The interview you're about to hear ended up being very personal.\xa0 Not only does designer Beth Diana Smith talk with us about healing from the death of her mom and how she had to become a full fledged adult when most of us are still clueless 20-year-olds, but we also talk about her work with the Black Artists and Designers Guild, which opened up a candid conversation about being a black woman working in the field of interior design.\xa0 I really appreciate how\xa0 open Beth was about all of these things.\xa0 And along the way, we also talked about stuff we love, like mixing styles and fearless decorating.\xa0 So this is a good one, folks!\xa0 Let's get started with Beth.
