The episode itself is full of pop, pizzaz, and a point of view you can only gain from conversing with three luxury fashion entrepreneurs. In the episode, hosts [Fredia](https://www.instagram.com/yesfredia/) and [Jena](https://www.instagram.com/jena_dominique/) sat at the feet of Christopher John Rogers, Sherri McMullen, and Tamu McPherson to discuss inspiration, starting their companies, and their first "mom, I made it" moments. Their conversation is laced with stories about each founders' humble introductions to the fashion industry, the evolution of the Christopher John Rogers eponymous line, and why Oakland has become a luxury fashion destination.
