Teens deserve a space for them.

Gessie Perez is passionate about working with kids, and is a proud BFRB advocate. She has had trichotillomania since the age of 11 and has made it her life's mission to give back to the BFRB community.

Gessie works professionally as a caregiver for children with developmental disabilities. In 2019, she started her “Trichster Sisters” program, in which she sends care packages to young girls with trichotillomania and acts as a mentor to them. She is the author of a memoir, Triumphant Trichster, and a kids book, A Trichy Situation. As a longtime member of the Keen family, Gessie is so thrilled to have a role working as a peer coach on the HabitAware team.
