"The Look of Work has Changed" Melissa Magsaysay on Redefining Brand Storytelling and Inclusivity in 2024‪!‬ Been Better... hbU?

I am so excited to bring you a special episode with my friend, the dynamic Melissa Magsaysay - who's made waves at the Hollywood Reporter and the Los Angeles Times while bringing Filipino issues to the forefront.
In this chat, we're diving into how women's roles at work have been changing. It's not just about traditional jobs anymore; we're talking CEOs, entrepreneurs, you name it.
Melissa walks us through her incredible journey as a writer in the fashion industry. She's the force behind Duster, a clothing line that's about blending her Filipino roots with stylish, practical outfits for everyday wear. It's her answer to how fashion is shifting in these post-pandemic times. She is also head of content at @thirteenlune, a one-stop shop for your black and brown-owned brands.
During this conversation, we get real about what it means for brands to have a genuine story or mission today.
It's 2023, and things are complex, especially when it comes to brands speaking up on social and political issues. Melissa shares her thoughts and experiences on navigating this tricky terrain with elegance and depth.
We ask the questions:
       •Have we become too sensitive or "too woke"?
       •Is it necessary for brands to weigh in on the latest news?
       •Does every brand need a mission in 2023?
Melissa is a woman who is redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur.
And I couldn’t be more excited for her!
