Today's guests, Lydia Hibbert and Kery Montgomery collaborated to come up with something pretty phenomenal. Lydia is an artist and animator who specializes in learning and teaching in the creative arts, and the founder of Young Animators Club. Kerry is the Psychological Wellbeing Lead at Alopecia UK. Together, they created an award-winning animation and the Alopecia UK Schools Pack alongside parents and young people to raise awareness of the psychological impact of alopecia. I hope you're just as excited as I am to welcome both Lydia and Kerry to the podcast. 

To check out the animation, please see the link in the show notes, along with one for Young Animator's Club and Alopecia UK. Before the interview with Lydia and Kerry, I was excited about the work they were doing. After the interview, I could clearly hear how much effort it takes to make something great, and the energy that Kerry gives to continue to not only increase awareness, but to also make the psychological impact of alopecia more manageable and hopefully effortless when in school. It's something we can all appreciate.
