This week on the podcast I get to talk with the incredible Sloane Tucker! Sloane is a wedding photographer currently based out of the Hudson Valley in New York. Sloane started her photography business when she was only 19. But her passion for the craft started in high school. In this episode, we talk about what it's like not only being a woman photographer but being a black woman in the business. We cover what it's been like to build her business from the ground up, demanding her worth from clients, and what it's like being an independent artist during a global pandemic.

This week on the pod I talk to the queen, the dream, and comedienne supreme that is Bethany Burgess. Bethany is a budding comedienne based out of New York. We discuss how she got started on her journey into the improv world. Starting from humble beginnings cracking jokes as a way to avoid social interactions with family members to earning a spot on one of The Peoples Improv Theater's house teams, Bethany is a true treasure. She takes me through what it's like to pursue your dream but still having to make the 9-5 grind. You don't want to miss this episode of More Than A Pretty Face!

This week on the pod I talk with the incredible soul that is Madison Malone. Madison is a singer, songwriter, composer, and producer based in Los Angeles. Little did she know after her uncle asked her to sing in his bar, that she'd discover her passion.  Her senior year of college, Madison made the decision that music was it and moved to LA only a few months later. Madison and I talk about her life as a performer, her journey from being a singer in Wisconsin to writing songs for Celine Dion, being a demo singer, and her passion for helping people through music.

And we're back for another episode with the amazingly talented and beautiful soul that is Rachel Beaureguard! Rachel is a singer-songwriter, touring, and recording artist based out of Nashville but came from the DMV.  Just off a whirlwind international tour being the background vocalist for acclaimed star Hozier, Rachel and I talk about the tour life and living out her dream. She gets real about adjusting back to normal life. Rachel started like many singers - in the church. But changed her focus to acting before going back to her first love - singing. She toured and recorded with her band Native Run for 8 years sharing stages with Lady Antebellum, Rachael Lampa, and more. Her biggest advice to aspiring artists is to not have a Plan B - you have to want this. It truly was such a treat and a dream to listen to Rachel share her story and passion for music. You don't want to miss this episode.  *Bonus: the music in this episode is Native Run's*

This week on the pod I get to talk with the incredible Kat Lundie! In this episode, Kat talks about her identity being half Filipino and half white and what drives her to work in the immigration community. She describes her struggle with finding ways to identify with her Filipino culture growing up in a mostly white community. We dive deep into what it's like being a woman of color navigating white spaces and how the 2016 election sparked her passion to commit to a life of service for immigrants.

On this week's very special episode of More Than A Pretty Face, I interview Obi Okolo and Jonathan Tolbert! That's right: they're MEN! I let my two very dear friends Obi and Jon come on the podcast as a follow-up to last week's episode with their lovely partners Maggie and Rebecca in Ebony and Ivory: 2020 Edition. We expand on the conversation of inter-racial relationships - this time from the guy's perspective. Obi and Jonathan dive deep into their identity as black men as it relates not only to their relationships but to the world around them.  We cover everything from race, identity, Ahmaud Arbery, the beauty of black women, the beauty of their relationships, and more. What an incredibly vulnerable, honest, and at times, funny conversation we had. This may be a long one but you definitely don't wanna miss this episode of More Than A Pretty Face.

In this week's episode, I had the opportunity to speak with my dear friends Maggie and Rebecca! On this week's pod, we cover a very important and timely topic: interracial relationships in 2020. Maggie is dating a Nigerian man while Rebecca is married to a black DC native. We cover the beauty and difficulties of their relationships within a 2020 context. I was so honored to have such a vulnerable and honest conversation with these two ladies surrounding the complexities of race and identity. It's so good you're just going to have to listen for yourself!

This week's episode of More Than A Pretty Face is a very special one. This week I get to talk with one of my closest friends, roommate for the past three years, and returning guest Lydia Cardona. We reflect on what it's been like to not only be roomies for the past three years but what it was like becoming friends. As we enter into these new chapters of our lives, we discuss what brought us together and how we've grown. In this episode, we laugh (a lot), make jokes, reminisce, and of course cry. Listen as I talk with the Gayle to my Oprah and how I'm the Frankie to her Grace on this episode of More Than A Pretty Face.

And More Than A Pretty Face is back! In this new episode, I have a great conversation with the incredible Carolina Soto! Carolina and I talk about her faith journey over the past few years - how she had to leave to come back. We dive deep into what it's like to grow, change and be vulnerable. Somehow we cover everything from having immigrant parents, faith, and even chat about the new season of Insecure! Carolina learned how to find God in the ordinary - an ordinary coffee shop to be more specific. Listen and hear more about this incredible lady and us tell you why Molly is being trifling!
