Khloe Kardashian is a GLOBAL ICON and on this episode of Role Model, one of the world’s most famous women opens up in a beautifully real and vulnerable way. Khloe tells Leomie about how her body struggles led to the creation of her brand ‘Good American’ and why motherhood introduced her to ‘Dose & Co’.  She gives her passionate take on internet trolling and why it exists, and shares why she does not shy away from the race conversation when it comes to her daughter, True.  Reality TV show ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ put this family on the map and now alongside her sisters Kim, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie and the original ‘Momager’ Kris Jenner, Khloe has changed the game… leading the way in beauty, fashion and social media on the world stage.  Follow @Leomieanderson & @khloekardashian on instagram and ROLE MODEL podcast right here, so you never miss an episode.We’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions on Role Model, head to rolemodelpod.com now to feed back.

Role Model Odell Beckham Jr is not just a superstar athlete. He’s a style sensation, a trainer fanatic and a family man. Known to friends and fans as OBJ, he is an American football wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Beckham was drafted by the New York Giants in 2014. In 2016, he became the fastest player in NFL history to reach both 200 career receptions and 4,000 career receiving yards. But in this episode we aren’t talking about the game. Instead, he tells Leomie about his first love (soccer) and the alternate universe where he’s kicking a ball and scoring goals. They also discuss over coming the ‘what ifs’ in life and how music helps him envision game play. His determination, sacrifice and drive make Odell the definition of a Role Model.

Somali-American role model and activist Halima Aden is remarkable. On this very inspiring episode, she tells Leomie what it was like being photographed in the arms of white celebrities as a baby in Africa, why her mother smashed her homecoming crown and after a highly publicised exit, why she walked away from fashion at the peak of her career.  Halima Aden was born and raised in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where her family fled to escape the civil war. After landing in the US, Halima began blazing her trail, becoming the first Muslim model to wear a hijab in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant, which led to covers on Allure, Teen Vogue and British Vogue.

Shit doesn’t get much realer than Slick Woods…one of the most fly models to come and disrupt the game. Slick knows hardship. She tells Leomie about growing up homeless in LA, her mother’s incarceration for murder and what it was like being in labour on the catwalk!! Despite the adversity (and a cancer diagnosis), Slick Woods is still slaying it as one of the iconic faces of Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty and Kanye West’s Yeezy.
