This week, we're chatting about showing up authentically, consistently and in style. My special guest, Kanesha (Kay) Davenport, is a style influencer and an expert when it comes to this week's topic. Kay's battle with postpartum depression after having her twins, left her in an identity crisis. She began documenting her style journey as a way to rediscover her confidence and that movement caught the attention of other women, moms, fashionistas and brands. She’s a full time mom, wife, academic coach and business owner, and it was important for her to find her own happiness and fulfillment outside of the roles she carries that surround the needs of everyone else.

In this episode, Kay shares about:

• Her start as a style influencer
• How to prioritize consistency and how to define it
• The importance of remaining authentic
• Staple pieces every woman should have in her closet
• Summer fashion trends and must haves
• Defining your personal style
• Balancing online and offline life
• Navigating postpartum depression and identity crisis
• Tips for other influencers wanting to grow on social media
• And much more.

Kay dropped gem after gem after gem! This was such an amazing conversation.
