Episode notes
Before she was everyone’s favorite on The Real Housewives of New York, Jessel Taank was already a force in the fashion world as an all-star publicist, global nomad, and barrier breaker. In this episode, Akbar gets real with Jessel on her path from London to NYC's fashion scene, how she landed RHONY (without ever seeing the show) and her creation of ŌUSHQ, a platform to uplift South Asian fashion and artisans.
