Unfiltered: Meet my Alopecia
My biggest insecurity!
Peeling back the layers to reveal the raw truth: living unfiltered and unapologetically real. Embracing every blemish, every imperfection, including my journey with alopecia (since birth). 🍋💛 This hasn’t been an easy road.
❌ Unable to braid my hair
❌ Unable to use just any hair care product
❌ Unable to style my hair any way without irritation
✅ Chronic tender and sore scalp
✅ Bullied and Teased as a child
⭐️ Accepting comfort in my 30s that this unique mark, though I’m still insecure (just being honest), makes me Me. I am beautiful too! 🥰
Letting vulnerability shine because true strength lies in owning our insecurities. Who else is on this journey of self-discovery?
