MUA, creator, and  businesswoman Violette has built a reputation as one of the most hardworking and dedicated women in the beauty industry - and for good reason. Despite having no formal training, at just 19 years old, Violette had the vision to create one-of-a-kind pigments and to build a career on her own terms. Today, the red lipsticks, blue eyeshadows, and serums found within her eponymous brand are unlike anything I have ever seen. Tune in to hear how she fell in love with color and art as a young girl, how she built her hustle as an MUA, why diversity is so critical to her brand, her relationship with beauty as a mother of two, and more.

Episode Description: As many of us jump into the new year with high hopes of reevaluating and shifting our daily habits, my relationship with alcohol has been top of mind. While drinking has always been in the background of my social and professional life, its side effects have never been particularly enjoyable. And after moving to LA, now more than ever, I’m questioning its necessity. If you find yourself in a similar boat, this conversation with three women navigating their relationship to alcohol and creating spaces and alternatives to allow us all to do the same may be just what you need. Tune into my conversations with Amelia Glum, Khadi A. Oluwatoyin of Sober Black Girls Club, and Mélanie Masarin of Ghia to discuss: 

• Being mindful of your alcohol triggers
• Breaking out of the relationship you’ve established with alcohol in college 
• Reframing what “drinking” looks like without alcohol 
• …and more!

Episode Description: While many can easily identify Sir John as makeup artist to some of the most influential women in the world, few know exactly how he got there and - perhaps even more interestingly - how he’s managed to stay grounded through it all.

Tune in for an incredibly intimate interview where we discuss: 

• His mother’s encouragement of his artistry from a young age
• Sir John’s drive and work ethic to make it as a makeup artist in New York City.

Fashion founder, owner and buyer Telsha Anderson-Boone wasn’t what the industry expected. But as it turns out, she was exactly what it needed. After seeing a lack of curated brick and mortar experiences for up-and-coming labels, Telsha opened T.a. down in New York’s Meatpacking district. Now, three years later, Telsha is a mom, wife and LA transplant ready to expand her brand in new and refreshing ways. Tune in as we discuss being one of very few Black women within her profession, how dating her husband encouraged her to take more fashion risks, the effects of motherhood on mind and body, and so much more.
