The F.A.B Podcast

What happens when a mother and daughter sit down to talk about the bond they share, the lessons they’ve learned, and the legacy they’re creating together?

In The Legacy Between Us — Part 1, Hadiyah Adrianne sits down with Ms. Towanda and her daughter, Ashley, for an honest and heartfelt conversation about motherhood, daughterhood, family, identity, generational wisdom, and the experiences that shape who we become.

Through stories, reflection, and meaningful questions, Towanda and Ashley share their perspectives on their relationship, the lessons they’ve learned from one another, and what they hope to carry forward into the next generation.

This conversation is a reminder that legacy isn’t only about what we leave behind — it’s also about what we pour into one another while we’re here.

And there’s more to the conversation. Part 2 continues next week.

 Episode 5: Becoming Her Beyond the Boxes

What happens when you realize the version of you that everyone knows isn’t necessarily the woman you’re becoming?

In this episode of The F.A.B. Podcast, I’m joined by Elajah Pace and we’re going Beyond the Boxes—the labels, expectations, roles, and assumptions that can shape how women see themselves and how others see them.

For Black women especially, there can be so many identities and expectations placed upon us before we ever get the opportunity to ask: Who am I beyond what everyone needs me to be?

This conversation is about creating space to discover, define, and embrace the woman within—outside of the roles we’ve been assigned, the expectations we’ve inherited, and the boxes we may have learned to stay inside.

Elajah and I talk about identity, self-definition, authenticity, growth, motherhood, relationships, purpose, and the courage it takes to give yourself permission to become someone you may not have had the space to be before.

Because becoming isn’t about fitting into a better box.

It’s about realizing you were never meant to be confined to one.

A reminder that you are allowed to evolve.
 You are allowed to redefine yourself.
 You are allowed to become.

Episode 4: Aligned Connections: Thriving in Your Purpose

Are the connections around you helping you thrive in your purpose?

Because who you’re connected to matters. 

In this episode of The F.A.B. Podcast, I’m joined by Kaylah Stringfield for a conversation about aligned connections, community, faith, entrepreneurship, and purpose.

Kaylah and I first connected at Pilates, and what began as a simple connection grew into a relationship centered around encouragement, shared purpose, and supporting one another as women navigating our own paths.

We’re talking about what it means to recognize an aligned connection, the difference between genuine community and transactional networking, choosing collaboration over comparison, and how the right relationships can encourage us to step more boldly into who God created us to be.

Because becoming doesn’t always happen alone.

Sometimes God places people in our lives who challenge us, encourage us, open doors, and remind us of what’s possible.

While connecting us to people along the way who become apart of our becoming.

Season 3 | Episode 3: Choosing The Woman Within 

What if the life you're praying for begins with choosing the woman within? 

 And what happens when becoming who God created you to be means going back and healing the parts of you that still need to be seen, heard, and loved?

In Season 3, Episode 3 of The F.A.B. Podcast, I’m sitting down with Ashley Avent for a vulnerable conversation about grief, identity, healing, motherhood, and choosing yourself without guilt.

Ashley shares her personal journey of losing her father at just seven years old and how that early loss shaped the woman she became. Together, we talk about healing the little girl within, navigating life’s transitions, and learning to choose yourself while still honoring the woman you’ve been.

Because sometimes becoming isn’t about becoming someone completely new. It’s about healing, growing, and giving yourself permission to step fully into the woman who has been within you all along.

This episode is a reminder that your past may have shaped you, but it does not have to define you.

You can heal.
 You can choose yourself.
 You can become. 🤎

Season 3 | Episode 2: The Woman I Became

Who are you when the life you planned no longer exists?

In Season 3 of The F.A.B. Podcast, we’re exploring Becoming—the journey of becoming who God created you to be, even when life takes you in a direction you never expected.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jenna Snowden for a vulnerable and honest conversation about navigating the end of a 15-year marriage and discovering who you are when the life you once knew changes completely.

Jenna shares what it looked like to move through divorce, redefine her identity, heal, and begin creating a new life for herself. We talk about the emotions that come with starting over, the courage it takes to choose yourself, and the realization that sometimes losing the life you planned can create space for the woman you were always meant to become.

The Woman I Became is a conversation about letting go, healing, identity, and embracing a new chapter—not because you planned for it, but because you’re willing to believe there is still purpose on the other side.

Because becoming isn’t about becoming someone completely new. Sometimes, it’s about discovering the woman who was there all along.

What happens when God places a vision on your heart, but the journey to bring it to life looks nothing like you expected?

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the story behind Fashion & Beyond—from losing my mother, navigating career transitions, and learning to trust God’s direction, to launching a podcast and building a personal brand rooted in purpose.

Join me as I reflect on grief, faith, obedience, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and the lessons I’ve learned while becoming the woman God called me to be.
