About this episode

Armani Latimer is a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and breakout star of Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts, who is redefining beauty and speaking out about her alopecia journey. In this episode, she shares the raw story of the day her wig came off, along with the last of her hair, and how that moment changed everything. From secretly covering bald spots to performing wig-free on national TV, Armani opens up about finding the confidence to stop hiding and let the world see her as she is. She and Victoria talk about the pressure female athletes face to be perfect, the reality of hair loss in women, and how to build self-confidence when insecurities run deep. Tune in to witness the power of vulnerability, the impact of representation, and why Armani’s story matters to every woman who’s ever questioned her worth.
