Welcome to the Baddie Besties Podcast, the unfiltered space where best friends Samira and Alyssa get real about womanhood and carving your own path in your 20s. As first-generation women, they were both raised on the “safe” blueprint of success: doctor, lawyer, nurse, engineer, etc. But when that path didn’t feel like theirs, they decided to talk about the messy in-between of feeling lost, ambitious, and uncertain, and Baddie Besties was born. What started as candid conversations about navigating life soon grew into their Hey Barbie series and reset events, The Pause Festival & Pause Pop-Ups.
