It would be untrue and frankly harmful not to point out that there are numerous factors at play with the situation that happened between Chris Rock and Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars. In this bonus episode, host Lindsey Sullivan is joined by previous VNA guests Supriya Surender and Suhani Parikh to take a deep dive into the alopecia side of the story. They continue to bring the conversation back to Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia journey and explore the power of platforms, why alopecia and most appearance jokes make for lazy comedy at best and even broaching Sunday's sitch with the men in their life. Whether you Googled "alopecia" for the very first time on Oscar night, are supporting a loved one with the condition or are a member of the alopecia community yourself, they hope to play a part in paving the path forward.
