Beyoncé‘s fashion stylists Ty Hunter and Raquel Smith recently stopped through Atlanta for a one day networking event titled “Let’s Talk” and my RC correspondents, Mahoghani Dawn and A. Raquel, were there to capture the sights and sounds. The private event took place at The Bailey Agency and featured an intimate Q&A session between the stylists and aspiring designers, bloggers and fashion enthusiasts.

He told me during our exclusive radio interview for UPFRONT that “Let’s talk,” was birth out of their desire to help the next generation of stylists make their mark in the fashion industry.

“‘Let’s Talk started’ for me and Raquel from fans wanting to know how to jump into the business and being a stylist and wanting to know our story” said Hunter.

“This is more about motivating people and knowing that you can step out on faith and be what you want to be. I’m a country boy from Texas, who had a vision and didn’t let my environment keep me going far. I pray that everyone will walk away and be motivated and pump up for their next transition in life,” said Hunter.
