About the Podcast:

Alopecia’s Audacity is a podcast that focuses on the topic of Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disease characterized by the loss of hair on the scalp and other parts of the body. The podcast is hosted by the Canadian Alopecia Areata Foundation (CANAAF), a registered charity that aims to raise awareness and provide support to individuals who are affected by alopecia by sharing stories, experiences, and information from experts in the field. With its bold and daring approach, the podcast encourages listeners to embrace their unique journey with alopecia and to be proud of who they are. Join co-hosts and alopecia advocates, Christal Malcolm, Lauryn Harrison, and Sara Teskey as they delve into the complexities of living with hair loss and explore what it means to defy the audacity of alopecia.
