“Cultural Currency: Creativity, Ownership, and Black Women’s Influence” with Tope Ajala (S2:203)
In this episode of POPLAW, we’re joined by Tope Ajala—global executive, cultural strategist, and founder of To A Tee—for a rich and unfiltered conversation at the intersection of identity, influence, and intentional living.
We unpack the cultural and branding implications of the OMG Girlz vs. MGA Entertainment lawsuit and explore what it really means to own your image in a world that loves to borrow from Black brilliance. From global boardrooms to wellness retreats, Tope has made a career out of creating space for women to lead with power and softness. Tune in as we talk about:
Why cultural influence is currency
How to shift from being the “inspiration” to owning the IP
Building a personal brand rooted in clarity, care, and boundaries
Whether you’re a creative, a corporate strategist, or just tired of seeing culture copied without credit, this episode is a masterclass in protecting your power and moving with purpose.
