Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model and Professional Dancer, Christie Valdiserri, was always the bombshell blonde who "looked" the part. But one day, Christie noticed a small patch of hair missing from the back of her head. Over the following weeks, Christie soon became fully bald and was diagnosed with Alopecia at the age of 22. At first she was devastated, embarrassed, and covered up her disease underneath a wig. On this episode, Christie takes us through her entire journey of how she went from blonde, to bald, to BOLD, learning to embrace her new appearance and redefine what it means to be beautiful. Her story is incredibly inspiring, get the tissues ready! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
