In this season 13 opening episode, I speak to season 4 guests Helecia Williams about transitioning from a sporty-chic style, how the way she feels directly influences her wardrobe choices, the power of experimenting with unique, standout pieces, the challenges of fit and comfort, and why it’s okay to let go of pieces that just don’t work. We also discuss the quality of pieces from small Black-owned designers, why embracing individuality in style is more important than ever, a color trend she’s loving, why no one really cares about what you’re wearing, and much more.
