This episode is part of my Cashmere and Collard Greens Syllabus Series.

Welcome to the Cashmere and Collard Greens Winter 2026 Syllabus! Every single one of us is shaped by the things we take in. From the fabrics we prefer in our closets and the art we pause in front of, to the stories we internalized before we had language for them, the culture that raised us, and the spaces we build around ourselves over time.

I started Cashmere and Collard Greens because I love style, culture, beauty, and the ongoing work of building a life that feels like my own, but as a narrative strategist and a researcher of media and culture, I also carry a lot of questions. I am always paying attention to context and meaning, curious about why something resonates, why certain things feel grounding while others don’t, how taste develops across seasons of life, and why some stories stay lodged in us long after we should have been able to set them down.

Each module in this syllabus is designed to help you notice patterns rather than prescribe outcomes, and hopefully will offer structure without flattening your experience.

Module 1 is all about home. The spaces that raised us, the objects we keep, and the meaning we assign to all of it, consciously or not.

I’m in conversation with Tyka Pryde, Emmy-nominated interior and production designer, about memory, inheritance, taste, and the emotional life of rooms. We talk about how homes hold stories long after people leave them, and how space quietly shapes who we become.

If this conversation resonates, the full Module One experience lives on my Substack. It includes the complete conversation, a reading and media guide, and reflective exercises designed to help you think more deeply about your own relationship to home.
