I’ve been writing essays about my alopecia since high school. They started off as a way for me to feel and heal. I am so honored to share the most vulnerable piece I’ve ever published in @thecut chronicling my complicated feelings about making the decision to pursue treatment for my hair loss last year. I so hope it helps others experiencing alopecia feel and heal and lends insight to those considering these brand new FDA-approved treatments. Working on this piece was so healing for me, and this opportunity has been a dream come true for me as a writer, New Yorker and woman dealing with hair loss. Thank you to all who have been kind enough to reach out already with sweet words and support. Head to the link in bio to read it in full. 📝✨ . . I want to thank @emilyleibert for cheering me on at a time when I felt so far away from my writing practice. Thank you for generously bringing this opportunity my way, answering all of my questions with kindness and for dancing late into the night to Mamma Mia with me during my birthday weekend. . . Thank you to Jen Ortiz for the opportunity and for creating such a safe space for me to fine tune this piece. The only work truly worth making is that which can be created within a safe space. Thank you for gifting me that alongside your insightful edits. . . Thank you @naneframe for the way you see the world, capture it and share it. I’ll never not be honored to be one of your photo subjects—but I’ll take being your best friend over that any day. That said, seeing my byline next to your photo credit for the first time in years makes me truly teary and might be my favorite part of all this. Here’s to doing what we said we’d do. . . And to @jm.rodrigueznyc — thank you for being my cheerleader every day as I lost my hair and for encouraging me to return to my writing roots. This would have never happened without you. . . It’s all for the fairy princess ✨

Having alopecia areata as a woman for 30 years has certainly brought me tears and tough days, but I’d never trade the experience for the incredible people it’s put in my path ♥️ Thanks so much again, @ac_latimer ✨🎧 Enjoy our conversation on @applepodcasts , @googleplay and @spotify . . #alopecianbeauty #alopecia #alopeciaareata #naaf #naaf40conf #sisterhood👭 #community

Dude, we “Broadway baby”—d so hard in April

This month may have contained hope 🎺♥️

Let’s light this sucker and meet the old broads. 🕯️ A lovely few days chasing Hocus Pocus film locations etc with some of my oldest and dearest ♥️

Your Broadway debut can come at you fast ✨📚 @brilliantbway is a night you’ll never forget from wherever you’re sitting. What an honor it was to take the stage tonight with Daniel Radcliffe, one of the greatest actors we have and simply one of the kindest there is. Deeply grateful.

Storytelling has given me solace and ultimately inspiration, passion and confidence throughout my life. I have loved listening to @mothstories since high school. Tonight, I got to take the stage for the first time at a story slam. The theme was “Recess.” . . As a little bald girl, recess was never my jam. Whether it was the wind or a shitty kid ripping my hat away, many of my most painful memories took place during recess. Recess wasn’t something to be enjoyed but dealt with. That is until Emma Jane’s rec to let my ‘do do its thing changed the course of my entire life. I revisited all of that tonight. I have Emma Jane von Euler to thank for how I walk through the world, and in a weird way, I also know I have my alopecia to thank for that too. As I was muttering my way through my story across town on the walk over to Rodney’s, I turned on Fifth Avenue and saw butterflies in a display 🦋 Me and my people who went through that tough time have always thought of Emma Jane as a butterfly. I certainly felt her with me tonight at The Moth. . . Shout out to anyone struggling to feel excited about recess, whatever that means for them. Shout out to Johnny Oliver (!) who ultimately won tonight’s slam. I opened the show, and he gorgeously closed it. With his dynamite British accent, he also shared about getting bullied at recess for his footie team loyalty, which is a pillar of his relationship with his father. The real prize for me was the hug I received in the ladies room from an Italian grandmother named Francesca. That, and getting to call this life mine, where most days feel like recess.

One of us is getting married, and it’s 100% me and @rippleintime17 ✨💍 Tell everyone! 😗 What a love-filled afternoon celebrating @caitlin.moynihan and @law_ittel ♥️
