My goal is educate people about alopecia and try to break the Barbie-doll stereotype that children get slammed with daily in media campaigns. I want to show children that they are perfect just the way they are and beauty comes from within. I want to encourage children and adults with issues that make them feel different and show them--through my big, bald, shiny head--that who you are is the most important thing in the world, not what you look like.

The more children learn about being different, the more prejudice will be eliminated.

It was love at first site. I thought I should have a bald cat as well. So I got my first Sphinx from a breeder in New York, where I was living at that time. I knew that I could use this loveable, bald kitty to teach my daughter about differences in this world and help her see that bald could be beautiful.. Just in a different form.

Within one month, I was forced to wear a wig to conceal the bald area. I looked like a cancer patient losing hair from chemo. The huge difference is that I was not sick at all. I didn't have cancer.
