If find now that when I made the decision to not wear wigs anymore, it has given me a freedom to speak out loud about Alopecia. I've met so many people that have come up to me asking about my shaved head. It's funny to me because where I live, few people smile at you, let alone talk to you. But since going bald, people smile at me (not laugh) and ask me questions, and I enjoy telling them what I have and how I've accepted it. So facinating! I like it. It has given me a confidence I've been lacking for a very long time.

Praise the Lord, for all that He is and will be doing with His children. Iron sharpens iron and He uses the most unvaluable person to do His works.

I always love to encourage others with alopecia. I've been wearing my head bald for almost two decades. Most of that time, I did not wear a wig. Whenever I did wear a wig, I felt more uncomfortable than when I wore my head bald. In 1999, I was featured in an article by The Washington Post .http://wapo.st/qIdP4C I have never been upset about the hair lose, but always felt it made me uniquely me. After this article, I came to realize that there were/are so many who suffers in silence. I do feel that I have a responsibility to share with others in helping them embrace the baldness, whether or not they decide to wear or wig.

I use my difference by walking tall and going absolutely everywhere 'bald'. I can honestly say that now (being bald totally for past 3 years) I am unaware most of the time and never get comments or strange looks from adults. People really don't give a 'monkeys' and have their own personal problems right now. I also feel much more confident with 'no hair' rather than bald patches- and yet at the time I hung on to every last hair nearly- funny how we adapt and change. Timd is certainly a great emotional healer!

If you are live in North Carolina or in the surrounding areas, come on out and help me celebrate Alopecia Awareness Month at the NC Pubic Libraries.

There will be light refreshments, free door prizes, information and inspiration. Don't miss out. Space is limited so register to secure your seat today. Project Liberation Movement

this summer I created an awareness event in my city(Edmonton) with much success. With the local baseball team here, I had a great night bringing other alopecians out to join in and meeting eachother. Also to bring a little awareness of what alopecia is. My next goal is to do some school presentations with the help of my best friend who is a teacher.

I use my difference and experience to try to help anyone going through a hard time, whether they are just losing their hair or have had it gone for years. I think I inspired one girl to write a book about her struggle and through that reach even more people struggling with hair loss and the ramifications thereof

Using my "difference" as an alopecian to help children with alopecia. Given they have their entire lives ahead of them with dealing with this, I advocate helping them in every way. To develop self-esteem and coping skills in a world seemingly hell-bent on emphasizing outward appearance as the ruler by which we are judged. I have organized an event whose proceeds will benefit Children's Alopecia Project who represent exactly what I support, the children. If you'd like to take a trip out for an excellent night of music and support CAP here's the info:

Maybe Jayne, but I was thinking about the welfare of the individual. Not so much 'Use Your Diffference', but 'Used by Channel 4'.
