Episode 28- Samuel Picou, Using his "Voice" for Positive Change

"Yeah, we can't forget about the power we have to choose.  We have a power and a choice to choose everyday, and we can make a good decision, we can make a bad decision.  It's hard at first, but when you start making those right choices, stick your chin up... push through the obstacle.  You're going to get the right results, and you'll be happy..."

On this episode of Alopecia Connection, meet author, singer and songwriter Samuel Picou.  Samuel developed alopecia at the age of 2, and eventually gained national notoriety as a 15-year-old contestant on the NBC's The Voice, Season 5.  Samuel advanced all the way to the live audition in front of the celebrity judges.  Although he wasn't selected by the judges, this experience led to additional opportunities for Samuel, including being a keynote speaker at the annual National Alopecia Areata Foundation conference. 

More recently Samuel has dedicated his energies to pastoral work in the Los Angeles area, becoming a beacon of inspiration and positivity.  Between mission trips, Samuel has also released his book "Beyond the Cover," which further details his journey of personal growth.
