BONUS EPISODE: A Conversation About Alopecia and Living Life Without Hair (Remix) feat. Michelle Gipson

After the “slap” heard round the world in defense of a woman with Alopecia, y'all KNOW we were going to have to run this episode back! This Bonus Episode of The Sugar Free Podcast, Real Bald and Boujee Part I (Remix) feat. Michelle Gipson, is an exploration of life with alopecia. Join Syd and Michelle as they share their individual and collective journeys navigating life as women without hair.       Michelle Gipson is a writer, host and counselor by trade as well as the founder and publisher of Written Magazine and Wine With Words®.   You can learn more about Michelle and Written Magazine at www.writtenmag.com     Bald fade, bald and bougie, bald and beautiful, no hair don’t care…etc. Rocking bald or low cuts for women has become widely accepted and incredibly popular. But the vast majority of bald, beautiful, empowered women we see made the CONSCIENCE CHOICE to be bald… and what a beautifully, freeing choice.   However, because it was their choice, tomorrow they could choose differently and be halfway to a teeny weeny fro and within a year a full head of beautifully cascading hair. But what about those women who don’t have a choice? What if you woke up one morning to find handfuls of your hair lying on your pillow? This is the reality for scores of people and women who live everyday with alopecia.     INFORMATION ABOUT ALOPECIA Alopecia is an auto-immune disorder that leaves those afflicted with little, and in some cases, no hair. The disease effects 6.8 million people in the U.S., including show host Syd Mack, and there is no cure. September is Alopecia Awareness month, a month dedicated to spreading knowledge and awareness about alopecia.   If you want to find out more about alopecia, visit the National alopecia Areata Foundation at https://www.naaf.org/ for information, tips and resources on how you can be an ally to those in the Alopecia community.     Want to connect with The Sugar Free Podcast?
