Fashion & Beyond

Faithful. Authentic. Bold.

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.

This isn’t just the story of how I started a podcast. It’s the story of how God stretched me, healed me, redirected me, and helped me become the woman behind F.A.B.

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.

If you’ve ever questioned your next step, struggled with trusting God’s timing, or wondered if it’s too late to start, this episode is for you.

Stay FAB 💕✌🏾

In this episode I’m joined by a very special guest — my daughter Bella, co-owner of BellaBoo LipPop. Together, we have an honest conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, and what it means to build something meaningful as a mother-daughter team.

We discuss Bella’s experience being part of a growing business at a young age, the importance of encouraging creativity in children, and how legacy is created through the things we intentionally pour into the next generation. This episode is filled with real moments, inspiration, and reflections on family, purpose, and building something that can last for generations to come.

Whether you’re a parent, entrepreneur, creative, or someone working toward leaving a positive impact, this conversation is a reminder that legacy starts with the seeds we plant today.

What happens when you stop forcing what no longer fits and begin aligning with the life God is calling you to?

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with journalist and storyteller Alanah to discuss faith, purpose, authenticity, and the grace that comes with alignment. Together, we explore personal growth, navigating transition, trusting divine timing, and embracing the evolving versions of ourselves.

Alanah shares her journey through storytelling, self-discovery, and learning how to move with intention instead of pressure. This episode is a reminder that alignment may not always come with immediate clarity, but it often comes with peace.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncertain, or called into a new season of life, this conversation will encourage you to trust the process and give yourself grace along the way.

In this powerful episode, we dive into what it truly means to choose faith over validation. Joined by special guest Mrs. Trina, owner of faBRAlous Fits, we have an honest and inspiring conversation about trusting the vision God gave you—even when others don’t understand it.

Mrs. Trina shares her journey of building her brand with confidence, resilience, and unwavering belief, reminding us that external validation is not required when you are walking in purpose. This episode is for anyone learning to silence the noise, stand firm in their calling, and move boldly in faith.

Sometimes life doesn’t unfold the way we planned—and in those moments, we’re faced with a choice: remain where we are or find the courage to pivot.

In this episode, I open up about my personal journey of navigating change, trusting myself, and embracing a new direction. Through a guided conversation with a close friend who steps in as co-host, I’m asked thoughtful questions that allow for deeper reflection and honest conversation about what it truly means to let go, realign, and move forward with intention.

Pivoting isn’t always easy—it can feel uncomfortable, uncertain, and even isolating. But I’ve learned that there is power in choosing yourself, trusting the process, and allowing your path to evolve.

If you’re in a season of transition or feeling called to shift in your life, this episode is your reminder that your pivot has purpose—and your next chapter is still unfolding.

In this episode, we explore Wellness Is Wealth with Pilates instructor Eugene, diving into the importance of prioritizing your physical health as a form of long-term investment in yourself. As we age—especially as Black women—our approach to wellness becomes even more vital, not just for how we feel today, but for the quality of life we create for the future.

This conversation highlights the connection between movement, strength, and longevity, and how taking care of your body is just as essential as taking care of your finances. Eugene shares insight on building sustainable wellness habits, staying consistent, and embracing a lifestyle that supports both your body and your goals.

Because true wealth isn’t just financial—it’s the ability to move, live, and thrive in a body you care for.

Ownership is more than having something in your name—it’s about taking full responsibility for your vision, your voice, and your future. In this episode, I sit down with Najma, a dynamic entrepreneur, professor, and founder of Pink Walnut, a natural body bistro rooted in intention, wellness, and care.

We talk about what it really takes to build something that lasts, the power of starting and sustaining a business at any stage in life, and how faith, discipline, and alignment play a role in creating generational impact. Through her journey, Najma shares what it means to create a brand that not only serves people—but stands the test of time.

If you’ve been thinking about stepping into ownership—in your life, your finances, or your purpose—this episode is your reminder that it’s never too late to build something meaningful.
