Alyscia Cunningham is an entrepreneur, author, filmmaker and photographer who has contributed to the Smithsonian, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and AOL. After the success of her first book, “Feminine Transitions”, a photography book encompassed with portraits of raw feminine beauty, Cunningham published her second photography book and upcoming documentary film, “I Am More Than My Hair”. The book features 138 portraits of 46 females and the stories of their experience with hair loss as well as females who cut their hair in solidarity of a loved one. The film includes interviews and dives into the connection of their emotions in relation to the media’s portrayal of beauty standards.

Alyscia creates these, and future projects, with the consideration of art for social impact. Alyscia owns a home improvement company and leads the Washington DC Metro Chapter of Moms-In-Film. She is also one of the FrontLine Voices for Stop the Beauty Madness.
