Lindsey Sullivan

Lindsey sits down with Lily Hakim to talk about her early alopecia diagnosis, the restricted diet she grew up with as a result and even being mistaken as a boy by a teacher growing up. Lily is now the Director of Executive Operations at Pfizer. She shares about struggling with autonomy as a young alopecia patient who could not make an informed decision about her healthcare (with an already limited field of treatment options) and why it means so much to play a role in getting others the care they need today. Plus, the turning point where she decided to take charge of her own identity.
