Myleik Teele is the founder and Chief Experience Officer at curlBOX, a monthly subscription service that changed the way women buy and discover products for their curly hair needs. She is also the host of the #MyTaughtYou podcast where she provides invaluable career and business advice to thousands of women. 

On this episode, I caught up with Myleik, whom I first interviewed in 2012 a few months after she launched curlBOX, to talk about some of the things she said during that interview and to learn more about the lessons she's learned as a serial entrepreneur about scaling a business and building a dream team.

#29 'Cheat Codes'

Ooo friends you are in for a treat this week! Our Soviet bae, Grace, has left the Motherland but not without getting our girl Amina on the podcast first. 

As the daughter of a Nigerian father and a Siberian mother, Amina tells us about what it’s like to grow up as a mixed-raced person in Russia and her experiences abroad. 

We compare war stories and come to the conclusion that black people are not a monolith and the so-called ‘black experience’ is not homogenous. Huh, who’d thought?

We also delve into cultural beauty standards and plastic surgery. 

Tune in. It’s a good one.

Episode 22: Afro-Russian: Being Black in Russia

No Shade is a podcast by three women trying to navigate the minefield of social constructs and identity politics that regularly go unchecked. We take a look at pop culture and discuss its wider socio-political implications and meaning. From Brexit to the latest Kardashian nudes- everything is political and holds cultural significance. 

Sassy, sarcastic and very unbothered- we scrutinise the zeitgeist, shift through the BS and call out the privilege. Expect conversations on race, feminism, LGBT rights, and Beyonce (because we stay in formation). What essentially started as tipsy tirades and tea-spilling between friends has developed into a forum for meaningful discussion. It’s your typical girlfriend chat, only woke AF.
