Drawing on more than a decade of journalism and interviewing experience, Tashara brings her signature warmth, preparation and unapologetic honesty to every conversation. From cultural news and social issues to leadership, entrepreneurship, personal transformation and the stories behind the people making an impact, each episode is designed to leave audiences more informed, more inspired and thinking a little deeper.
