There are more than 200 specialty tags available in Mississippi, and a Rankin County teenager is working to add one more.A life-changing assault has given Annamarie White a mission."When I was 15, I was molested," Annamarie said.It wasn't always easy for White to talk about what happened to her two years ago."I actually waited six months to tell my parents, and I went through so much pain and struggle," Annamarie said. "I realized I can't sit here and think that everything is going to be OK at the snap of a finger."When White finally did tell, she said a weight lifted off her shoulders. Her parents were shocked."It was awful. I was sad. I was mad. Every emotion I could be," mother Amy White said. "I watch the struggles she goes through somedays, just agonizing. She had to be pulled out of school to be homeschooled. She's seen so many therapists. It's hard."Annamarie has found strength in sharing her story – in therapy and online. And a routine drive with her mom gave her another idea to connect with victims."We were driving home from my grandma's house and I saw all these specialty tags and I said, 'Why don't they have anything for this subject that's not talked about?' And that's because it's not talked about," Annamarie said.So, she created her own. Annamarie and a family friend designed what would be the first license plate for sexual assault survivors in Mississippi."I want to support my daughter in her journey at any level," said father Kevin White."I thought it would be a wonderful healing process for her and a project to be proud of," Amy White said.This spring, Annamarie mailed information on her tag to all 82 Mississippi counties. She has to pre-sell 300 before the tags are produced."I'm just at the beginning of my journey," Annamarie said. "I hope I'll be able to be more vocal than I already am. Helping a lot more people is my main goal."The specialty tag fee is $33. The Center for Violence Prevention receives $24 from every sale. Tap here to apply for the tag.

A microchip helped identify a dog found in Mississippi that had been missing since 2014 from Florida.Kelly Weissinger found the little Maltese and posted photos in the group "Rankin County, MS Lost and Found Pets ONLY" on Facebook.

Brandon Tyler, from North Carolina, was in Arkansas visiting family when he saw a story on a website that helps people connect for transporting pets. Tyler said he lost his cat in 2016, and always hoped someone would bring his cat back, so now he's helping reunite pets with their owners.Tyler came to Mississippi and picked Sissi up from the vet Wednesday morning. He said he's excited to get her back to her owner.

A Mississippi cheerleader is raising awareness about an unpredictable autoimmune disorder.Alopecia may have taken Bella Daniels’ hair, but not her spirit. The 10-year-old has worked hard to be one of the top girls, the ones lifted into the air on her cheer team, Pink Army Reloaded."When I first started, I was at the bottom, and this really heavy girl was standing on my knee, so I hated it. I did not like it at all," Bella said.Cheering on two teams and balancing school is a lot for Bella, but this year brought a new challenge."At first, my brother noticed a spot on the top of my head, or something, and we thought nothing of it," Bella said. "We thought someone stepped on my hair at cheer, or something."But soon it was clear that Bella’s long, thick, beautiful hair was thinning fast."Then we went to the dermatologist and they diagnosed me," Bella said.The dermatologist diagnosed Bella with alopecia."What she has is not contagious. It’s an autoimmune disease that attacks the hair follicles. It thinks that it’s a virus," said Bella’s mother, Robyn Daniels. Robyn said alopecia isn’t exactly rare – 6.8 million people have some form – but it’s different for everyone. Bella’s doctor didn’t think she would lose all of her hair, but by January, she had."It was horrible. I hid it from her. I cried. As a mom, I wanted to fix it, and I knew there wasn’t anything I could do to fix it," Robyn Daniels said.Robyn worried Bella would be made fun of, ostracize, or just feel sad that she looked different."I'd be like, 'Baby, you know you’re going to lose the rest of your hair. Are you OK with that?' She’d be like, 'mmhm,'" Robyn Daniels said.Soon, Bella lost her eyebrows and eyelashes, too. And to Robyn Daniels' relief and amazement, Bella took it in stride."It wasn’t that bad, but sometimes in school I’d feel something on my back and it would be a handful of hair. Sometimes I got nervous, but not a lot," Bella said.Bella’s cheer coach, Jordan Hall, said she came to him privately after her diagnosis."Last year, Bella came to me and said, 'Coach Jordan, am I not going to be able to cheer if I lose my hair?' And so, for me, that was like we all stopped and remind these kids what cheering is all about, and what teamwork is all about," he said. "I'll tell you, I haven't seen Bella miss a beat. She hasn't let this thing get to her at all. Hair, no hair. She doesn't care.""She has never shed a tear. She has never asked why, and when you ask her, 'Are you ready for your hair to grow back?' She says, ‘It will be in God’s time,'" Robyn Daniels said.Bella said she doesn’t consider herself to be a role model. Her mother disagrees."That’s why we wanted to do this: to bring awareness to alopecia. Most people we meet ask, 'What kind of cancer does she have?'" Robyn Daniels said.Robyn Daniels said the teasing she worried about hasn’t happened. Bella’s friends, school and community have rallied around her. She gets starts, so many that her mother bought her an "Alopecia Awareness" shirt. Bella will try some new treatments this year that might help her regrow her hair, but either way, she’s OK."I really don’t care what happens because I’m still me," Bella said.Bella’s dermatologist appointments weren’t covered by insurance, so her gym family at Jam Athletics banded together and raised money for their bills and to buy a wig for Bella. She wore it for a while, but it was hot and uncomfortable and made her feel more self-conscious, so for now, she uses it for TikTok videos.Watch the video above for the full story.
