We kick off Season 1 of Sage Vibrant Living the Podcast with Barbara Bates’ unexpected journey from the West Side of Chicago to influential fashion designer and philanthropist.
Barbara shares her early love for designing, spurred by her fascination with Barbie dolls and luxury fabrics, and recounts the turning point in high school that led her to pursue fashion design as a full-time career.
Despite starting without formal training or a business plan, Barbara's passion and unique designs not only caught the eye of famous clients like Michael Jordan but also paved the way for her lasting impact on the fashion industry and her community.
Now in her late sixties, Barbara reflects on her career, the challenges she overcame and shares her plans for the future.
