When Raeshetta Thompson discovered her first sign of hair loss at age 12, she couldn't have known it would become the foundation for her life's purpose. After hiding her alopecia for nearly 30 years while building a successful career as a hairstylist, Raeshetta finally embraced her natural self and discovered a world of women who needed exactly what she could offer.

This conversation takes us through her emotional journey from feeling "cursed" to recognizing her experience as a blessing that allows her to serve others with profound empathy. Rayshetta shares the vulnerable moments that defined her path: hiding under wigs even while sleeping, refusing to let her romantic partner see her without hair, and finally cutting it all off in a moment of spiritual clarity that changed everything. Her story illustrates how self-acceptance becomes a powerful force not just for personal healing, but for creating ripple effects throughout a community.

The Hair Rich Club, Raeshetta's mobile salon, offers more than just quality hair services; it provides dignity, privacy, and understanding for women experiencing hair loss. She explains that having alopecia while working as a hairstylist gave her a unique perspective on beauty that transcends conventional standards. Through her business, she's creating safe spaces where women can feel seen and supported rather than judged or pitied.

Perhaps most fascinating is Raeshetta's holistic approach to hair health. As a certified trichologist, she shares how changing her diet helped regrow hair in places that had been bald for decades. This conversation reminds us that true beauty isn't about perfection but authenticity, and sometimes our greatest challenges become our greatest gifts when we have the courage to embrace them fully.
