Episode description as stored
Emma sits down with Kimora Lee – fashion icon, entrepreneur, and founder — to talk about building one of the most influential brands in fashion and the lessons she learned about power, ownership, and knowing her worth.
Kimora helped build Baby Phat into a cultural phenomenon, but behind the success were hard truths about being in rooms, contributing at the highest level, and still not getting what she was owed. Over time, she learned how to navigate deals, advocate for herself, and stop accepting less than she deserved.
Now she has Baby Phat back and this time, it's hers.
Kimora shares:
Why being in the room didn't always mean having power
The hard lessons she learned about money, deals and ownership
What she wishes she'd known before she signed anything
How she learned to stop settling and start advocating for herself
Why getting Baby Phat back means more now than it did the first time.
