In this episode, I talk to Angel (@angel_edme) about her eclectic, mood-driven style, finding inspiration everywhere from New York City street style to menswear, art, flowers, and other cultures. We chat about matching sets (she reminded me that I need a set or two), colorful prints, sustainability and rewearing clothes, and what it means for Black women to confidently express themselves through personal style. Angel also shares why you don't have to wait for confidence before trying something new…you can build confidence by simply taking the first step.

In this episode I converse with creative director and style enthusiast Hannah Griffin (@humblehearthann) about personal style, confidence, creativity, and why Black women have always had a heritage of putting it on. From childhood fashion experiments with comforters-as-couture to styling coworkers for vacation and building a wardrobe rooted in individuality, Hannah shares her journey of embracing style as a form of self-expression.

The conversation explores everything from thrifting and travel-inspired fashion to dating as an introvert with bold style, navigating getting dressed, as a tall woman, the freedom of showing up authentically in every room, and so much more.
