What does it mean to build a life you never saw modeled growing up?

Asia Milia Ware, beauty editor at The Cut, joins Aisha Beau Frisbey for a deeply personal conversation about ambition, beauty, relationships, and becoming the woman she once could only imagine. From growing up in Queens to building a career in fashion and beauty media, Asia reflects on the role of family, mentorship, hard work, and finding her own voice.

Together, they explore the difference between how success looks from the outside and how it feels to live it; the evolving relationship between beauty and self-worth; social media and self-perception; and what it means to prepare for marriage while creating a different blueprint for your future. Asia also shares what her mother's sacrifices mean to her and why opening doors for the next generation matters.

This is a conversation about expanding what's possible without losing sight of where you began.
