S4E13 Alopecia, Leukemia & Lymphoma, and Team Another Chance with Summer Yang

Welcome to this episode of Alopecia Life. Today's guest is Summer Yang. When Summer developed alopecia in kindergarten, she also met one of her best friends. Years later, when they were both experiencing hair loss - one from alopecia, and the other from leukemia - their friendship became even stronger from their shared experiences. Summer is here today to share about her alopecia, along with the Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Her campaign ends on Friday, March 10th.Summer is a sophomore in high school who finds a passion in learning multiple languages. She enjoys reading, traveling, listening to music and shopping for the perfect jacket. After school, she volunteers with the Asian Hall of Fame, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and AAPA (Asian American Professional Association), while preparing for her fundraising campaign for Student Visionaries of the Year with LLS (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society). In her free time, she creates YouTube videos on her Channel, Worship Asian Drama, focused on various Chinese and Korean drama suggestion lists and Chinese phrase tutorials.She hopes to share her story to inspire other girls to love themselves for who they are. She wishes to spread confidence and support within the community and create a safe environment to talk about alopecia.Thank you for sharing your time with Summer and me today.
