She’s an amazing role model for anyone facing challenges with self-esteem. So proud of you, Steph!"

"Dr. Anderson was a keynote speaker for a webinar that discussed Women Veterans and hair loss for the Texas Veterans Commission Women Veterans Program. Not only was this webinar one of the most well attended virtual events for our program in 2023, a record-breaking number of Women Veterans from several other state attended the virtual event as well. 

Dr. Anderson was compassionate and spoke with knowledge and wisdom regarding the topic of Women Veterans and hair loss. After the event she assisted several Woman Veterans with obtaining their hair prosthesis VA benefit and provided valuable insight on the process as well.

During the webinar several Women Veterans were moved to tears; they later told me that they felt like they finally had hope and that someone cared.

Dr. Anderson is an accomplished speaker, writer and author who knows how to educate, equip, and empower those who have the privilege of listening to her. She is a profound and gifted communicator who knows how to connect with her audience.
