Season 2 / Ep. 08: Alien Superstar
In this episode, Alison is joined by two former colleagues. Women who have shaped both her both professionally and personally: Jackie Velasquez-Ross, a recruiting leader and talent strategist who has built design and research teams at Meta, InVision, Twitter and Tiny, and Dominique Ward, a design leader and systems thinker. Together they move through Beyoncé's work, from Self-Titled to Cowboy Carter, as a way of talking about leadership — what it looks like to evolve in public, claim your own voice, and share power back.
The conversation turns toward the work of becoming. Not just professionally, but over a lifetime. What happens when you stop performing for permission. How you heal without shrinking, and why joy might be a responsibility. And what changes when you refuse to be categorized.
Rooted in Sentido's Epilogue, on what it means to arrive, release and begin again. The final episode of Season 2.
