Episode 297 – You Are Too Fat and Young to Work in a Salon

In this episode of Ms. V The Storyteller Podcast, I share a personal and eye-opening story about the time I was told I was “too fat and too young” to work in a beauty salon. What was supposed to be an exciting opportunity quickly turned into a moment of rejection and judgment based on my appearance and age. I open up about how those words stung, the lessons I learned about self-worth, and why it’s so important to never let someone else’s opinion define your potential. This episode is for anyone who’s ever been underestimated or unfairly judged — and needs a reminder that your value isn’t up for debate.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
