I’m so stoked to welcome Elizabeth Barajas to share her take on a “Survivalist’s Guide to Fashion.” Back in the days when we were single and childless, Elizabeth and I would romp around Florida beaches and down Orange Street with the latest outfit we could squeeze on in our price range. Today Liz and I are both lawyers and both busy mothers living totally different lives with similar survival techniques. The vibe in Denver, Colorado, Liz’s current stomping ground, is often chill and laid back. With Liz’s busy and beautiful life, I wanted to hear her tips for getting through her week as an Assistant District Attorney, a mom, and what practical fashion tips she had to give when prioritizing comfort, versatility, and being a new mom. From our wild single times to the jungle that is motherhood, Elizabeth has confidently shown her ability to not only survive in any environment, but to thrive and look good while doing it. Enjoy!

Welcome Rana Najib to takeover this Tuesday! Rana is a strong, working mother who has translated her 15 years of customer service and management experience to give outstanding client services as a Real Estate Agent with Fidelity Real Estate Brokers. For the short time I’ve known Rana, she’s truly been such a positive and generous person going that extra mile to make someone’s day or to give detailed information that could make a difference when it comes to decision making when it comes to real estate purchases. As a native Texan, Rana shows that her attention to detail does not just come from her work ethic which you can follow at @RealEstateWithRana, but also in her style which is always on point. I’m excited to have her share some of her tricks of the trade with us this Tuesday.

I’m proud to welcome Abby Broyles to take over this Tuesday. Many of us know her as a young politician who ran a competitive campaign for State Senate last year, but I also know her as a lawyer, a former reporter, and now as a friend. As a colleague, I most admire her confidence, tenacity, and her willingness to find solutions for working Oklahomans particularly in her new endeavor to protect voting rights and encourage new voters with “Grit for Democracy.” As a friend, I admire her loyalty, humility, positivity, and purpose-driven life. As a fashionista, whether it’s on-air as a reporter or appearing as a politician, she’s always camera-ready and has given me a few tips when I’ve needed to present well on camera. This Tuesday, we all get some fashion-forward pointers from the incomparable and resolute Abby Broyles.

Maz Mavens let me introduce you to the effervescent and elegant Monica Ybarra. I am lucky enough to have served on the OCU Law Alumni Association board with her as President for a couple of years and been able to witness her charisma, leadership ability, and style. Monica is a lawyer by profession—In house counsel at TBS Factoring Service, LLC, but among her peers she is most well-known for her ability to connect, her authenticity, her hard work ethic, and her ability to bring sunshine to the space she enters. She has a true sense of self in a way that exudes confidence, but not vanity. She loves to lift others up and does it with grace. When she’s not roaming around obscure parts of Oklahoma and Santa Fe with her fiancé, you’ll find she takes pride in representing the Latinx community in anyway she can. In fact, I often see hints of Latin representation in her unique, yet classic style that I describe as powerfully feminine. With that, it’s my pleasure to get some fashion ques from the always on point Monica Ybarra.
