Meanwhile, She with Aisha Beau

Aisha Beau Frisbey

Meanwhile, She is a podcast hosted by Aisha Beau Frisbey, where conversations unfold from her own couch—honest, layered, and reflective of how women actually live. It feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on something real. Across conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us, the show explores what women choose, what they carry, and what it takes to stay connected to themselves. Some moments are reflective. Some are sharp. Some are unexpectedly funny—because the best conversations aren’t one-note. If you’ve ever found yourself in between who you were and who you’re becoming… you’ll feel at home here.

    Your Talent Alone Won't Get You There, with Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins

    We're taught that if we put in the work and the talent is there, the opportunities will come. Ashley is here to tell us about the other half of that equation — the one most people aren't honest enough to name. This week, Aisha sits down with her dear friend, sorority sister, and Howard alum Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins—actress (Dear White People), former host of OWN's Trials to Triumphs, and soon-to-be author—for an honest conversation about access, the doors that opened her career, and why she's so committed to opening those same doors for the women coming behind her. Ashley is clear: the work matters. Her talent is what's allowed her to play the long game and sustain a career that lasts. But she also names something most successful people won't: that there's a locked door between most talented people and the careers they're capable of building—and that door doesn't open without someone on the other side knowing your name.  They get into the friendship that landed her the Dear White People role, the Instagram Live moment that turned into her OWN podcast, the intensity of mothering her 20-month-old daughter Aspen, her IVF journey and why visibility matters for Black women navigating the same path, and the 365-devotional book she's quietly writing for the woman who wants to spot her blessings and become her best self. If you've been doing the work and wondering why the opportunities haven't come yet, this is the conversation for you. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Individuality in the Age of Algorithms, with Fashion Creator Tiffany Battle

    What does it actually take to stay yourself in an industry that rewards sameness? This week, Aisha sits down with Tiffany Battle — fashion creator, creative director, storyteller, and one of the original voices in fashion blogging — for a conversation about what it really takes to build a creative life on your own terms.  Before she launched The Werk! Place in 2012, Tiffany was a chemical engineer at a major semiconductor company. Six years in, she made the decision to leave stability behind, book a course at the London College of Fashion, and bet on herself fully. That leap is what shaped the distinct voice so many of us know her for today. In this episode, they get into the rise of the algorithm and the death of individuality, the lost regional style cultures of the 90s, the quiet luxury aesthetic creators are adopting to access luxury brands, why she's building her own show Sunday Stroll instead of chasing brand deals forever, the real talk on managers and money in the creator economy, and what it means to choose joy as resistance. Honest, sharp, and refreshingly direct — this one will have you rethinking how you show up online. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    People Are Afraid to Be Seen Trying, with Fashion Executive Tiffany Reid

    Fashion used to be built behind the scenes. Before influencers, before front row became content, there were editors pulling all-nighters, sleeping under desks, forecasting trends, and shaping culture long before social media existed. This week, I’m joined by Tiffany Reid — fashion executive, stylist, former SVP of Fashion at Bustle Digital Group, and one of the most respected voices in fashion media.  We talk about what it was really like coming up in the magazine era as Black women, the hazing culture of fashion, how the industry has changed since the rise of influencers, why editors were originally the tastemakers, and what gets lost when everything becomes fast content. We also discuss ambition, leadership, survival, motherhood, identity, and the kind of work ethic that builds lasting careers. And somehow through all of it… we laugh a lot too. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.
