Models with Alopecia, Modeling for Alopecia, Getting our Alopecia name out there!!!

Hey everyone! I have always wanted to be a model from a little girl and when I was diagnosed with alopecia I thought my dream was done. Now that I'm starting to gain confidence I feel as though we need "real" models of all shapes, sizes, and hair (including us baldies)!!! Is there anyway to break into the business, are there alopecia modeling agencies out there? Also I have written some poetry I feel would be great for a campaign for alopeica awareness but how do I get it out there to showcase my writings?! Please help any advice welcome..I really want to make a name for us Alopecians and get Alopecia awareness out there. I have already written Tyra, Dr. Drew and a few others with no response. Lets get the word out there because we are people too. Every other medical condition gets a platform why not us?! Why aren't there big news for alopecia wigs, not to downplay cancer at all because it is a horrible disease, but their hair grows back and ours might not! Their should be locks of love also for Alopecians. Thanks everyone :) lets get noticed!!!

I want to model too I have done some modeling when I had hair but without hair I think I stand out more. I'm also a hair dresser with no hair. I think it really makes me a great spokes person for alopicia. I'm educating people that have never heard of alopicia daily. I stopped wearing my wig at the beginning of summer living in Oklahoma it was just way to hot to wear my wig.
