Sheila Bridges...Lost Her Hair
I don't know if you any one watches the Fine Living channel or not, but there was a show on called "Sheila Bridges" named after the host, an African-American interior designer out of NYC. Well she happens to be in the latest Essence magazine (with Jada Pinkett Smith on the cover). she's pictured as one of the World's Most Inspiring Black Women. The stunning thing about it is that she's now bald. She used to have a beautiful head of thick curly hair.The magazine states that in 2004 she was diagnosed with alopecia areata, a disease where the body's immune system attacks the hair follicles and disrupts normal hair formation resulting in hair loss. Reportedly she lost all her hair in just over a year. She refuses to wear wigs. She states "my self-esteem is not wrapped up in my hair". My question to each of you is.....what would you do? Is your self-esteem dependent upon your hair? your hair length?
