Ep 30: Katie Sturino

The Megababe herself, Katie Sturino, is joining us today to talk about the Dyson AirWrap! Everyone knows Katie for her #SupersizeTheLook Instagram campaign and her ability to “call brands in” to #MakeMySize. Now she and I go deep on the Dyson, shopping for “extended” sizing at straight size stores, and way more.

We also talk about some of my favorite Megababe products (like THIGH RESCUE, SERIOUSLY, GUYS, BUY THIGH RESCUE), and what’s coming next for Katie and the brand.

The airdate of this episode is June 19th aka Juneteenth, the day that marks the official end of slavery in the United States. Unfortunately, Black people in 2020 are anything but liberated in America, which is why we all must take on the fight for their true freedom by dismantling the systems that keep them oppressed. 

If you’re looking for Juneteenth reading, watching or listening, start with Vann R. Newkirk III’s 2017 essay for The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/juneteenth-celebration-police-brutality-justice/530898/ This essay was written by Newkirk in response to the back-to-back murders of Philando Castile in St. Paul, MN, and Charleena Lyles in Seattle, WA. Both were shot to death by police officers. You will find in this essay many of the common threads of conversations we are still having three years later, and you will find that these conversations have been going on for centuries before we began to truly listen.

I have been starting each day this week listening to Danielle Henderson’s powerful words. Sometimes I listen multiple times. I would love for you to listen, too. Even if you already have. https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0bVCghhJS/
