Yaani King Mondschein is a well established actor and a hidden gem in the industry! What a pleasure to have a conversation that reveals the incredible strengths that are her real talent; the constant in her ever-evolving career.

Today, Melody and Julie sit together for a special episode. They unpack how we often leave our decisions up to the divine, believing it will make the right choice for us, and what may be in store when we choose our own path.

On this episode, we are joined by our good friend Jon Gray. Jon is a co-founder of the Bronx based collective http://ghettogastro.com/ (Ghetto Gastro). If you've ever seen or experienced one of their food presentations, it's literally like art. After his tumultuous upbringing, Jon found a calling in fashion and combined food with art and design. His collective of Ghetto Gastro with his partners have created many tables big enough for everyone to sit at, encouraging and cultivating conversations about inclusion, race, and economic empowerment — traveling the world, taking the Bronx to the world, and introducing the world to the Bronx. In this episode Jon talks a little bit about his why. We hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, our guest Keri Shahidi is in conversation with us about her family upbringing and how it shaped her foundation for paying it forward in life. We were really inspired by Keri's refined business acumen that centers people over profit. Whether it's in her role as a film/tv producer or as a mom — it makes no difference, she is continually finding creative ways to create a bigger table and make every project meaningful.

On today's episode, we are joined by Angelo Baque. Angelo is the creative director of the clothing brand Awake NY and founder of Baque Creative, a boutique creative agency. We talk about how our beliefs shape our reality, finding inner peace, and the journey of finding tools and resources to help us move forward in this journey called life.
