    We can never deny that the style, swag, and extra seasoning we bring elevates everything we do to luxury status. In this episode, we're breaking down the concept of luxury and what it means for us. Our dollars have power and our style transcends the culture, yet we still lack the equity we deserve in the luxury industry. How is it that “Black Luxury” is still undefined and why doesn't luxury seem to love us back?? And really – what does luxury even mean: is it logos from head to toe, a trip to the Maldives, or just some time with the crew, ourselves, and our favorite Black-owned products. Let's discuss. Then, we have a chat with fashion icon and boss, Elaine Welteroth, who gives us her stance on fashion, Black luxury, shifting priorities, and the best wheels for auntie season.
