Shelbi was voted “Best Hair” in high school. When she went go-karting, all of her hair plus 80% of her scalp was ripped off. She’s suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, several reconstructive surgeries, deals with debilitating migraines, and is in her early twenties and bald. She had to rework her identity.
