    Replay! Welcome to the Table: You Can Always Do it A Different Way

    My guest today is Pamela Bell, a mother, teacher, advocate, fashion activist and fearless feminist who joins us to discuss how she's managed to wear a thousand different hats in her one incredible lifetime while doing good for the world. She has done SO MUCH, but you'll have to listen in on our conversation to discover everything that Pamela has done with her creative power - she believes we are all more than a list of our professional achievements.  Our discussion goes deep - we dive into how fashion and creativity can support entire ecosystems of people traditionally overlooked by larger industries. She talks about finding supporters early on, letting creativity appear and surprise you no matter where you are in your life, and supporting the causes you believe in. Pamela shares her advice for figuring out what your causes are and how to begin your own advocacy, both for yourself and for others. Something I'm taking away from today? Running into NO is an opportunity to ask what else is possible. What's sticking with you? xxJo Find Pamela on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/pamelabellcollageworks/?hl=enFind her art at https://pamelabellcollageworks.com/Find prinkshop at https://prinkshop.com/Her recommendation to stay on top of women's news: https://jessica.substack.com/Organizations prinkshop supports:Seeds of Peace Autism Speaks Special Olympics National Institute for Reproductive Health Crisis Text Line Girl Up Kiva Every Mother Counts Planned Parenthood Everytown for Gun Safety She Should Run Eat My Words Instagram: Eat My Words TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eatmywordsthepodcast?lang=en  Eat My Words Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@EatMyWordsthePodcastEat My Words Website: https://www.eatmywordsthepodcast.com

    Replay: Welcome to the Table: Don't Be the One Saying No to Yourself

    We are beyond thrilled to have Danielle Prescod joining the table today! Author of The Rules of Fortune and Token Black Girl, Danielle is a fifteen-year veteran of the beauty industry and cofounder of 2BG Consulting, which aids fashion and beauty brands and influencers on their anti-racism journeys. Danielle and I dive right in to their experiences with the fashion world and let us in on just how accurate The Devil Wears Prada really was. We talk about finding the energy and motivation to accomplish creative goals, letting someone else say no rather than being the one saying it to yourself, and the importance of fitting important things into our busy lives. Throughout our discussion, Danielle also shares about her belief in attention as currency, the invisible surveillance that keeps us locked in old patterns, reclaiming her time, and the intricacies of self care - is a face mask ever enough? The conversation flowed, and I hope you'll enjoy listening - let me know if you do! xxJohanna You can find Danielle on her website http://www.danielleprescod.com/On instagram https://www.instagram.com/danielleprescod/Token Black Girl here: https://www.amazon.com/Token-Black-Girl-Danielle-Prescod/dp/1542035163The Rules of Fortune here: https://www.amazon.com/Rules-Fortune-Novel-Danielle-Prescod/dp/166252014X Eat My Words Instagram: Eat My Words TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eatmywordsthepodcast?lang=en  Eat My Words Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@EatMyWordsthePodcastEat My Words Website: https://www.eatmywordsthepodcast.com

She shares her experience launching a brand with three children under the age of 10, how she balances motherhood with the demands of entrepreneurship, and learning how to delegate.
