Join us for a walk and talk through Central Park with the fabulous Lu Sierra. We reflect on the changes we’ve seen in the world of pageantry and talk about our unforgettable memories from New York Fashion Week. As a master of posing, Lu offers invaluable tips for businesswomen on how to present themselves confidently in any room, from boardrooms to networking events.

Today we explore how defining your style can attract new opportunities and open doors. I talk about the importance of having a conversation starter on your body—whether it’s a bold accessory or standout clothing piece that sparks interest and connections. By embracing your unique image, you’re not just making a fashion statement but also building meaningful relationships through your style.

I’m taking you back to the very beginning of my pageant journey in this powerful replay of my appearance on Moving Through and Beyond, hosted by Carey Conley. But as with any big dream, it wasn’t always a smooth ride. We get real about facing rejection and how I learned to persevere, even when the odds were stacked against me. Along the way, I discovered my big “why”—the driving force behind everything I do.
