Vanessa Coppes Episode S01 EPS 189

As one of only five Latina women in the U.S. to helm an international magazine, BELLA Editor In Chief Vanessa Coppes, brings the full depth of her diverse background as an immigrant to running her magazine as well as her media company. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, at the age of 13 Coppes had a clear vision of working in the magazine business in New York City, but pursued the more predictable path of becoming a teacher. After graduating college and attending design school there, she taught for several years and loved it, but knew her future held more.

Jamie Haiden S01 EPS 188

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Jamie Haiden. Jamie Haiden is the founder/owner of Archipelago Swim. Archipelago was started in 2010 when I began making swimsuits for my friends who couldn’t find the right fit in swimwear off the racks and just wanted something unique. I'd already been sewing for several years, but it was just one of a dozen art forms I was pursuing. I became uniquely attracted to the swimwear industry for the simple fact that I love the beach!  I registered the business in 2011 and began taking proper drafting and sewing lessons at George Brown College.. In this episode we discuss learning curves, environmental sustainability, art & fashion, green washing, consciously aware consumers, ethical production and the garment industry.

Tollisha Joseph S01 EPS 180

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Tollisha Joseph. Tollisha is the owner/founder of The Official Glue and the host of smallTALK and also a network strategist. I can recall the moment I became clear on what I wanted to accomplish in life, but the road of which I would take to achieve it was quite foggy. My first moment of clarity came when I suffered the devastating loss of my mother back in 2016. I was working as a server/ bartender/ hostess at a restaurant. I needed to take time off because my mother had been hospitalized for a simple cold and her health took a turn overnight it seemed. The feeling of having to choose between providing for my family and being there for my mother was totally destroying me. I remember having to balance the stresses of work and family for the entire time my mother was fighting for her life. Somehow I managed to work through the actual unknown, but once the reality set in that my mother was dying I knew I was going to have to make a change. In this episode we discuss opportunity, struggle, the idea that pain pushes purpose, networking strategy, social media, community and the C.A.R.E acronym.
