"Girls Rule is a fantastic non-fiction book that celebrates female achievements throughout hundreds of years of history and is written by an inspirational role model herself, double Paralympic gold medalist and five times World Champion Archery sports star, Danielle Brown. This book documents 50 amazing, diverse, accomplished and determined females; it features their childhood stories, early dreams and their challenges and perseverance through their lives. ... As well as being a source of information for each particular woman, the book as a whole shines a light proudly on the feminist movement, on the shifts within the whole landscape of women in society over many, many years across the entire world. Girls Rule is a brilliant, captivating and awe-inspiring collection of extraordinary role models."

4-Star Review

"The selection of women is diverse in every sense but all the women have one thing in common: they had to overcome extraordinary odds to achieve more than they ever thought they could. The message - there is a way around every barrier for those courageous enough to persevere - is empowering."

Leslie Antonoff may be the comical co-host of ASPiRE's cooking show Butter + BROWN, but she almost didn't realize her TV potential. The Fashion Mamas LA member reveals that it was her friend and Insecure star Issa Rae who convinced her to give the entertainment world a shot. "It may not have been what I thought I wanted, but it turns out it's exactly where I need to be," Antonoff says.

Now a mama of three (she recently gave birth to her third child!), Antonoff tells us that although she was on a path to becoming a lawyer, she "ended up" in the world of PR instead. Driven by her desire to break out of the 9-to-5 world and pushed by Rae to seriously consider a career on the small screen, Antonoff wrote and starred in her own cultural commentary web series, Let Leslie Tell It. Fast forward to today: Now, Antonoff's show Butter + BROWN is in its second season and has welcomed guests like the legendary rapper Rick Ross, wine makers the McBride Sisters, actor Lorenz Tate, and others.

That's not all: The stylish entrepreneur is also the creator of Sweet Knowledge Clothing, a collegiate apparel brand for graduates of historically black colleges and universities to show their HBCU pride. In 2016, Antonoff founded her blog The Haute Mommie, where she shares everything from style and beauty tips to candid (translation: REAL) insights on parenting and life.

First, I guess I have to accept that I have indeed created this career but also I'm still on the bus trying to get to the path, at least in my head. However, to answer the question, a series of perfectly imperfect moments is what'd I say. I attended college at Howard University in D.C., and had every intention of becoming an attorney but ended up in public relations. That trajectory took me from studying for the LSAT to working in multiple boutique publicity firms and realizing I had no desire to work for someone else. That had never been my desire but it took me a while to realize it.

I was working at a firm when my friend Issa Rae asked me if I would do a show on her YouTube channel. I promptly declined, haha! I had done a couple cameos on her hit series, Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, which is what prompted the request. But I am of the belief that others will and can see the gifts we possess even if we do not. She asked again and this time I said if you get me a camera man I'll do it. She got me one and the rest is history.

That show, Let Leslie Tell It, a cultural social commentary web series, was my initial foray into entertainment and proved that I could draw an audience, write comedy, and be on the pulse. I filmed 50 episodes of that show which each amassed between 10,000 to 30,000 views. It was great; I loved every week creating that content and having a space to give my point of view on what was happening in the world. From there I knew she was focused on building the channel even more so I approached another friend of ours, [Seth Brundle], to see if he'd be interested in creating a culinary series. He, myself, and our great camera guy Theo Macabao went on to develop Butter + BROWN. After only six episodes online we were approached by ASPiRE to bring the show to series on television.

In all of this I realize that if not for Issa pushing me, [former Essence magazine editor in chief] Angela Burt Murray for sharing Let Leslie Tell It on CocoaFAB and ultimately pitching Butter + BROWN to ASPiRE, or Chef G Garvin taking an interest in developing our show, I wouldn't be where I am. I never had the goal of being on television but clearly the plans we make for ourselves are not always what The Creator has in mind.

Issa is a friend of mine, she went to Stanford with my best friend so we've known one another for years. Haha, pitching the show was great actually because the team (my co-host and camera man/producer) and I decided early on to develop an entire episode rather than just pitch the idea. We wanted her to SEE what we had in mind. Thankfully she saw our vision and that meeting went from a pitch session to production meeting in ten minutes. We left that day with plans for an entire season.

SELL IT! Obviously, right? But by "sell it" I mean make the network, production team, whomever feel like if this show isn't made it will be a detriment to society. Know your stuff! [For example] there is a litany of culinary shows, but Butter + BROWN is wholly different. It's not about recreating the entire wheel, but changing the wheel to fit the car. Even if there are ten shows already like yours, it's YOUR involvement, YOUR twist, YOUR voice that makes it new.

We've been compared to [Food Network show Down Home with The Neelys] simply because we're a black duo in cooking. But Seth and I aren't a couple, we're not classically trained, and we incorporate sketch comedy into a cooking show. Those elements make our show something new. What is your something new? That's the key. Sell your something new.

Roasted chicken thighs or a grilled salmon. Both of those proteins can handle any seasoning you may have on hand, cook fairly quickly (chicken will take a tad longer obvi), and can be served in a way to look pretty. Those are the two things I always have in my freezer.

WHEW! Hahaha, thank you. I wish I could say that I do. This definitely is something I needed to work on even when I was a mother of one. I don't relax well, when I have idle time I get anxious or feel like I should be using my time more wisely. It's not the best habit and I am working to change my mindset. Lately I've been working on my yard and tending to the plants, it's been surprisingly calming. But I'm still goal-oriented overall, so certainly not a treat.
