I have a goal to raise $1,111+ for the Walk for Alopecia.

And I need your help. 💜

I’ve been living with alopecia since 2014, and finding thIs alopecia community in 2023 changed my experience of life.

I found people who understood.
I made new friends.
My family found community too.
I’ve had opportunities to share my story, speak, laugh, dance, connect, and give back.

Now I want to keep giving back.

I am walking for the version of me who lived with alopecia for 9 years before she found community.

Will you help me raise $1,111+?

Donate $11. $25. $50. $111. Whatever feels good to you. Every donation gets us closer to our goal.

And as a thank you, if you donate $25+, I’ll gift you a ticket to Finding Feathers Breathwork: Body Love on September 29. ❤️

We are Team Finding Feathers.

The flock flies together. 🪶

💜 Donate by following the link in the comments or message me and I'll personally send you the link.

It’s Alopecia Awareness Month and I’m here to remind you that you don’t need hair to be.

To be strong.
To be stronger than before.
To be part of a community.
To be powerful.
To be the person who shows the others it’s ok to look different.
To be anything you want.

Happy Alopecia Awareness Month! 🥚👨🏽‍🦲👩🏼‍🦲

If you don’t know what alopecia is, essentially it’s an autoimmune condition that can cause partial or total hair loss due to the body attacking hair follicles. This can show up as a tiny patch of hair that’s missing, which can sometimes be easy to hide, or it can show up like ME—with no hair anywhere at all on my body which is called alopecia universalis. So I’m a fully-fledged EGGVENGER🥚🦸🏽

There are other forms of alopecia, too! To give you a small, easy-to-understand guide:

Alopecia Areata: Small round patches of hair that come off anywhere on the body

Androgenetic Alopecia: AKA male-pattern or female-pattern baldness, which can show up as a receding hairline in men or gradual widening of the hair part and thinning across the top of the head in women

Telogen Effluvium: A temporary shedding usually due to the onset of stress, illness, or hormonal shifts

Traction Alopecia: Hair loss caused by lots of tight hair pulling or tight hairstyles (like braids)

Scarring (Cicatricial) Alopecia: Rare, inflammatory conditions that destroy hair follicles and replace them with scar tissue. Hair loss happens, accompanied by redness, itching, scaling, or burning of the scalp.

Someone you know may have alopecia, and you may have no idea! It’s more common that you might think. Approximately 80 MILLION people in the USA ALONE are impacted by alopecia in some form!

Regardless, my main message always is that hair does not define your worth! What alopecia has helped me and many others to do is shift our focus inward and realize that true beauty and worth comes from within, and that’s an important lesson for anyone to learn! Know you’re beautiful as you are, your uniqueness is something to be celebrated, and though they can take away your hair, they can NEVER take away WHO YOU ARE! 🤟❤️
