Calyann is a Florida-based wardrobe stylist and creative director who has worked with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment.

She shares the story of how she launched The Shop Miami, and discusses the challenges and rewards of being a Black female entrepreneur. She also shares the story of a life-changing trip to Mykonos, where she went from being a party animal to a designated driver. Caly details her decision to convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the impact it has had on her life.
