We are fortunate at Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan to celebrate a new friendship with Tam Flake, an alopecia awareness advocate who toured our Wellness Center with her son Josh after meeting us at an event in the community. Tam utilizes her iRockitBald platform to encourage, motivate, and uplift individuals living with or loving someone with hair loss. Born & raised in Detroit, MI and diagnosed with alopecia at the age of 6, Tam understands the difference our program makes for the children of Michigan. As a nationally recognized motivational speaker, published author, and co-host of the EVRY Woman Talk Show on YouTube, Tam will be speaking at our upcoming Lucky 21st Annual Gala to inspire our kids & guests!
