In this deeply inspiring episode of The Bougie Baldie Podcast, host and hair loss coach Kellie Rhymes sits down with the radiant Michele Johnson—a 55-year-old unapologetically bald woman of color—to talk about her personal journey with alopecia areata.
After years of hiding behind braids, weaves, sisterlocks, and wigs, Michele decided to shed not just her hair, but society’s expectations. What started as hesitation became a bold statement of self-love and confidence. Together, Michele and Kellie unpack the emotional toll of hair loss, the pressures of beauty standards in Black communities, and the unspoken connection between health and hair.
💬 Real talk includes:
The physical and emotional impacts of alopecia
The truth about locks, tension, and traction alopecia
How internal health factors like fibroids and thyroid issues contribute to hair loss
Coping with public stares and misconceptions—especially from kids and potential partners
The importance of support groups like Baldicon and building a sisterhood of bald beauty
Whether you're navigating your own hair loss journey or simply seeking empowering stories of resilience, this episode is a must-listen. Michele reminds us all that beauty isn't defined by strands—it’s defined by strength.
✨ ”I may not have hair, but I have high cheekbones and confidence—and I rock both.” – Michele Johnson
