Cardi B's Influence Helped Teen Wigmaker
- Teen wigmaker, Trenton Lee, has partnered with the Ronald McDonald House.
- Lee, just 16, creates wigs for celebrities like Cardi B and Blac Chyna.
- Lee has created a GoFundMe page, hoping to rase $50,000 to help pay for custom wigs and the construction of a children’s salon for cancer patients.
Lee told Essence magazine, "People ask me all the time about what it's like to work with celebrities and what keeps me up at night. My answer is always the same I have a gift, and I feel as though I have a responsibility to share it with the world."
In a recent Instagram post he talked about his admiration for artist Blac Chyna, saying “She's such a boss in every way and gives the best advice… I'm so thankful for her and her opening her arms to help me grow as a hairstylist.”
And Lee is sharing his gift in one of the most admirable ways. He’s putting his talent and skills to great use by giving back. His hair company, Luxe by Trenton, is helping children who have suffered hair loss due to medical reasons, like cancer, by working to raise funds to aid in the creation of wigs for them. These colorful pieces will hopefully not only put a smile on kids’ faces but will also help them to make their way in the world with greater confidence.
Lee has created a GoFundMe page, hoping to raise 50,000 to help pay for “custom wigs and the construction of a children’s salon at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City for sick children experiencing hair loss or damage.” Most kids Lee’s age wouldn’t already be thinking about ways to give back and we love him for wanting to help kids going through, what may be, the difficult part of their lives.
Lee’s client Cardi B knows how to make a confident, show-stopping entrance, as she owned the airwaves this summer with her hit song "WAP" (sung with rapper Megan Thee Stallion, 25). We’d share some of the lyrics here, but Cardi delights listeners with her shock-value-loaded lyrics, so it’s better if you just hear the song for yourself.
As for Trenton Lee, we hope he keeps living his dream and wish him all the best as he helps to better the lives of those battling cancer.
