Whatever sparks your interest, there’s power in turning that personal passion into public purpose. This isn’t about having credentials — it’s about showing up, speaking up, and knowing where your voice fits. Health advocacy isn’t reserved for experts; it’s for anyone who’s ever said, “This should be better.” And it can start right where you are.

"True" Natural Blonde beauties!

If someone were to ask you to describe a natural blonde, an individual's first response would generally be Caucasian, pale skin and blue eyes. While for the most part that may be true, it is also false. Believe it or not there are  beautiful naturally born darker brown skin people that are born with blonde hair. Solomon Island is a "collection of nearly 1,000 islands in Oceania that form a sovereign country. They lie to the east of Papua  New Guinea and cover a land area of 28,400 square kilometers (wikipedia)." Many of the people who live on these islands are beautiful natural blondes with brown skin. In fact, if they were in the United States and many other countries, many people would mistake them for being black or African American. Over 90% of Solomon Islanders are Melanesian, 3% Polynesian / Micronesian and 1% are other groups. Scientists have stated that the dark skin and blonde hair is a unique gene that Solomon Islanders have that is not the product of mixing with Europeans. The gene, known as TYRP, is something that is not found in European blondes. "So the human characteristic of blond hair arose independently in equatorial  Oceania. That's quite unexpected and fascinating (Elmear Kenny, postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in California)." This study has changed  and challenged the way many are viewing the world, genetics and our general biases towards human race and ethnicity.
