HOW TO NOT LET A BULLY WIN BY LOVING YOUR NATURAL SELF
Hey U.G.L.Y.,’s impactful interactive self-esteem & empathy-building bullying/suicide/racism prevention school assembly featuring the inspiring, Sanah Jivani, who lost her hair at age 12 due to Alopecia

 

Sanah Jivani lost all of her hair when she was in middle school due to Alopecia. She was bullied beyond belief with one bully putting a note in her locker that read, ’50 ways to kill yourself’.  Sanah was featured on Good Morning American and in the documentary, LOOK TO THE SKY, a film that shares the inspiring true stories of young people who have demonstrated the spirit of Superman which explores the power of hope and the importance of positive ideals while encouraging viewers to find the super hero within themselves. She was named one of the ‘Most Inspiring College Women’ by HER CAMPUS’ 22 UNDER 22  and voted one of the top 12 social media warriors in 2016 by MTV News.
