How Layra Marte Created a Healing Space Through Photography 19:23

منذ 11 يومًا19:23

19:23

For many of us, photography is reserved for milestones, but what if a portrait could help you reconnect with who you are right now? That’s the idea behind Layra Marz Photography, founded by Brooklyn-based photographer Layra Marte. Her work, which lives somewhere between boudoir and fine art, is about helping people, especially women and femmes of color, feel seen and celebrated. In this episode, Layra shares how photographing a global anti-bullying campaign helped her discover her creative voice, what it’s like to build a business without a blueprint, and why she’s more interested in telling honest stories than following anyone else’s rules.

How "Non-Corporate Girls" Is Changing the Career Conversation 22:55

منذ 8 weeks22:55

22:55

For years, the traditional career path has followed a familiar blueprint — get the degree, land the job, climb the ladder. But for many women, especially women of color, that path can feel limiting, exhausting, or simply misaligned with their values. In response, more and more women are choosing a different path — one that’s driven by purpose, flexibility, and self-determination. But that shift isn’t easy, especially without a roadmap. That’s why today’s guests built one from scratch. Ayanna Dutton-Diaz and Delaila Catalino started the “Non-Corporate Girls” podcast with a Google Doc and a shared frustration around toxic work environments. What began as a side project became a platform — now with over 100 episodes, a consulting arm, and a growing community of like-minded women. https://epicenter-nyc.com/building-a-blueprint-for-the-non-corporate-life/ https://www.noncorporategirls.com/ https://www.noncorporategirls.com/podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Moodie Vibes: The scents of self-care 17:40

منذ 9 weeks17:40

17:40

Candles have become a staple of self-care culture — especially in recent years as more people look for ways to slow down and decompress. For many, lighting a candle isn’t just about ambiance—it’s a daily ritual, a moment to reset, reflect, and create a sense of comfort at home. That was definitely true for Aminta Freeman, the founder of Moodie Vibes—a candle company she launched out of her Staten Island home during the pandemic. A Brooklyn native and daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, Aminta was looking for a way to manage the stress of a demanding job, single motherhood, and the uncertainty of the world around her. Blending scents started as a personal ritual, but soon turned into something much bigger. Today, I sit down with Aminta to learn more about how she built her business from the ground up, why she chose to focus on scent and mood, and how her cultural roots and life experiences continue to shape her brand. https://epicenter-nyc.com/moodie-vibes-the-scents-of-self-care/ https://moodievibes.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

How Nashira Arnó's love for craft forged a sustainable jewelry brand 20:28

منذ 10 weeks20:28

20:28

In a world of mass-produced, trend-chasing accessories, it can be hard to find pieces that truly resonate — pieces that honor both tradition and craftsmanship while minimizing environmental impact. Enter Dominican-born jewelry designer, Nashira Arnó. Nashira’s career began in the corporate fashion world, collaborating with industry giants like Macy’s and Oscar de la Renta. But a pull toward jewelry design led her to start a side project in 2016. This soon evolved into a fully realized brand, drawing inspiration from her Caribbean heritage, her grandmother’s seamstress background with Diane von Furstenberg, and her own travels. Now, she partners with family-owned collectives worldwide, working with 90% recycled materials and championing age-old techniques in her stunning, story-driven pieces. Today - I sit down with Nashira to learn more about how she’s redefining sustainable jewelry — one carefully crafted piece at a time. https://epicenter-nyc.com/nashira-arno-small-biz/ https://nashiraarno.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nashiraarnostudio/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

How Tammeca Rochester is Transforming Wellness for Women Over 40 18:53

منذ 12 weeks18:53

18:53

Turning 40 is a milestone, but for many women, it's also a moment of transition—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Between navigating career pivots, caring for both aging parents and growing children, and adjusting to changes in their own bodies, women in this stage of life are often left searching for guidance and community. That’s where Redefining Wellness: Fit Over 40 comes in. What started as a simple idea—bringing women together to openly discuss the realities of life after 40—has evolved into a movement. This multi-day event, co-created by two fitness professionals, is more than just about workouts. It’s about redefining what wellness truly means across every dimension—physical, emotional, financial, mental, and sexual well-being. Today, we hear from Tammeca Rochester, founder of Harlem Cycle and co-creator of this event. https://www.redefiningwellnessfitover40.com/ https://harlem-cycle.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Online harassment escalates as providers fail women & queer communities 19:36

منذ 13 weeks19:36

19:36

Online harassment doesn’t always stay online—sometimes it turns into real-life danger. It might begin with rude comments, but it can quickly escalate into doxing, threats, or targeted campaigns that threaten someone’s home, workplace, or even physical safety. For marginalized communities, this kind of harassment can be especially relentless, adding more layers of risk to what’s already a vulnerable situation. Still, there are ways we can push back – from stepping up our own security practices, to rallying community support when things feel unsafe. But how did we get to a point where these online platforms seem almost designed to amplify hate? And why do so many people, particularly those already at risk, end up as the primary targets? To understand how we got here—and what can be done—I sat down with Ari Waldman, a Professor of Law at the University of California, Irvine.

How one teen turned a family challenge into a bilingual book business 17:12

منذ 14 weeks17:12

17:12

This week is Reading Across America Week, a time to celebrate the power of books and the joy of reading. But for many kids growing up in bilingual households, reading can come with an extra challenge—balancing the language spoken at home with the one used at school. That’s something that hits close to home for Daniela Palacios. During the pandemic, while she and her younger brother were spending a lot more time with their family, she watched her brother struggle to understand some of their conversations in Spanish. Ultimately, she was inspired to create Para KIDS!, a media company that helps children embrace bilingualism through storytelling. Today, we sit down with Daniela to learn more about how her personal experiences shaped Para KIDS!, why bilingual storytelling matters, and what she’s learned along the way as a young entrepreneur and writer.

Dr. Ryan DeLapp on navigating cultural stress without disengaging 23:29

منذ 15 weeks23:29

23:29

When the world feels overwhelming—whether it's due to the constant stream of bad news, policies that target marginalized communities, or the weight of everyday stress—how do we stay grounded? How do we protect our peace without disengaging? Today, we're tackling these questions with someone who’s spent his career helping people navigate racial, ethnic, and cultural stress. Dr. Ryan DeLapp is a staff psychologist and the director of the Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Healing Program, known as REACH, at the Ross Center . He’s also the author of Empower Yourself Against Racial and Cultural Stress , a book designed to help young people—and really, all of us—build resilience and find agency in the face of adversity.
