About Me:
Hi everyone! I had such a wonderful experience meeting many of you at the NAAF Conference in Houston, TX last year!

My name is Kayla and I am Miss Delaware 2010! I have had AA for eleven years now and have tried to turn it into a positive thing by promoting Alopecia as my platform. I will represent the National Alopecia Areata Foundation at the 2011 Miss America Pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada!!!
I speak at schools about self esteem and try to raise awareness about Alopecia in our wonderful state.

I had never worn a wig until this year- OnRite offered to sponsor a wig for me to compete in Miss Delaware. I had so much fun trying on wigs, and finding the perfect one for me! I now model for OnRite and have had nothing but positive experiences with their wigs. I also have Hashimotos Thyroid Disorder which probably played a part in my Alopecia.

I am lucky enough to have amazing and supportive friends and family and a very caring boyfriend.

I'd like to meet new people with Alopecia, especially those in my area! Feel free to contact me :)

I enjoy speaking at conferences, classrooms, events, school assemblies, and support groups about Alopecia, self esteem, drug prevention, overcoming adversity and positive self image. Please contact me if you ever need a visiting speaker!

“Love yourself — accept yourself — forgive yourself — and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.”

I really love this quote and think everyone should follow this mantra!

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday full of love and laughter!

Committee needed for event in Delaware!

Posted on September 23, 2008 at 1:30pm 4 Comments

Hi everyone!



After attending the NAAF conference I was completely energized and excited to host an event for AA in Delaware... Finally!! I am thinking of holding a 5k run/walk at the Community Service Center that I now work for in Clayton, DE. It is absolutely beautiful with a river, and trees surrounding the walking trail.



I am wondering if there is anyone in the tri-state area or within reasonable distance that would be interested in being on the committee of this event.… Continue

Hallo Kayla,
I read about you and saw your videos. I think , it is very good, you are speaking about alopecia. Maybe, it will help to invest more money for scientific research of this problems.
We live in high-developies countries.
The doctors can make so difficult operations now , they help people , who has large problems with heart , they help people , who has cancer.
But doctors can NOT help a lot of pacients , who has no hair!
I think, the scientiests must investigate more this disaster, and it will be possible to help more people who has alopecia.

Great job Kayla! We all watched the pageant and were so proud of you. ( My daughters thought you were the prettiest one there). You were great and are a great role model for alopecia. It was so great for alopecia awareness. Thank you.

I Googled the video once I learned you went on stage without wig at the crowning. Good for you! I had hoped to hear your speech...can you put it online for us here at AW? I know it would inspire many.

Kayla that was amazing! I’ve never watched a Miss America pageant all the way through before. It’s kind of exciting when you’re rooting for someone, and you did outstanding. Thanks for representing us Alopecia’s. I can’t believe you have the guts at such a young age to get up and do that. I was nervous and I was sitting on my couch eating Doritos.
