From The Bottom Up!™

I FINALLY got one of my truest bluest buddies and his super fly brothers on the show to chop it up about, well their foot game no less and without a doubt, their indelible fashion line Lavi-NYC. These brothers are so genuine and authentic; the love, respect and admiration they share for one another is inspiring and the patience, poise and passion they possess is unmatched. They share their path from point A to point now around their brand and I cannot wait to see how the world continues to receive them. Just remember who put you on and know that EYE was there from the beginning #insidejokes. Enjoy the show!

This conversation has been 3 years in the making! Thanks to a very good friend of mine - what up Bri - I have known of and become very cool with Dan P Lee, an up and coming stylist who is poised to take the world by storm. Trained by none other than Jason Rembert himself, Dan has an exceptional eye for fashion and, for himself fully owns his look. His FTBUP story is unique and his truly only just begun. The saga will continue for him, but remember where you heard about him first!

Guys, this episode was literally a labor of love. My trainer, Joe Morris, Owner and Founder of Rebellion Fitness found the time in his hectic schedule (including taking a break from yelling at me in the gym)to talk shoes and business. No matter how much we fight, hence the labor of love cause he grinds my damn gears, I genuinely love and appreciate his friendship and honestly he really is the best of the best in this fitness game. As always, sit back relax, and enjoy the show!

This was one of my most fun interviews to date! I sat down with LaKeisha, personal shopper, fashion extraordinaire and the beauty and brains behind one of the hottest IG platforms, Fashion Sherlock. We talked shoes, how hard it is to find larger sizes and how she plans to build in the future. I said it before and I'll say it again, It was FUN. Enjoy.

It's always a blessing when I get to sit down with childhood friends and chop it up. This episode features mi long time friend, Kendall - rapper, chef, business owner and now sneaker collaborator. Like what can't he do? As always sit back, relax, laugh a little and enjoy the audible ride with us. This is another banger!

I was gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off! And jump off I did do - the first guest of the season is none other than Marika B otherwise known as Br00klynbetty. MB and I have been innanet besties for a while now. I remember the first time I saw her fly self and thought, yea thats my type of fearless, fly chic chick! Ms. Br00klyn herself shares insight into her looks, how she has a hard time saying no, and what she would take with her if she were stranded on an island; y'all know this is my fav question. All that said, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

I really love when I get a chance to interview my friends. I chopped it up ZoomRona style with one of my nearest and dearest, makeup artists extraordinaire Alana Wright. Alana and those fingaz (we have an entire almost 2 min chat about her hands and feet)have worked makeup magic on the likes of Elaine Welteroth, Aurora James, ME; on campaigns for NIKE, MCM, L'Oreal, and SSENSE just to name a few. There's so much more to say, but just hit the play button! Enjoy.

Hola Mi Gente, I know its been a while, but I'm bizzack and I wanted to come with some heat. I had the honorable pleasure to have a conversation with Super Producer Amadeus. Let me share some stats, he's a MULTI-PLATINUM BAD BOY/HITMEN Producer, passed the DIDDY Stare Down Challenge, is the Musical Director and Drummer for Trey Songz, has a residency in Vegas at Drai's nightclub, and is a loving father and partner to his Queen. Reared in the Boogie Down, Amadeus drops lots of gems and for all of those interested in music he certainly lays down a blueprint for you to follow. Enjoy the listen and feel free to hop in my DM and let me know your thoughts! @ftbup7

Y'all #DaRona is really out here trying to stop 2020, but we ain't gone let it happen cappain'! I trekked it up to the studio with my face mask and gloves in tow to chop it up with up and coming Harlem rapper MK AKA Mr. 212, who has recently been signed to Max B's label EMG. It was a great reprieve from being stuck in the house and a lesson in just going with the flow. So with that sit back relax and enjoy the show!

This moment was a long time coming. First let me say, this is the prime example of social media doing some good. Me and my sole sister are literally two of a kind. I mean its rare to find someone whose shoe closet is almost identical to yours! Like no really, down to the exact color way of a particular style. Needless to say thats us and in true fashion my good girl J. Bailey is dropping some FTBUP gems on her shoe game and how she built her business. So sit back, kick ya feet up and enjoy!

I sat down with Walt, member of Black Ink Crew, Photographer, Businessman, Comedienne most importantly, soon to be husband to my good girl BIG ENERGY J Sparks(listen to her episode if you haven't its good ep#4. Shits FUNNY. Just listen. Be inspired and do great.

You guys. My friend is a celebrity. I sat down with Wayne aka Wayno aka Celebrity to get the scoop on how he built his career in music, started as a host for Everyday Struggle on Complex - and of course went through a rundown of his footwear collection and preferences. I was shell shocked y'all because my friend is a celebrity! He presented me with my first challenge without even realizing it, which is ensuring I stay sharp and step my game up. I mean he's a damn host of a show and I was interviewing him on my show like I'm still at a lost for words. I hope you enjoy! Welcome to 2020!

60 lessons learned over the past decade. Hope you learned something too! HAPPY MOTHERFRIGGIN NEW YEAR! 2020 ITS ON AND POPPIN!!!

I sat down with Mr. Harlem himself AKA Kells. He can also be described as a modern day renaissance man. Kells is a part of the infamous Harlem Haberdashery fam/clan. And just to be clear, they are a family who happen to be in business together - NOT a family business. He's an artists, a designer, serial entrepreneur, intelligent, FUNNY and a self-proclaimed lover of spirits (but not the kind you get in church). I think, no I KNOW y'all are going to enjoy this episode. So sit kick back, chill and tune-in.

This week it is just me, myself and I. Shooting the shit and talking smack. I flew through this cause I was prepping for my special guest you will have the pleasure of hearing next week. I kinda without knowing also dropped a bomb at the end of this episode that could give you an idea of what they're gonna be onto next and I totally forgot to mention the fact that BUJU has some new hot shit out. Dah well such is life. Enjoy!
