This week Michelle speaks with Jessica Newman, she is a model represented by Zebedee Talent a revolutionary model agency representing people with disabilities and visible differences. At 14 years old Jessica was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss in some or all parts of the body. Jessica has dealt with lots of self-confidence knocks and emotions since her diagnosis but during the lockdown, she decided to share her story on Instagram. Jessica's brilliant and inspirational social media account has brought lots of amazing opportunities such as features on Channel 4's Steph's Packed Lunch, a modeling contract, and raising money and awareness for Alopecia UK. Jessica lives next to a farm in Mersea, Essex with her mum and stepdad and has a beautiful cat called Scrappy.
