Beyond First Impressions: Alopecia Areata, Social Media, and the Power of Your Story

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 , 2026 4PM PDT/ 6PM CDT/ 7PM EDT

Join us for an inspiring conversation with alopecia advocate and marathon runner Lindsay Walter as she shares what it means to live with alopecia areata in a world that often makes assumptions based on appearance. After being mistaken for a man during a marathon, Lindsay discovered the power of using her experiences to educate others, challenge misconceptions, and raise awareness about alopecia areata.

Together, we’ll explore the impact of social media and public perception, the emotional toll of being misunderstood, and the journey toward confidence, resilience, and self-acceptance. Through Lindsay’s personal story, attendees will gain insight into navigating unwanted attention, responding to misconceptions, and finding strength in their own experiences.

Whether you’ve struggled with confidence, faced assumptions from others, or wondered how to share your alopecia journey, this webinar will offer encouragement, practical strategies, and a powerful reminder that you are so much more than what others see at first glance.
