Stitts-Winfield states, "The life significance of losing my hair at age 12 from alopecia areata has made me a very strong, determined person." She has been a motivational speaker at the National Alopecia Areata Foundation's Teens Conference Camp and has been a spokesperson for the Children's Alopecia Project.
Join us in this podcast as we talk about Staciana's journey of becoming an Olympic gold medalist swimmer and being inducted into the UC Berkeley Athletic Hall Of Fame.
