Let Me Be Fronk

The Fronk Sisters are back at it to conclude the first season of ‘Let Me Be Fronk.’ 

And what better way to conclude than by swapping roles for the day?! 

Jonna is driving the bus and Alyssa is in the hot seat; buckle up binch!! 

To kick things off, we made spicy pomegranate margaritas on set and filmed a fun little bonus sister vlog for you Freaks of Fronk <3 

Join in on the sister fun as we chat about Alyssa’s childhood, path into the media world, why the fook New York, how this silly talk show became a serious idea, the grueling, yet rewarding journey to this point, and what’s ahead for Let Me Be Fronk season 2. 

On Fronk 5, we talk about intentional spending with gift-giving for the holidays. Alyssa outlines ways to help curb mass consumerism, support small businesses, ethically spend, and give a meaningful gift to a loved one for Christmas 2024. 

For Let Me Be Fronk? Let’s just say things get a little salty… 

It’s real, it’s FRONKY.

NC friends, music lovers, and former yearbook weirdos; this one's for you! 

Original UK girly, proud Yearbook weirdo, and owner of ‘Modern Legend’, a record and home goods store, Catherine Hawksworth is here for an electrifying conversation on building a business, moving back to the ol' hometown, and how cool life is sometimes. 

Catherine and I go waaaayyyy back to recap all of our mysterious life intersections. Once upon a time, this storied friendship officially began inside the cozy walls of Ashley High School’s yearbook classroom, where our creativity and weirdness was celebrated. Over a decade later, our friendship continues to bloom beautifully throughout our 20s, now 30s.  

Over the years, I’ve watched Cat build a thriving small business in the last place she’d ever expect and come fully into actualized self. 8 years in, she shares how ‘Modern Legend’ has wildly evolved into a record, home goods & apparel store known for supporting the local music scene. 

So buckle up for some hot music takes, heartwarming anecdotes, and cool weirdo energy. 

And show some love for the FIRST-EVER hometown friend on 'Let Me Be Fronk’!

Meet Brooklyn's celebrated, leading engineer in hair removal, my one-of-a-kind friend Uncle Nat (they/them).

They are the Owner and Creative Director for a hair removal + facial lounge known as Uncle Nat’s, located in Brooklyn, New York. Uncle Nat’s challenges the outdated and non-inclusive norms of salon culture; this space provides comfort and safety for those often overlooked or underserved. Fat, trans, disabled people, and anyone who doesn’t fit the mold, are always welcomed at Uncle Nat’s. 

This layered conversation has it all: tales from the salon world in the 80s, Nat's previous career in music, why they're taking back the word “uncle,” their journey of transitioning later in life, the genesis of their gender-affirming business, and why community building is imperative, to tease a few.

They are a wealth of knowledge, a champion for many underserved communities, a savvy entrepreneur and a damn hoot to chat with. 

I love Nat and always have the best conversations when we are together. Don’t believe me? Hit play & enjoy!

It’s certainly the season of the witch!

We also cover how she discovered her love for tarot and ability to tap into psychic practices and mediumship. 

She is the definition of resilience, brave— in true Leo form, and a beautiful human inside and out.

LA’s hottest and most iconic Persian Armenian graces the show; please welcome my study abroad bestie Selin Babakhani! 

On this episode of Let Me Be Fronk, Selin shares her family’s incredible immigration story from Tehran, Iran to their new home in Los Angeles, California in the 90s.

Faced with case delays, a hard winter, and limited resources, Selin recounts her family’s 13 month stay at a Christian-Armenian refugee camp in Madrid, Spain as they awaited U.S. citizenship— including a moving account of how her Mom offered translation to help speed up the process for 164 families in limbo. 

We also celebrate 10 beautiful years of friendship after meeting on Forum-Nexus Study Abroad back in the summer of 2014. Hear the genesis of our friendship, how we went on to work for the program and spend a handful of summers in Europe together, and the wild times had while abroad and since.

This episode is moving, nostalgic, and silly; or as Selin likes to say, ‘sexy.’ If you know her, you just know. But in short: I think you’ll enjoy— everyone always loves Selin.
