Today's storyteller is Kitty Dry, telling the story of entirely losing her hair, learning she has the autoimmune condition alopecia, and navigating her twenties as a bald woman. In our conversation we talk about being stared at on the tube, techniques for coping with anxiety, hiding and being seen, social media and self-worth, and finding support online and off.
