Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts (and Boston resident) publicly announced for the first time that she has alopecia – an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss. In a very powerful and exclusive video with The Root, Pressley bravely reveals her bald head and she looks amazing!
For having the courage to talk about her very personal struggle with this disease and show the world that she’s accepted her baldness, Ayanna is a true badass!
