In this episode of the #CareFreeBlackGirl Podcast, producer Quanna joins co-hosts Phoenix Luxe and Leslie for a fun chat on all things fashion and self-expression. With New York Fashion Week just wrapping up, they spotlight Black designers like LaQuan Smith and Hanifa while giving their take on 90s nostalgia — what’s fresh and what’s overdone.

The crew also plays a round of “Hot or Not,” weighing in on Shannon Sharpe’s Instagram live debacle, Beyoncé’s CMA snub, and the Tyla/VMAs drama. We also get real about mental health and the power of advocating for yourself, especially as a Black woman. Grab your headphones and join the convo — it’s all about fashion, culture, and taking care of yourself!
