Margaret “Margo” Francois-Aiyegbusi
Margaret “Margo” Francois-Aiyegbusi is a beauty and wellness leader, certified yoga instructor, wife, and mother based in Tampa Bay. Nationally recognized as a top yoga and wellness expert, Margo holds certifications in Hatha and Rocket Yoga and has long championed mindful movement as a powerful tool for connection, resilience, and overall well-being.

With more than a decade of leadership in the professional beauty industry, Margo is also a passionate advocate for inclusion and belonging, working to create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. Her work and personal practice sit at the intersection of wellness, culture, and community, grounded in the belief that caring for our mental and emotional well-being shapes how we show up for ourselves, our families, our communities, and one another.

Jessica Liszt
Jessica grew up in Tampa with an almost obsessive curiosity about fashion – researching brands, studying trends, and developing a deep fascination with the psychology behind what we wear and why we buy it. She went on to study Fashion Merchandising and Consumer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where internships and hands-on projects gave her experience across brands, consumer behavior, and the business of fashion.

After graduation, she moved to New York to work at Kenneth Cole before pursuing a law degree at Barry University in Orlando. Throughout law school and while practicing law for many years, she continued to work in fashion as a personal and commercial stylist and visual merchandising consultant. She also taught Fashion Law as an adjunct professor at The Art Institute for several years, combining her two professional worlds.

After spending several years as a full-time stay-at-home mom, she returned to fashion in 2026 – following the passion that has been a constant throughout her life. Today, she works as a content creator and commercial and editorial stylist, bringing together her background in fashion, consumer psychology, law, and storytelling to create thoughtful, strategic, and visually compelling work.
