Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) shares her struggles with a disease that took her hair. She vows to show the world, that beauty is skin deep and we commend her on her bravery. |
Not anymore. She shows her true beauty and braveness.
Alopecia is a disease that causes sudden hair loss. It starts with one or more circular bald patches that may overlap. Alopecia areata is not curable but treatable. The immune system attacks hair follicles and it could be brought on by stress.
It is known as spot baldness.

What we’re talking about today is not just an issue of housing, it is an issue of public health. An issue of economic equality.— Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (@RepPressley) January 29, 2020
When most homeless families in the US are black, the affordable housing crisis is foremost an issue of racial justice. pic.twitter.com/2LlugUaZiR

Pressley, a freshman lawmaker who is part of "the Squad" has been a vocal critic of Donald J. Trump.
She along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) supported the impeachment of Trump last year. She and the three women were subjects of Trump and far-white ire.
Trump said that they need to go back to wherever they came from in regards to Omar's criticism of America and Israel.
She hared her struggles to her constituents and the junk food media.
Pressley said that she struggled with this since she had her child. She vows to not let anyone take her voice or her beauty. |
She was elected to Boston City Council in 2019 and served on the council until she decided to run for the U.S. House of Representatives. She shook political ground when she defeated long term congressman Mike Capuano. The Democratic primary rang similar to Ocasio-Cortez's victory.
She said that Capuano, a moderate Democrat represented an area that is majority Black and doesn't have the representation in regards to rampant racism in Boston and police brutality. Pressley vowed to play nice to the status quo. She is the first African American woman elected to represent Massachusetts in Congress. Fellow Congresswoman, Jahana Hayes, former Teacher of the Year in 2015 represents Connecticut's 5th district. They are the first women of color to represent New England.
She has defended her colleagues and took a stand against systemic racism towards women of color.
While Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Tlaib endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in his presidential bid, Pressley endorsed Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for her presidential bid. Pressley supports Sanders' progressive policies.
