***Sorry about the lighting! We’re working on getting it right and you’re seeing the unveiling of it in real time!

Coming out of the holidays, many entrepreneurs are carrying more than just fatigue—they’re carrying uncertainty, overstimulation, and pressure to move faster than they’re ready for.

In this episode of The Brand Unveiled, Brianna Régine explores why control, intention, and discernment matter more than speed—especially in a year shaped by AI saturation, platform shifts, and creative sameness. Using TikTok’s U.S. ownership restructure as a cultural signal, Brianna connects the dots between governance, influence, and how entrepreneurs should be thinking about technology, visibility, and decision-making in their own businesses.

The episode also features an on-the-mic consulting moment about an early-stage freelancer who’s questioning how to keep going—despite making real progress.

If you’re building something meaningful and wondering whether your effort is “enough yet,” this episode is a reminder that staying in the game is part of the work.

In this episode of The Brand Unveiled, Brianna Régine sits down with Destini French, founder of Cultured Roots, to explore a journey rooted in confidence, identity, and community.

From a career-ending basketball injury to teaching herself how to braid her own hair, Destini shares how uncertainty led her into entrepreneurship and ultimately to opening a salon in Bozeman, Montana—where resources and representation for Black women were limited. She reflects on building community in isolation, navigating growth during uncertain times, and using hair as a powerful form of self-expression.

This conversation highlights the role of confidence, individuality, and education in business—and serves as a reminder that clarity isn’t required to begin, but courage is.

As part of our Black Women Entrepreneurs of America campaign, Destini proudly represents Montana.
