Undoubtedly, her confidence took center stage for alopecia awareness, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss. Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Armani’s move was a part of “My cause, my boots” for alopecia awareness, demonstrating her courage.

However, recently, during a discussion with Sabrina Talbert, Women’s Health’s editorial assistant, she disclosed her journey with alopecia areata. She revealed that she has been suffering from this major hair loss illness since the age of 12.

Alopecia areata badly affected her immune system and hair follicles caused patchy bald spots that appeared to get larger with stress. It was not easy to handle the situation, but she flawlessly battled with the hair loss illness.

Even with an optimistic mindset, she moved forward with the power of vulnerability. She remarked, “Once I truly embraced my new reality, I knew I wasn’t a victim.” Given that the condition affects many worldwide, she added, “I would rather speak out to bring awareness to this condition than allow people to think negatively about themselves.”

As per the National Alopecia Areata Foundation survey, more than 7 million in the US, and 160 million globally face alopecia and, women are more prone to it. Even earlier, Latimer had made several awareness posts on her IG handle for the weird hair loss medical illness
