After the shocking incident at the Oscars, Jada Pinkett Smith opens up the red table to talk about alopecia areata and why it is not a punchline. In this recent episode of Red Table Talk, Jada connected with thousands of individuals with alopecia to bring together stories and share the true impact of hair loss.

Nothing hit the community closer to home than hearing of the passing of twelve-year-old Rio Allred on March 14th. Jada talks with her Rio’s mother about the young girl who committed suicide because she faced bullying for having alopecia.
