The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Welcome to Balance Black Girl.

Oh, hi. Thank you so much for having me.

I mean, this episode has been kind of a long time coming because behind the scenes,

we've been chatting about having you come on the show for a while.

And so I'm so glad that we're finally getting to do it.

I'm so excited to finally be here.

Oh, so we were just talking about you spending some time back in New York and some of the

differences between New York and L.A. where you live now in L.A. versus being back in New York,

which is home where you're from and like that spontaneity,

I mean, you just don't have that in L.A. because of the constant planning and organizing

that you need to do in terms of your day

and even like you live out of your car so much versus, you know, here you can jump in the subway

in New York City and get back to your apartment, do a quick change and then hit the streets again.

Exactly. That's literally like my day today. I was in Williamsburg, co-working with a friend this morning. And then I was like, okay, let me head back to the city. Let me get to the studio. And then after this, I'm going to go back to Brooklyn and then back up to the city. It's like, you can just bop around. It's so easy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm super excited to have you on the podcast. There's so many things I'm really excited to chat with you about,

first and foremost, being something super exciting is that you have put in so much work to

create this incredible beauty brand made that you have put years and hours and labor of love

into that launched this fall. Congratulations. Thank you so very much. Thank you so much. A true

labor of love, a birth to another child. Yes. Pretty much. But yeah, I'm very excited to finally
