You may recognize Theo as the singer of the all female punk band Lunachicks who' toured the world for over a decade or from her years as a model (CKBe, Kenneth Cole, Betsey Johnson, Patricia Field) and actress (Tadpole, Bringing Out The Dead, etc) or as the creator of NY lip gloss brand, Armour Beauty. Theo’s passion for creating art, music and beauty is an on going adventure with no plans of stopping. Especially with the release of the band biography, Fallopian Rhapsody out now, and a recent return to the stage with Lunachicks. 

Today marks a very special episode of The Mothers of Reinvention, as it is the first to feature a father. Jake Graf is an international award winning director, writer and actor based in London. He uses the medium of film to elicit positive change, giving representation to rarely seen characters and stories and promoting acceptance and understanding. Using his platform to give a voice to the trans male community, Jake is widely considered to be one of the most visible trans men in the UK.  All of his films are used as educational tools in universities, schools, prisons and media events internationally.

He and wife Hannah Graf MBE were the subjects of 2020's hit Channel 4 documentary 'Our Baby: A Modern Miracle', following their journey to becoming parents to daughter Millie. Both husband and wife are patrons of the Mermaids Charity, The Albert Kennedy Trust, ambassadors for Age UK and judges for The National Diversity Awards, The European Diversity Awards and The Rainbow Honours.

I scream! You scream! We all scream for Ice Cream! On this episode of The Mothers of Reinvention, host Jess Zaino sits down with Interior Designer turned All Chill Ice Cream Shop Owner and Maker, Genelle Brooks-Petty. What started out as a behind the scenes conversation about the VH-1 reality show that Genelle and Jess starred on, quickly turned into a lesson on the incredibly rich history of the Los Angeles neighborhood of Leimert Park. From here, the women talk their favorite All Chill ice cream flavors - like Cherry Vanilla, Champagne Sorbet, Lavender Coffee, Smoked Olive Oil and an adult version of Bubble Gum - and reflect on their time hosting a Los Angeles fundraiser for Vice President Kamala Harris, a fellow Howard Alum. You Know!

Genelle is the Principal Designer at BPC Interior Design. Board Member SoCal NOMA, an Associate AIA, Allied ASID and Co-owner of All Chill Inc. Working for the exposure of all things beautiful, our principal  designer, Genelle Brooks-Petty, lives by the words of her beloved  grandmother, "This is not a dress rehearsal. So, live it to the  fullest!" As a consultant, she has taken that passionate approach to  build a successful wardrobe styling business. It was her clients in that  realm who pushed her into interior design. While studying interior  architecture at UCLA, honing skills under a famed designer, and  servicing residential and boutique scale commercial clients of her own,  Genelle has developed a unique approach to interior design. Her work bridges gaps. It is historical with a modern edge; cost-efficient and  high style; vintage and brand-new. Genelle is a graduate of Howard  University's School of Business and holds a Master of Interior  Architecture from the UCLA Extension/ California State Polytechnic  University, Pomona joint study program.
