Baldie Brigade Apparel

05/16/2026

Baldie Brigade Apparel LLC Founder Nakisha Jolanda Gregory, known as The Crown Confidence Alchemist, has been quietly building during this season and now she is preparing the community for what comes next.

Over the last several months, Nakisha has been intentional about reflecting, praying, learning, and preparing for the continued growth of Baldie Brigade beyond social media and apparel.

What began as a confidence centered lifestyle brand has continued evolving into something much deeper. Baldie Brigade was always meant to become a true sisterhood rooted in healing, education, empowerment, connection, and honest conversations for women navigating alopecia, identity shifts, and becoming.

Because of this continued growth, the Baldie Brigade Squad Facebook group will slowly begin transitioning into the new Baldie Brigade Squad Skool Community.

This transition is designed to create a more intentional space where Empresses can connect beyond algorithms, distractions, and constantly missed posts. The Skool platform will allow conversations, workshops, challenges, educational resources, healing discussions, and confidence centered experiences to live together in one organized community space while also helping more women discover the movement worldwide.

Inside the Baldie Brigade Squad Skool Community, members can expect:
• Crown Confidence conversations
• Alopecia education
• Healing reflections
• Challenges and mirror work
• Retreat and meetup updates
• Sisterhood discussions
• Encouragement and support
• Confidence building resources

Most importantly, the goal is for every Empress to feel seen, safe, heard, valued, and connected.

Baldie Brigade was never just about hair loss.
It has always been about rediscovering identity, confidence, healing, and purpose.

The movement is still building.
Still healing.
Still becoming.

And this is only the beginning.

Unveil your crown.
Embrace your shine.

We Are Seeking 4 Empresses!

There are moments in a movement when the call becomes more specific. More intentional. More sacred.

This is one of those moments. Baldie Brigade Apparel LLC is now officially seeking four Alopecia Empresses who are ready to step forward and share their story as part of The C.R.O.W.N. Monologues Alopecia Awareness Calendar 2027.

This is not just a model opportunity.
This is a storytelling experience.
A healing experience.
A visibility experience.

We are creating space for women who have walked the journey of hair loss to be seen, heard, and celebrated in a powerful and beautiful way.

If you are an Empress who has learned to transform vulnerability into strength. If you are ready to help another woman feel less alone. If you feel in your spirit that your story has purpose beyond your pain…

We want to hear from you.

This project is about more than images.
It is about identity.
It is about courage.
It is about reclaiming your voice and standing fully in your shine.

Only four Empresses will be selected in this next round.

If your heart is saying, “This is my moment,” trust that feeling.

To apply, please email:
Founder & Chief of Community Engagement Nakisha Gregory

Tag an Empress who needs to see this.
Share this post so the right women can find their way to this opportunity.

This powerful awareness project is proudly sponsored by Rickie Recardo Sumler, Owner of Rickie Recardo Photography, whose creative vision helps bring strength, emotion, and authenticity to every story captured.

When one woman unveils her crown, another woman somewhere finds the courage to do the same.

Unveil your crown.
Embrace your shine. 🦚

Now this is how you turn your pain into passion and purpose! Thank you Balance Wash And Fold for being such an inspiration to the 757!

She Was a Single Mom Who Hated Spending 4 Hours at the Laundromat...

So she built a solution for herself, and for everyone like her.

Hi, I'm Desiree, founder of Balance Wash & Fold.

Working 8-5, raising two kids, and spending 3-4 hours every week at the laundromat felt like a second job. I knew there had to be a better way.

That frustration became a business. Today, we serve busy families, military households, college students, professionals, and commercial clients across Virginia Beach, Norfolk & Chesapeake.

Our mission is simple: put the balance back between your life and your laundry.

We pick up. We wash. We fold. We deliver. And we treat every customer like family — not just a client.

If you're tired of laundry stealing your time, let us take it off your plate.

👇 Drop a ❤️ if you could use one less thing on your to-do list.

30 Day Crown Confidence Challenge

Day 3

Yesterday we honored the moment many of us first realized our hair loss journey had begun. The stories shared reminded us of something powerful.

We are stronger when we show up for each other. Today we celebrate something just as important. Community.

Baldie Brigade was created so that no woman navigating alopecia or hair loss would ever feel like she has to walk this journey alone and the truth is, our sisterhood is bigger than we sometimes realize.

Today is our Empress Roll Call.

We want to see just how far the Baldie Brigade sisterhood reaches.

Drop a comment and tell us:

• Your city
• Your state or country

Then take a moment to say hello to another Empress in the comments.

Let’s fill this thread with women from around the world who are choosing confidence, courage, and community.

Every time an Empress shares her story, another woman somewhere realizes she is not alone.

If you are participating in the challenge, comment: CROWNED and tell us where you are checking in from today.

When one Empress rises, we all rise.
Confidence through community.
Strength through sisterhood.
Unveil your crown.
Embrace your shine. 🦚

Today, Baldie Brigade Apparel LLC invites the community into a powerful moment of reflection and healing.

Founder Nakisha Jolanda Gregory, known as The Crown Confidence Alchemist, often reminds women navigating hair loss that alopecia is not just a physical experience. It is also an emotional and identity journey.

One of the most powerful exercises within the Crown Confidence framework is writing a letter that begins with two simple words.

Dear Alopecia.

For many women, alopecia arrived unexpectedly. It changed reflections in the mirror, challenged confidence, and forced conversations with identity that were never anticipated, but healing begins when we give ourselves permission to speak honestly about that experience.

Today, Baldie Brigade invites Empresses everywhere to participate in a healing reflection. If you could write a letter that began with the words Dear Alopecia, what would you say?

Would you speak about the fear you felt when your hair first began to change?

Would you talk about the moments that made you stronger?

Would you thank the journey for teaching you confidence in ways you never expected, or would you simply release the emotions you have carried silently for years?

There is no right or wrong way to write this letter. This moment is about truth, reflection, and honoring the journey.

Baldie Brigade was created so no woman navigating hair loss has to walk that path alone. So today, the community is invited to share.

Finish this sentence in the comments.

Dear Alopecia…

30 Day Crown Confidence Challenge

Yesterday we began our journey by introducing ourselves and celebrating the beautiful Empresses who make up the Baldie Brigade community. Seeing women from different cities, backgrounds, and stages of their journey come together reminded us of something powerful.

We are not alone. Today we take the next step in our Crown Confidence journey.

Day 2 Reflection:

When was the first moment you realized your hair loss was real? For many women navigating alopecia or hair loss, there is a moment that stays with us forever.

It might have been...
The first strand in the brush
The first patch in the mirror
The first time someone asked a question you weren’t ready to answer

That moment can feel confusing, emotional, or even overwhelming. But it is also often the beginning of a deeper journey toward identity, resilience, and self acceptance.

Today we honor that moment and the strength it took to keep moving forward.

Your Turn Empress. Share your story.

When did you first realize your hair loss journey had begun? You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. This space is here for healing, sisterhood, and support.

Your story may be the encouragement another Empress needs today. If you are participating in the challenge, comment:

CROWNED

And tell us where you are checking in from today.

Together we are building something powerful.
Confidence through community.
Strength through sisterhood.

Unveil your crown.
Embrace your shine. 🦚

30 Day Crown Confidence Challenge
Day 1

Today begins Day 1 of the Crown Confidence Challenge created by Baldie Brigade Apparel LLC and its Founder, Nakisha Jolanda Gregory, The Crown Confidence Alchemist.

This challenge was designed to create a safe and empowering space where Empresses navigating alopecia, hair loss, and identity can reflect, share, and grow together.

For the next 30 days, the Baldie Brigade community will be engaging in daily reflections that encourage confidence, healing, and sisterhood.

Today’s reflection is simple.

Day 1
Introduce yourself and tell us where you are from.

Every Empress has a story. Every crown has a journey and every voice matters in this community. Whether you are newly navigating alopecia, learning to embrace your crown, or simply looking for sisterhood with women who understand the journey, you belong here.

Baldie Brigade was built on the belief that confidence begins with identity and that no Empress should have to walk this journey alone.

So let’s begin.

Drop a comment and introduce yourself. Tell us where you are from and say hello to your fellow Empresses and if you are joining the challenge, comment CROWNED below.

Unveil your crown. Embrace your shine. 🦚

Baldie Brigade Apparel LLC would like to share an important update with our community.

The Crowned Voyage cruise has been postponed. As no deposits were secured, the reserved cabins were released this week. While this was initially disappointing, we believe deeply in timing and alignment. There will be future opportunities when the moment is right for our community.

What remains unchanged is our commitment to creating safe, intentional spaces for Alopecia Empresses to gather, grow, and heal.

Founder Nakisha Jolanda Gregory is now exploring interest in hosting a weekend Straight OUTTA Hair Retreat in Williamsburg, VA. This would not be a vacation. It would be a transformational experience rooted in the Baldie Brigade philosophy:

Education first
Inner work first
Confidence built from the inside out

The retreat experience would include:

• Alopecia education and awareness
• Identity recalibration and guided mirror work
• Crown Confidence discussions
• Small group circles and facilitated healing conversations
• Prayer and reflection space
• Rest without performance
• Sisterhood without pressure

There would also be intentional joy woven throughout the weekend. Dress up dinners. Squad photos. Even a pink sparkly heels moment. But always grounded in education, enlightenment, and empowerment.

Baldie Brigade Apparel LLC is not built on events alone. It is built on experiences that create lasting transformation and authentic confidence.

We are now gauging interest for the following potential retreat months:

April
August
September

If you would be interested in attending, please comment below with the month that works best for you. Your feedback will help guide intentional planning.

We may have released cabins, but we are not releasing the vision. We are building something sustainable. Something meaningful. Something lasting.

Unveil Your Crown. Embrace Your Shine.🦚

Deposits are due by March 1, 2026.

The Crowned Voyage is our very first Baldie Brigade Invasion at Sea, sailing January 23–31, 2027 from Miami, Florida aboard Carnival Magic. This is a National Crown Confidence Day Experience, presented by Baldie Brigade Apparel LLC and sponsored by Marvel-LOUS Vacations.

This voyage is not about appearances or performance. It is about education, integration, rest, and embodied confidence for women navigating alopecia, illness, identity shifts, and life transitions. It was designed as a space to pause, reconnect, and move forward with clarity and self trust.

Throughout the voyage, we follow a gentle rhythm. Each day includes one shared experience, balanced with freedom, leisure, and personal exploration. Nothing is mandatory. Everything is intentional.

At embarkation, each Empress will be placed into a C.R.O.W.N. Team, a small, thoughtfully curated group created to offer ease, support, and connection if you choose it. These teams are not competitive and are never overwhelming. They exist as a soft landing space, not a requirement.

Highlights across the voyage include:
Affirmation at Sea
National Crown Confidence Day on January 25
B&B Power Brunch at Sea
The Crowned Gathering
Flying Dress Photoshoot Experience
Baldie Brigade Fashion Show
Elegant Evening Photo Moments
Team Awards Night and Celebration

Each moment honors presence over pressure and connection over comparison.

Cabins are officially open for booking.
You may select your stateroom, add cruise protection and gratuities, and review all itinerary details at your own pace.

Reserve your space here
https://traveljoy.com/bookings/fWN5UfzkgLrT9XuEGC7sAX2b

As we prepare for this first voyage, we will also gather monthly on Zoom leading up to sail time. These optional sessions are designed to build connection, support travel preparation, and create space for reflection and readiness. Details will be shared soon.

Why this matters?
The Crowned Voyage centers Alopecia Awareness and confidence without force. It creates room for women who are often expected to be strong to also be supported. This is education lived out through experience, not something to perform.

This is confidence embodied at sea.
This is how a movement travels.
