Welcome Back Readers
I was watching Home And Family as I usually do and came across this inspiring interview with Jesse London As a child, Jessie was diagnosed with alopecia. For those of you that are unfamiliar, this is a auto immune disease that makes your hair fall out. Now there are three types of alopecia, but the type we are talking about here is alopecia Areata, which involves all of the hair on the body. It is important to note this condition is not contagious and can happen to anyone; it is not a discriminate of age, race or ethnicity.
You can just imagine the Jesse’s reaction, right? Not. Immediately, he wants to have in the assembly raising awareness about condition; he even has been asked to speak at other schools. Jesse has even gone as far as writing a comic book on the condition in the hopes of making it seem less scary and more acceptable.
“Everyone who is different in any kind of way, they shouldn’t hide their difference, and they should embrace their difference, and they shouldn’t feel ashamed of it.”
This young boy reminds me of verse in I Timothy that says,” “ Don’t let anyone look down on you) because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
