OLIVIA RUSK starring in 'I Could Be Great!' - Alopecia Awareness

OLIVIA stars in this story of a teenage girl with Alopecia overcoming the difficulties of being different. (accompanied by "I Could Be Great" by musical artist, Sally Anthony) Olivia Rusk produced and starred in this music video to create awareness for Alopecia and bullying. This video was produced with full authorization from Sally Anthony and her production company, Gracie Productions. The project was a year in the making and was produced and filming in Fishers, Indiana. So many people donated their time, energy, efforts and creativity to share Olivia's message that it is OK to be different. Though never teased and bullied herself Olivia is aware that others with Alopecia have experienced similar situations. We would like to thank everyone who made this project a success. If you like the video please help us by sending a link to your friends, post it on your myspace or
facebook, etc....

Justine Magazine created a 'prop' magazine cover for us to use during the filming of 'I Could Be Great!' and they liked the story of the production of the video, so they featured an article and printed the prop cover in the magazine.

at the end of the video. We had so much fun

producing 'I COULD BE GREAT!'

Hello Olivia!! Great Video!! Mrhollick sent me over to your channel!! When I was growing up I knew a young lady who also had this as well. I have been growing my hair for a long time so that I can get it cut and donate to the locks of love foundation. I know they support cancer but I beleive I read somewhere that they also support alopecia as well. Its nice meeting you and I am glad to have watched your video its great!! I am going to send it out to all my friends!! Angie♥

if you stop using the cremes, it'll just fall right back out. i've tried a handful of them and once i stopped using them, the hair fell out again.
