Cat. B (RetroBarbie) is a Queens, NY native multifaceted Creative with an Artistry in Authentic Storytelling. She is a Curator of Conversation and Libations, and most importantly to her, an Agent of Change. 

Professionally, Cat. B is a Brand and Project Manager, as well as an Events and Content Curator. With her background in Small Business Operations and Corporate Account Management she has decided to take her talents to focus on building the Brands of Black Creative Talent as well as Black Owned Businesses with unconventional strategic approach. She enjoys and takes pride in creating new experiences, and visions into reality. Dreams aren’t just made for dreaming.  

Additionally, she is the founder of #BlackMenCryToo. Growing up misunderstood and not being fully allowed to express, process or understand self, she found a connection to Black Men. This birthed the creation of #BlackMenCryToo , an invitation to men of color to feel safe to unpack their truth and share their hurt. This space was created to encourage Black Men to know, that it is okay, to cry too and permit them a safe space to share their story. 

When she is not podcasting, you can catch her behind the bar, shaking up a custom original #BarbieTender concoction. 

Personally, Cat. B is a passionate, thirty something year young Capricorn , known for being a provocative thinker with an eclectic personality and even more eclectic style (have you seen her hair? *in my best Gucci Mane Voice* “Yellow Bxtch with Green Hair, A Real Weirdo!”) She wants to be remembered as the person who has lived and loved, many lives while remaining true to self without compromising her integrity along the way. She saw many paths presented to her, and decided to pave her own adventure by defying the rules society pressured and reinstated the rules the universe provided. Being a good authentic human. So this is how I live and operate. Welcome to my personal Barbie World. A world of imagination, creative and possibility
