Dallas is having a moment ā and Iām here for it. But as the brand activations roll in, I couldnāt help but notice so many incredible Black women creators are still flying under the radar.
So as a gift to my fellow advertisers and marketers I pulled together a list of my personal faves across beauty, lifestyle, fashion, and strategy ā women who are ready to show up and show out.
I know there are SO many more doing amazing work. Tag your favorites so I can add them to the official Bodega List ā because the room gets better when weāre all in it. š¤

BIG DALLAS (tuh)
I had no idea how the first Bodega List would be received but I couldnāt be happier to make a couple Dallas sized waves.
After 90K+ views (and counting), tons of shares, and even convos with brand leaders who admitted Dallas hasnāt always been on their radar ā I knew we were onto something. Several told me directly they were grateful to have a quick reference list of real, relatable, talented creators!
So this time around, weāre kicking things off with the fellas ā the ones who not only kill it in the fashion department, but are also doing phenomenal storytelling. Itās giving #metgala but with a southern twist.
