- About Me
- I developed alopecia at the age of 9. Around third grade, I developed a bald spot at the back of my head and hid it with a low pony tail and by fifth grade, I started wearing wigs because of shame and I survived years of bullying in middle and high school. (At the age of 13, I was diagnosed with JRA. I believe the stress of the alopecia, caused issues in my body that manifested into severe arthritis.) I started developing more confidence in college but, I still was not free from paranoia. Today, I have been delivered from all of the self-esteem issues and I choose to live a life that is meaningful. I am an educated and a talented business owner and I know that the alopecia makes me unique in a positive way. Even though, I am comfortable bald or in wigs, I am free from worrying about people's opinion of me; however, I occasionally seek information about alopecia because, I am a woman and I like hair and if there is ever a cure, I would like to experience natural hair growth again. I also can appreciate and empathize with everyone's testimonies about the survival and triumph over this nearly unexplainable and sometimes lonely condition. Now I know that hair does not define a person's worth or even introduce you to the core of the person's purpose. This life is so much bigger than hair follicles.
