Give Me Strength with Alice Liveing
Health & Fitness:Fitness
Laura Mathias is a speaker, presenter, model, and visible difference campaigner listed in the Female Lead’s ‘role models to follow.’ Since ‘coming out’ about her alopecia in 2020 - after two decades of hiding her hair loss - Laura has secured media opportunities to raise awareness of the impact of living with a visible difference on This Morning (ITV), Life Hacks (BBC Radio 1), My body, my rules (Channel 4) and The One Show (BBC 1) in addition, to being a regular guest and ‘takeover’ host, for regional media outlets (BBC Look East, BBC Radio Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk).
In this episode, Laura discusses her own journey with developing Alopecia at 13 years old and how she has come to terms with it over the years despite the lack of representation for those living with alopecia. Together, Laura and Alice discuss visible differences and the work that Laura has done over the years to campaign for representation and visibility for those with a visible difference.
To find out more about Laura, the work she does and the charities she mentioned (Changing Faces, Alopecia UK, Face Equality), you can follow her on Instagram @RelightAlopecia.
