Robin Roberts is such a good news personality. She brings a lot of heart to whatever she reports. Last summer, she was diagnosed with cancer. She had to undergo chemotherapy which resulted in the typical chemo-related hair loss. Declaring that she didn’t want to make her illness a focus of the ABC’s Good Morning, America that she co-anchors, she started wearing a wig. Chemotherapy ended awhile back, and now that her hair has started growing out, she decided today to dump the wig and go au naturale.
I was watching Good Morning, America this morning and saw Robin Roberts. Apparently, not long after I left for work, she was talking to Diane Sawyer and declared that it was time to dump the wig. She swept the wig off her head and revealed her nearly bald head. You can watch the video here. Very touching and inspiring. She has a dignity and grace about her that makes her almost-bald head a beautiful thing.

You’re right. The bald head suits her.

I watched this and it was very inspiring. Warren’s comment was “Why are they making a big deal out of this”? I explained to him that she did it for all the women who watch her that are dealing with breast cancer and the ‘bald’ head issue. THEN, he understood!!!!
I thought she did a wonderful thing and I think she is beautiful!

I have always been such a big fan of Robin’s. She is such an insprirational woman. She always has been, and sharing her personal story with us is a testament to that! God Bless her! She really shines!
