The Met Gala just declared "Fashion is Art," but in Dallas, three entrepreneurs have been living that truth long before the red carpet rolled out.

This week on Making Black History Today, hosts Liz & Porter sit down with Cubby the Creator, a custom fashion designer and owner of Untamed Heart and Watch for Smiling Faces and Jasmine & Devon Carter of Balacia, whose custom fine jewelry has graced the Golden Globe Awards and the NAACP Awards.

These aren't just entrepreneurs. They are artists whose work has already made it to some of the biggest stages in the world and they're just getting started.

This conversation goes beyond business. It's about identity, culture, creativity, and what it actually takes to build a legacy while you're still writing the story.

In this episode:

• How Cubby the Creator built a custom fashion brand rooted in culture and storytelling

• The story behind Untamed Heart and Watch for Smiling Faces

• How Balacia's custom fine jewelry made it to the Golden Globes and NAACP Awards red carpets

• What it takes to build a luxury brand from Dallas to the world stage

• Navigating business, creative partnership, and personal relationships

• What legacy looks like when you're still in the middle of building it

Whether you're a fashion lover, a jewelry enthusiast, an entrepreneur, a creative, or someone who believes the most powerful things being built today aren't on a runway, this episode is for you.
