Let The Good Talk Roll
This podcast, as a collection of interviews, brings to light the original — and sometimes unorthodox — professional trajectories of selected artists and entrepreneurs. Based out of New Orleans, and hosted by Natalie Steuer, Let The Good Talk Roll will feature individuals whose lives and careers reflect an undeniable appreciation for beauty and business. However, beyond aesthetics and success, my appreciation is largely for the fortitude and follow-through which led them each to where they are today.

Trishala Bhansali with Lekha
•
Episode 7
Trishala Bhansali was born and raised in New Orleans but spent her summers strolling the marketplaces of India, where both her parents are from. As a teenager, she began designing her own clothes and shoes. Then as a young adult, she began her career in luxury retail buying -- which she did for a decade before deciding to begin her own fashion brand. She named her brand Lekha and built her line around her love for quality muslins. Lekha designs reflect her New Orleans upbringing and Indian heritage; the garments are designed here in New Orleans and the clothes are handmade in India. Inspired by her grandmother's work, Trish sought out fellow female creators and allies in both New Orleans and India to build and advocate for Lekha.
