We’re back! ☀️❤️

After soaking up the last few weeks of summer, Rosie is kicking off the new school year with a full-circle moment. From navigating difficult experiences in grade school to now leading a Teen Advisory Board of more than 25 incredible peers, she’s reflecting on just how far she’s come.

Watch this week’s Rosie-ism to hear her reflection! 🌹

"It's not ok to brag!" Life lessons with Rosie & Rickie 😂

Some people ask Rosie, "How are you so wise?"

The truth is, she had to grow up a little faster than most.

Losing her hair at just 3 years old meant learning how to face stares, questions, and fears long before Rosie understood why they were happening. Those experiences weren't easy, but they taught her resilience, confidence, and the importance of choosing how to respond to life's challenges.

This week's Rosie-isms is a reminder that our hardest moments can become our greatest teachers. ✨

Full-circle moments just hit different. 🥹✨

We recently stopped by Daytime Chicago TV to chat with Tonya Francisco and Amy Rutledge - and this one was extra special for us. Back in 2016, Amy was actually the very first media personality to ever feature our story!

Flash forward to today, looking back on the last 10 years of this journey, and we’re beyond grateful to the Daytime Chicago team for giving us a platform to share our mission and spread awareness.

Thank you for always believing in what we do!

Sometimes the greatest lesson in paying it forward isn’t giving - it’s learning to receive.

While at the National Alopecia Areata Fdn in Orlando, a stranger quietly paid for Rosie’s family’s dinner. Her first instinct? “I don’t have cancer, I just have alopecia! I’m totally healthy!” But after reflecting on the moment, she realized something powerful: accepting kindness with gratitude allows someone else to experience the joy of giving.

This week’s Rosie-ism is a reminder that generosity comes full circle.❣️Watch this week’s video to hear how one unexpected act of kindness gave Rosie a whole new perspective on paying it forward.
