Kayla is definitely a ray of light for those of us with Alopecia. We are so proud of her, so inspired and thankful for her courage. Those of us with Alopecia live with constant societal messages that we're not "normal". I am especially happy for all the young girls with Alopecia, who thanks to Kayla, will hopefully encounter greater awareness of and empathy for their experiences as Alopecians. Most importantly, they can look at Kayla and identify bald as just one more image of "beautiful".
