I love Ayanna. Not my Rep here yet she is bold and beautiful. So brave when she came out with her condition, alopecia.

"I'm trying to find my way here, and I do believe going public will help," Pressely says as she shows her bald head. "This is my official public revealing. I am ready now because I want to be freed from the secret and the shame that that secret carries with it."

The congresswoman added: "I am making peace with having alopecia. I have not arrived there. I'm very early in my alopecia journey. But I'm making progress every day, and that's why I'm doing this today."

This is the type of woman I want leading this country. She still has her own issues to resolve yet wants to hold up others like her.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
