“I did not want to go to sleep 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,” she shared. “And the image in the mirror of a person who increasingly felt like a stranger to me.” She said the last of her hair fell out on the day before the House of Representatives voted on President Trump’s articles of impeachment. “Impeachment eve the last little bit of my hair came out. I was completely bald and in a matter of hours was going to have to walk into the floor, the House chamber, the House of Representatives, and cast a vote in support of articles of impeachment. And so I didn’t have the luxury of mourning what felt like the loss of a limb.
Pressley told The Root she felt even more emotional because this was happening on the anniversary of her mother’s death. “I was missing her. I was mourning my hair. I was mourning the state of our democracy. I was mourning my mentor, Chairman Elijah Cummings,” referring to the late Congressman whoPressley’s friend helped her get a custom wig just hours before the final vote, according to The Root.
She soon realized she wanted to go public about her experience, because she felt like she “owed all those little girls an explanation.”
