A Cut Above Recap: Our Latest Guests
We’ve had some incredible conversations on A Cut Above lately, each guest bringing their own perspective on success, creativity, and what it means to stand out in their world. Here’s a look back at some of the inspiring women who joined us and shared their stories.
RAW
Content creator (@techgirldiary) and product manager at a FinTech in NYC, Zoya splits her time between New York and Vancouver while balancing life as both a creator and a professional. Her advice for managing both worlds? “You have rubber balls and glass balls, don’t drop your glass balls, the rubber ones will bounce back.”
Zoya loves working in tech as a woman, finding it empowering to mentor others and speak up for herself. Though she might seem polished from the outside, she considers herself much more raw.
RAW
A brand strategy and communications consultant, jewelry journalist, and founder of a new homeware and design platform, Atola Papers, Radhika is a multi-hyphenate with a distinct eye for style. Jewelry is her everyday uniform, she never leaves home without her rings and layered necklaces. If she could bring back any trend? Friendship bracelets, but elevated into fine jewelry. Right now, what feels “a cut above” in her world is London itself, for its charm and people. Unapologetically raw and unfiltered, Radhika embraces authenticity above all.
RAW
Based in Montreal, Anso runs a marketing agency serving clients across fashion, hospitality, art, and more. She’s also recently launched Staff Room Talks, a new media platform sharing insider takes on marketing news. A watch she gifted herself after her first year in business is her go-to polished piece, but in personality, she’s more raw: candid, impulsive, and unafraid to say exactly what’s on her mind.
Carla Davis
A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH
Known as the “fashion girly who ended up in local politics,” Carla blends style and substance as an influencer focused on NYC and state politics. Her work is fueled by a deep passion for social justice, with a mission to make political content engaging, accessible, and relevant. She describes herself as living at the intersection of raw and polished, someone who thrives on intuition but balances it with thoughtful planning.
Closing Thoughts
From fintech to fashion, politics to marketing, our latest guests prove there’s no single path to success. What unites them is their honesty, passion, and ability to balance being both raw and polished in their own unique ways. Each of these women is a cut above in her own way, whether through authenticity, creativity, passion, or purpose, reminding us that there’s no single definition of success.
