Hey bbs! Auntie is back from her move (which we’ll dig into in the next solo episode) and is sitting down in her proverbial living room with the captivating creative director and founder of jewelry brand VEERT, Julia Lang. A fixture in the fashion and media world, as an in-demand entrepreneur, culture connoisseur, and brand builder, Julia is one of those well-connected and creative New Yorkers who you always wonder, “How did you get your job?” We unpack her journey from Tanzania to New York, her experiences in the fashion industry, and the challenges of building a brand in a male-dominated space. The mama of one also shares her trials from hustling in her early years, her transformative experience working with Rocafella’s Kareem Biggs, and how she’s upending gender norms with her wildly successful jewelry brand, VEERT. You won’t want to miss this entrepreneur's incredible advice on brand building and remaining authentic in this ever-changing digital climate, so be sure to take notes!
