Hi! I work in a school with teenagers. Since coming to terms with my areata (spreading daily) I shave my head and go to work somedays in a work, other days in various head scarves. Once over the initial - have you got cancer? - the students are wonderfully honest about which scarves they prefer and how my wig is doing. I am quite open to showing them my head when they ask and they are fabulous about it! We have some students with alopecia and they've told me it's helped them. Nice to know it can have benefits!

I am in process of writing a book titled: Boldly Bald Women The purpose of this book is to explore the option of women facing alopecia without wigs or hair coverings. It will be a tapestry of acceptance and encouragement woven from the stories of women who are daring to step out and live boldly bald. It will be published by Nightengale. I am still receiving responses from women who would like to share their stories with those facing baldness who have felt alone and who believed there was no other choice besides wigs and coverings. If there are any women among you who would like to participate in this project, please let me know. I also have a blog at boldlybaldwomen.blogspot.com if you are interested.

I'm here and ready to interact with awakening the minds of our fellow human beings, who lack the knowledge , understanding...empathy and compassion for people with Alopecia.I have ample confidence to stand side by side and help the world accept...and dissrobe all the negative perceptions about our facade...cause it's so hard for them to see the "man...inside the man"
the "woman...inside the woman"

Hi everyong,

I recently posted a blog:
"Coming Out Bald at the Synagogue - What the Bible Says about Baldness"
that I think is relevant to this discussion. So, I thought I'd mention it here in case you didn't see it.

hi Joyce! I saw that show, and you looked fabulous!!! Awesome tattoo, and you did such an amazing job explaining alopecia! I was (and am) so proud of you! What an inspiration you are as you "use your difference"! ;-)

I like to think that I have used my difference to make a difference and intend to keep on doin' it. I have been AU for several years now, however, I have had bouts of Alopecia since I was a child. In 2006 I got this idea to get a tattoo on my head - but not just any tatto - I was going to get on on TV. Somehow I convinced Miami Ink casting that it was a good idea and I have never looked back. You can see my video on youtube by typing in the search box "joyce on miami ink". It may be listed somewhere here on the site. When I figure out how to do it I will post a link. I have to figure out how to post my profile pic first! Miami Ink was wicked fun and I have heard from people all over the world. I called the local papers before my show aired and got front page coverage. I will continue my (exhibitionist) efforts to raise awareness. Stay tuned!
