This week I’m excited to be talking with Monique Valeris, the Senior Home Editor at Good Housekeeping magazine.  Monique is a highly experienced writer and editor who has covered lifestyle topics ranging from beauty to home decorating. During our interview Monique and I talk about how to be successful in the interior design industry as a Black woman, and getting comfortable as the only one in the room.  We also discuss what's trending this summer for Good Housekeeping, and what are some tips and tricks you can get right now as a first time home buyer.  Be sure to check out the shoppable mood board of our conversation at angelabelt.com.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angela-belt5/support
