In this empowering episode Aisha is joined by Swirl who is an advocate/model; a term she coined to describe the new generation of models who use their public image to challenge stereotypes and campaign for a particular cause. As an activist based in London, Swirl raises awareness for mental health and bald women. Her lack of hair derives from trichotillomania, a body-focused repetitive behaviour (BFRB) that is only now being recognised in society. Swirl remains a person of reference for people with hair loss and challenges conventional views of female beauty.
