How do you build the career you actually want—inside an industry that was not exactly built for you—without softening who you are to fit inside it? Chee Smalls has spent fifteen years answering that question. She is Senior Director of Product Development at Coach, a style voice, and a content creator. She is also a Harlem girl who has never—not once, not in a single meeting, not in a single boardroom—code-switched a day of her career.That refusal is the whole conversation.In this episode, we get into how she got into fashion without the resume the industry usually demands, and how curiosity became her actual professional currency. We talk about the moments when she could have softened her voice to fit a room and didn't, and what that cost her at first, and what it eventually earned her. Her personal philosophy on luxury and why she refuses to follow trends—including the very sharp question she asks about whether the algorithm is quietly killing our individuality. The features she was insecure about for years and what changed when she stopped shrinking from them. Her marriage as a real partnership—the "we take turns climbing" model she and her husband built, where one goes head-down while the other holds it together, then they switch. And how she is thinking about ambition, identity, and the life she is building on her own terms.She closes the episode with an "I am" affirmation you'll want to write down: "I am beauty. I am woman. I am ambition. I am God's favored and blessed. I am me."This is also the first episode with our new behind-the-scenes intro. We shot Chee arriving at the door, the two of us mixing a rosé lemonade in my kitchen, and the moment before we settled onto the couch. The full recipe is below, make it while you listen:   Meanwhile, She Rosé LemonadeMakes 4 cocktails (about 5 oz each)Ingredients1 bottle (750 mL) chilled rosé (The Beach Ros√©)1/2 cup (4 oz) freshly squeezed lemon juice2 oz Grand Marnier1 1/2 oz simple syrup1 oz agave nectarIce Optional GarnishesLemon wheelsFresh mintEdible rose petals (if you're feeling fancy)Frozen raspberries or strawberries InstructionsIn a pitcher, combine the lemon juice, Grand Marnier, simple syrup, and agave.

Tenicka Boyd was 21 years old and a new mother when she took a job working for President Obama. Nineteen years later, her daughter is a college junior living in Japan, Tenicka is a fashion voice, former ACLU staffer, and one of the most self-possessed women I've had on the couch. She is also refreshingly honest about the parts of her story most women tuck away.In this episode, we get into the conversation Tenicka is best known for online—the honest one about money and motherhood. What it means to enter motherhood with resources, and what it costs when you don't. Why "living for your kids" is not the compliment we've been told it is. Why she believes we're not owed motherhood, and what it looks like to choose it with your eyes wide open.From there we get into her reflection on early motherhood and the loneliness of being out of sync with the girlfriends who are now having their first child, the leap from a full-time career in politics to content creation—when she eclipsed her ACLU salary in one quarter—and why she refuses to work a sixty-hour week for herself. We talk about the uniformity that's crept into creator culture, the political history of fashion, and why she wants us to expand the definition of luxury beyond European heritage houses. She names the African, Caribbean, and diaspora designers currently defining her closet—from Hertunba to FeNoel to Tongoro to Desiree Iyama.And then we get into decadence as refusal. Refusal of shrinking, of quiet luxury culture, of the mad dash to 40. Refusal of the small life the world has convinced women to accept.This is a conversation about what it looks like to give yourself permission to live a life your ancestors couldn't have imagined for you.Her affirmation this week: "I am my great, great-grandmother's wildest dream." Cheers to that.

It's women's history month! So, I am profiling black women making a difference in their careers. In this episode, I sit down with Miia Torrera, the creator of Miiato Comics.  After over a decade of practicing corporate litigation, she bravely decided to pursue her dream of writing, and thus the ISA comic book series was born. She is the first Black female children's comic book author. Her stories are fun, age-appropriate, and most importantly features characters of color.

Join us for an exclusive discussion inspired by women in leadership positions who hail from diasporic states; whether first generation Canadian or long-standing Immigrants. These women collectively, although in different fields, have occupied spaces which have traditionally been occupied by men. What are their stories? This is an intergenerational conversation that explores issues that racialized women experience, how their diaspora has influenced their leadership style, and how they have been able to cope with these paradigms. These women have forged incredible paths for themselves; we talk about the tools they've equipped themselves with to navigate and be successful within their respective spaces.Don't forget to rate or leave a review on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast app. Stay up to date with The Lunar Podcast by following Rhiannon, The Lunar Club & Conscious Economics on Instagram.
