As a child, Sanah began to lose her hair and was diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis. She experienced severe bullying, and it is her journey to self love that inspired the Love Your Natural Self Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, to encourage self-love and empower people to celebrate who they are. With programming in over 135 schools, the foundation has reached over 50,000 students across the nation promoting positive internal dialogue, mental wellness, and self-care.
"In August of 2011, I developed the concept of The Love Your Natural Self Foundation. I wanted others to find the same freedom I found. I made an organization to change the lives of others, but every day more and more, it changes my life. I am grateful for the work I do and hope to create a world with more self-love and self-acceptance."" — Sanah Jivani
