Today Zuri is joined by Meena Harris — Founder and CEO of Phenomenal, and the NYT Bestselling author of “Ambitious Girl” and “Kamala and Maya's Big Idea.” Meena dishes on her favorite Netflix shows to binge, how she’s redefining gender roles with her partner Nic Ajagu, and what was going through her head during the 2021 Biden/Harris inauguration. She even shares a recipe inspired by her aunt, THEE Madame Vice President herself, Kamala Harris.

 

Plus, Meena takes us on the journey of how she was able to pivot as a corporate lawyer, to combine her passion for art and social impact to disrupt the status quo. And she opens up about why ambition isn’t a dirty word, but instead that it means courage and living your purpose. Let us know your favorite part of the convo: @ZuriHall + @HotHappyMess.
