Simon Rubenstein on Navigating Alopecia, Making Change for NAAF & Creating Confidence

Happy Alopecia Awareness month! In this episode, Lindsey interviews Simon Rubenstein. He’s the youngest board member on the National Alopecia Areata Foundation Board of Directors. He's also a film director, a producer, a writer, a photographer, a multicam operator, a community organizer and a business entrepreneur. They discuss the importance of empowering others in the community through choice, be that treatment access, wigs or rocking what you’ve got. Simon also shares about his experience navigating purchasing and wearing a wig as a guy and curating confidence through activity and community as opposed to looks that can’t be controlled. He really puts the highs and lows of hair loss life in perspective, both personally and as a front-facing NAAF board member and role model for the alopecia community. Plus, he shares his thoughts on recently FDA-approved treatments.
