What a wonderful woman, and she keeps up the sense of humor, too! I see she's made up her own....

...."squad", the Alopecia Squad. Good for her bringing attention to this condition experienced by millions of women.

1. She has a beautiful face and nicely shaped head...

I admire her courage. I don't think I'd feel so comfortable.

4. a number of years ago

I opted to shave my head (and still keep it cut at about 1/2" )... it does take some time to get used to it but for me well worth it

the common reaction when I first shaved it was other women approaching me, thinking I had cancer, that was a bit awkward...

2. She has beautiful eyes.

What a lovely person.

[sheshe2]

3. MA is lucky to have her.

She has it all, Beauty. Grace and Courage.

[brer cat]

5. She does indeed.

[smirkymonkey]

17. Yes we are!

I have high hopes for her! We are lucky to have her.

[Cha]

6. Ayanna has a beautiful spirit as well!

[Neema]

7. Just saw this on Twitter. Hair or no hair, she is GORGEOUS.

I would love to have those cheekbones, gorgeous skin, beautiful eyes and mouth. Fuck anyone who has anything negative to say.

8. And if she ever wanted a different look, just toss on a wig!

Super easy to change out when you don't have to pin up your own hair! She is an astounding beauty.

[niyad]

9. She is stunning.

[lunatica]

10. She seems to have the makeup blending down pat.

No demarcation lines. No different skin colors.

On top of beauty and brains she’s an expert in putting makeup on!

[MontanaMama]

11. She could give makeup tips

to the orange MF in the WH.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

19. Yeah, I noticed that for some reason, IT doesn't seem to think that folks'll notice that the orange

slapped TF on his face is not only creepy AF but it doesn't match the PASTY WHITE COLOR on his ears, neck, hands & under the eyes, (REVERSE RACOON LOOK?). However, I have one question, as a woman with naturally golden copper caramel skin, WHY DO RACIST WHITES who claim to be SUPERIOR based on the near lack of melanin in their skin spend BILLIONS on tanning booths, coppertone type tanning lotions spray tans? I've NEVER understood that. ANYONE? lol!

12. Hair, no hair - doesn't matter to me.

Her intellect, her compassion, her policies - they matter.

[WVreaper]

13. I have two friends with alopecia.

Alopecia is an auto immune disease that causes a loss of hair. Sometimes just clumps, sometimes more than that.

[aidbo]

27. I have alopecia areata. (Spotty hair loss on my head)

It comes (usually triggered by stress) and goes but I’m also a male with male pattern baldness so not many people notice when I have a bout of it.

It first manifested in my facial hair in my thirties. I was upset at first but have come to accept it. Plus it is fun to educate people who ask about it. And it is heart warming when others with it express their solidarity. I didn’t even know there was an alopecia awareness month.

[mountain grammy]

14. Good for her, and she's gorgeous

I had a good friend with alopecia..

[MacKasey]

15. She is gorgeous

She reminds me of the actresses in Black Panther, tall and beautiful and you would not mess with them

[xxqqqzme]

16. My daughter's first grade

teacher had alopecia. She explained the condition to all the kids. They saw the results. Those kids loved that teacher. Most of the parents did too. My daughter considered that teacher one of her inspirations to be a teacher

[In It to Win It]

18. QUEEN!

[calimary]

20. She looks like that famous bust of Cleopatra.

All she'd need is the headdress.

She's right. Who needs hair with those cheekbones? (Or just generally with that face?)

[sarge43]

22. Nefertiti and yes, timeless beauty.

[calimary]

30. Oh shame on me! I should have known that!

It IS Nefertiti.

But the beauty IS timeless. And the Congresswoman looks like a classic sculpture. Cheekbones and all.

[sarge43]

21. I might not sell my soul, but I'd consider renting it out to look that good.

Could drown in those eyes.

[LudwigPastorius]

23. You go, girl.

I am an on-again/off-again member of The Squad too.

[George II]

24. I started losing my hair around 30 years old, but not due to a medical condition....

It was a hereditary condition.

[SunSeeker]

25. Having lost my hair during chemo, I know first hand how uncomfortable wigs are.

They're hot, scratchy and you worry they'll slip off with any sudden movement. It is so much more comfortable just walking around bald. But for women, there is a huge stigma attached to being bald. The stares are more uncomfortable than the wig. It takes a lot of guts for a woman to just go out in public bald. I couldn't do it. Ayanna Pressley is amazing.

[LuckyCharms]

26. She is freakin' gorgeous. I remember how struck i was...

when I first saw her on TV.

[VA_Jill]

28. My late son

started shaving his head during his first tour in Iraq and just never stopped. He said it was because he was afraid of the fleas and the Iraqi barbers in equal measure, and then he got used to the look.

[malaise]

29. She has beautiful skin n/t
