Danielle Gilbert is a content creator in the beauty space that has built a substantial following of people who love her glam looks but above all, have an appreciation for Dani not being scared or ashamed to show who she is. Dani has Alopecia and as she should, fully embraces it and accepts it. Dani was diagnosed with Alopecia when she was just 6 years old and in this episode, she shares her story of how she has never allowed it to define who she is or let it be something that holds her back. We dive deep into every areas of Dani's life and how Alopecia has played a role within that. She is one of the most refreshing and positive people I’ve met in a really long time, she’s completely comfortable in her skin but more than that I believe that Dani has and continues to create a safe space online that welcomes people in and encourages them to feel empowered to be exactly who they are. If you are struggling with alopecia or can't begin to accept it, this is a great place to start. Dani offers a positive perspective not only on alopecia but a wider lens of how to challenge beauty standards too. What Dani is doing and I hope this episode does the same is super powerful in that it it gives perspective on how and why to be happy in ourselves.  Please please take note of what Dani says and use it to feel empowered and inspired to accept yourself exactly as you are.  What we cover  Living with alopecia  Dealing with social trolls Accepting yourself exactly as you are Feeling represented in beauty Data and science behind alopecia  Mental effects of Alopecia  Wigs & accessibility  Funding for Alopecia  Dani’s passion for beauty Skincare & acne  Challenging beauty standards Dani: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danigmakeup/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@danigmakeup1 Alopecia UK: https://www.alopecia.org.uk Here’s Dani’s version of beauty… Follow me on Instagram for me empowerment and self love tips A little reminder to the Scenes Of Beauty listeners that we still have 20% off of all Luna Daily products on their website with code SCENES20.
