always-thoughtful spiritual lessons I learned from
her relationship with my hair. Also included are famous hair quotes
and a photographic journey of all of my hair incarnations through
the years (from my childhood role on THE COSBY SHOW to present
day) and all the hairy, behind-the-scenes stories! Whether you’re
African-American, Caucasian, Latin or of Mixed heritage you’ll be
able to see yourself in this book. Come join us on the ride!
