The congresswoman revealed her bald head in public for the first time.
It is no secret that congresswoman Ayanna Pressley is a history-maker and disrupter since becoming Massachusetts’ first black woman elected to the House of Representatives in 2018. With 2020 just underway, Pressley has already begun making waves after opening up about her struggles with hair loss and even debuting her newly bald head.
She shared that she faced every morning with “dread,” saying, “because I did not want the morning to come where I would remove this bonnet and my wrap, and be met with more hair in the sink, and an image in the mirror, the mirror of a person who increasingly felt like a stranger to me,” she continued.
The congresswoman known for her braids and bold red lipstick finally took off her wig to reveal her bald head, a moment she hoped would free her from feelings of shame and secrecy. .@AyannaPressley was already an incredible inspiration and among the most brilliant, fierce and dynamic members of really the most impressive freshman congressional class since 1992. But this? Beautiful beyond words. Kudos to the Rep and @TheRoot https://t.co/KWnXx12TVx
