Assemblywoman Britnee N. Timberlake Hosted Her 5^th Annual Covered with Compassion Event 

EAST ORANGE, NJ – Assemblywoman Britnee N. Timberlake hosted her 5th Annual Covered with Compassion community event, where she collaborated with vendors and community partners to provide free wigs and support services to women experiencing health-related hair loss. The event was successful as many women battling various forms of cancer, alopecia, and other diseases that lead to hair loss were beautified and reminded to love themselves despite their experiences.

“This event is dear to my heart as I used wigs, makeup, and other forms of beautification to make my grandmother happy throughout her battle with cancer. I know how much it meant to her and I want other women to feel beautiful as they deal with their health related-hair loss conditions,” said Assemblywoman Timberlake.

Assemblywoman Timberlake would like to give recognition to Angelina Killane-Sims of AAngels, Democratic State Chairman Leroy Jones, Mayor Dwayne Warren from the City of Orange, Councilwoman Adrienne Wooten from the City of Orange, Union Baptist Church of Montclair, June Jarvis and Shaffine Mohammed from Mary Kay, Donavalisha Mickens from Delightful Hands by Dalisha, Rita Williams and Deborah Rose from Black Beauty Hair Salon, Kierra Kaiser and Tony Flood of CareWell Health, Pat Jones from Lavender Wisps, Grace Olyfveld, Nadine Wright-Arbubakrr from Nassan’s Place, and Khenan Telford from Telford & Associates. These vendors and event sponsors played a huge role in the event’s success.
