You may know Trae Bodge from her more than 1,000 television appearances as an intelligent shopping expert. But, Trae has deep roots in beauty. You can say that she was practically born into the business because her mother owned a shop in her small Massachusetts town where they sold creams, soaps, and other products. Trae initially wanted to be an artist but found a way to use those talents in beauty with a custom-blending company called Visage Beaute. She initially started working for the brand in Massachusetts and later moved to the counter at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. When the brand was sold to Revlon, Trae actively campaigned for a job at Kiehl's, then privately owned. As part of a collaborative team at their 3rd Avenue store in NYC, she created a position overseeing their catalog sales. While there, she banded her savings together with a former colleague at Visage and another friend to form Three Custom Color. They not only custom-blended shades, but they also recreated shopper's favorite discontinued shades in their NYC retail store/lab. After leaving that business, Trae thought she would end up at a big cosmetic company in product development or another role, but wearing too many hats made her hard to place, so she stuck out on her own and began writing more. She landed her first corporate job at RetailMeNot and began doing television appearances, which morphed into a new career. After being laid off, Trae started making appearances on behalf of several clients. She's noticed an uptick in bookings since the social reckoning and sees that as a good thing, and has also adjusted to doing segments in her home. But doing television isn't easy; Trae shares the secrets to booing and delivering segments, and here's a hint, there's no such thing as winging it! Because she knows that others interested in television could benefit from her expertise, she has partnered with a colleague on One Take Media. And best of all, Trae shares five tips on perfecting your pivot. Check out all of this and more on this episode. And Follow Trae Bodge on all social platforms @truetrae!

Monae Everett initially became a hairstylist because she didn't believe in being broke in college. But afterward, she set her sights on becoming a celebrity hairstylist before she understood what would be required of her. Once she discovered that she needed to learn more about hair and the industry, she secured a salon at a chain salon in Virginia, where she mastered the art of doing every hair texture. Later she moved to another salon where she became its manager. Along the way, she also became a hair color educator. But Monae still had her eye on being a celebrity hairstylist. She spent her days off doing test shoots and small jobs to develop her on set skills and portfolio. When she got laid off, she took that as a signal to move to New York City and never looked back. She has not only achieved her dream of working with celebrities but also realized that there were so many people who wanted to do the same. So she decided to create a course and later pen a book, "Get Out of Your Own Way: 25 Tips for Booking Celebrity Clients." Learn about the skills she looks for in other hair pros when she is assembling a team, why communication is a critical component, and why ending on time is paramount when working when celebrities and so much more on this week's episode.
On this episode, I chat with the amazing Tia Williams, the only other Black woman to be a staffer in Elle magazine's beauty department in its early years. We discuss the massive collection of magazines she started at age nine, her obsession with Kevyn Aucoin and other legendary makeup artists, and how she'd obsess over makeup in the drug store. We talk about how she landed positions at some of the most prestigious print magazines, started one of the first successful beauty blogs for Black women, Shake Your Beauty, and her transition to a more corporate role and the learning curve involved in that. Tia is more than a beauty editor, she's also a novelist and we'll discuss what she's learned about being an author. And how excited she is about actress Gabrielle Union turning her 2016 novel, "The Perfect Find" into a Netflix film. And we've got more to look forward to with her next book due out in 2021. Learn all of this and more.
The ladies took their talents back to zoom to discuss Jada Pinkett Smith's revelation about her marriage, supporting black creatives even if their work is subpar and getting flewed out without a way back home. And, last week's episode of the show "Insecure" prompted the ladies to break down what does it means to "build up" a man vs enabling him. They also shared if they ever experienced their ex's glow-up with the next woman.Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe!Follow us!Twitter: @thateampodFacebook: ThaTeam Podcast (Facebook Group: ThaHuddle)Instagram: @thateampodcast
