About the B&B Power Brunch Series
The B&B Power Brunch Series is a national confidence-centered gathering created to celebrate sisterhood, visibility, and healing for women navigating alopecia, hair loss, and bold self-identity. Founded by Nakisha Jolanda Gregory, Navy Veteran, International Best-Selling Author, and Founder of Baldie Brigade Apparel LLC, the B&B Power Brunch was born from a deeply personal moment. On January 25, 2019, Nakisha publicly revealed her bald head for the first time, choosing confidence over fear and visibility over hiding. That day became her #BaldAversary, and what began as personal healing evolved into a powerful movement. Now entering its 4th year in 2026, the B&B Power Brunch Series has grown into a multi-city, multi-format experience designed to meet women where they are, both emotionally and geographically.
The Vision
The B&B Power Brunch Series exists to create safe, affirming spaces where women can gather without pressure, performance, or pretense. It is rooted in the belief that healing happens in community and confidence grows through connection.
Each year follows an intentional rhythm:
-
Even Years focus on Power Brunch Meetups, relaxed, accessible gatherings hosted simultaneously in cities across the country.
-
Odd Years feature a Formal Power Brunch Experience, offering an elevated, curated celebration of confidence and visibility.
This intentional structure allows the movement to balance intimacy with elevation, gathering first, then rising together.
What to Expect
Whether experienced as a meetup or a formal brunch, the B&B Power Brunch Series centers on:
-
Sisterhood and shared storytelling
-
Honest conversation and emotional connection
-
Visibility without explanation
-
Confidence rooted in authenticity
-
Community over competition
There is no stage to perform on and no version of yourself you are required to bring, only presence.
A Nationwide Movement
In 2026, the B&B Power Brunch Series expands through the Baldie Brigade Squad Invasion, with meetups hosted at IHOP locations nationwide on the same day, creating a unified moment of connection across time zones. Local hosts, known as Alopecia Empresses, lead each city gathering, reinforcing the belief that leadership lives within the community itself.
More Than an Event
The B&B Power Brunch Series is an extension of the Baldie Brigade ecosystem, aligning with the brand’s mission to help women Unveil Their Crown and Embrace Their Shine. It is not about hair loss—it is about identity, resilience, and reclaiming confidence on one’s own terms. Through intentional gathering, shared meals, and visible sisterhood, the B&B Power Brunch Series continues to transform healing into purpose and purpose into legacy.
