(April 3, 2022) Help us welcome author and filmmaker Alyscia Cunningham for an author talk and book discussion of “I Am More Than My Hair,” a photography book that includes stories of women who have experienced hair loss due to a health condition and their journey of self-empowerment. The book follows her previous publication, Feminine Transitions, a photography hard cover that highlights portraits of raw feminine beauty. Alyscia explores the vision of celebrating beauty beyond typical media and societal pressures.
Admission: Free. Please register here.
Metered parking is usually available on Charles Street on Saturdays. There are also several parking garages in the neighborhood.
Why: “From the time we are young, girls are pressured into a set belief of beauty standards. Hair is certainly high on the list and is often labeled as our “crown and glory.” Where does this notion fit for females with alopecia (the partial or complete absence of hair from areas of the body where it normally grows)?”
“Every woman, young and old, need to know that they are naturally beautiful.”
-Alyscia Cunningham
