Bias Bender

This week we are talking about the life and legacy of Coretta Scott King. As Martin Luther King Jr. Day is coming up, I thought it was definitely time I learn more about Coretta and her own dedication to equality.

This week we are talking about the life and career of a woman who created so many iconic looks. Her name is Zelda Wynn Valdes, and I think you're going to want to know about all the cool things she did to make Black women feel their best!
We are also joined by the lovely Olivia Anthony (@liv4olivia)! She is a fashion designer and CEO of her very own streetwear brand, LIV Streetwear. I loved getting to hear more about her journey so far, and I think you're going to enjoy how she is carving out her own space in the fashion industry today.
