On this special episode of "A Fresh Start Podcast," I have a very special guest who goes by the name Thebaldgawdez. She is an actress, a model, a mother and a warrior. Today she's talking about her life with lupus. On this episode, you will witness someone who truly became transparent. She confidently shared her journey0 and she is walking flawlessly in her truth.

In this episode these topics and more was addressed:
-The taboo subject of "hair" in the black community and how Thebaldgawdez lost her hair, but she embraced her new self. She's bald, she's bold and she's beautiful.
-Her diagnosis of lupus
-The side effects of lupus
-Insecurities
-Self-love
-Resilience
And much more

If YOU or someone you know is or has battled with Lupus and the side effects of Lupus then this episode is for you. In this episode you will laugh, you will be in awe of this young warrior's strength and you WILL be inspired.

I would like to dedicate this episode to my mom in her memory. She was also once diagnosed with lupus. She had lupus, congestive heart failure, COPD, and more, but she was also a fighter and a warrior. I would also like to dedicate this episode to Pastor Judy Traynham who is a powerful woman in ministry. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to dedicate this episode to The Baldgawdez and everyone who is fighting this fight. You are NOT your diagnosis.
