December 05, 2021 DJ LA FLOR
Meet Donnel & Ian. This duo has been cultivating a friendship like no other for almost a decade. After experiencing hardship caused by the pandemic, Donnel and Ian decided to start a new business in beautiful floral arrangements and installations in the Bay Area.

“The most beautiful aspect about flowers is that they’re not meant to stay. We honor that beauty, ground ourselves with what empowers us to be our best, and that serves as our inspiration in our creativity and our work. This is our ‘Flower Chapter’. A chapter of our adventures filled with all the good vibes and love of our ongoing and extraordinary tale of mentorship turned brotherhood. We may not know what’s exactly ahead but we’ve always known how to bring the best out in each other. We’re riding that vibe and enjoying all the beauty and fun times that bloom along the way.”

Meet our first model, Izzy Israel! Izzy is a 26-year-old Trans Latinx Artist and Model that spent her youth between Kissimmee FL, Miami FL, and Mandeville Louisiana. She has been studying Visual Arts since the age of seven and got accepted to a magnet performing arts high school for Fine Art.

Throughout her High school career, she experimented with other forms of art and found a love for Acting. At the ripe age of seventeen, she moved to New York City where she would attend Parsons the New School for Design and double major in Communication and Accessory Design. Soon after acquiring her BFA, she landed her first big-time job at Coach as an accessory designer and since then has designed for many other companies such as The Row and Madewell all the while embarking on a journey of acceptance and self-discovery.

She quickly found that a corporate lifestyle did not fulfill her and decided to continue to pursue her Performing Arts Dreams. She soon after was scouted via social media and began her modeling/acting career all the while painting and doing graphic design work. She hopes to one day to be an inspiration to other young Trans and Cis women of color.

SHE BURNT BEYONCÉ'S CAKE! Meet our next guest: chef, small business owner, cooking instructor & our favorite dessert connoisseur, Samantha!
"Growing up my mom was the cake lady of the area where we lived. For years I saw her put together birthday cakes, weddings cakes, and dessert bars. Around the age of 16, I started to help my mom out with these orders. With no professional experience, I started taking on orders around 19 while I was in school for nursing. That was always a dream but by the age of 20, I toured a culinary school sat in class, and fell in love with the cooking world. After graduating from culinary school two years later, I worked for high-end hotels and was exposed to a whole new side of cooking. Dealing with celebrities left and right and working insane hours. After the hotel, I helped open a restaurant for a Michelin star chef which was incredible. I stayed there for a little while until I got a job offer at my dream job working for wolf gang puck at Spago. In 2020 I landed my current job being a chef instructor and doing my own dessert business on the side."

October 17, 2021 SALEM
Meet Salem, psychedelic artist & guest of episode 4. In this episode, we dive into identity, insecurity, hope, trauma, and finding yourself.

“I’ve always loved art on all levels of media. I’ve been creating this type of art for about 4 years now. Each piece is very personal on some level. I call the eyes I draw lil critters. I draw and transform my trauma into art. I also do poetry. That and art are probably my greatest and most vulnerable releases and sources of growth in this world. And I’m so grateful for it to be seen as beautiful.”
