The University of Belize Baldmiration Campaign was inspired by Kim Barrow’s decision to not disguise her bald head and show the true and honest effects of cancer. Led by Lecturer Dr. Sylvana Udz who thought up a non-verbal way to show solidarity and support for cancer sufferers and survivors, students at the University of Belize shaved their heads bald or dyed streaks of their hair in a brave and bold attempt to raise public awareness about the effects of cancer and importance of getting regular check-ups.

I am extremely moved by the courageous act of Belizean women in support of their First Lady of Belize and Complexd cover woman Kim Barrow. It shows how unified they are as women.  Lecturer Dr. Sylvana Udz speaks about The Baldmiration Campaign on Belizean television.
