New York Stylist Sophia Hyacinthe has been working with women all over the city for 13 years: from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, to publishing industry powerhouses, to girl bosses. She joins Cheddar with some tips to keep you on-trend and in fashion.
Hyacinthe says stylists aren't just for celebrities.
She says working women can hire a stylist to spare them the 20 minutes they spend staring at their closet, as well as saving them the money that might have been wasted on an impulse purchase.
The three pieces she recommends every woman have in her closet are: glove booties, cropped trousers, and a fabulous piece of outerwear.

According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, Hollywood has been falling short on financial support for transgender-specific organizations despite some improvements in on-screen representation. Actor and producer Scott Turner Schofield, the founder of the consultancy Speaking of Transgender, joined Cheddar to note that rather than focusing on the dearth of donor dollars itself, fixing media representation helps fund those service groups, even if the money isn't yet flowing. "If you ask people, 'are trans people more visible in media,' everybody is going to say yes because it's very clear, but are there commercials for those direct service organizations? No. That's something you'll get from social media — maybe — if you're following people," Schofield said.

The ocean is an important topic when it comes to the climate. It plays a vital role in shaping our environment, with rising sea levels causing a 35% increase in natural disasters around the world, affecting 1.7 billion people. Dr. Sylvia Earle has been called perhaps the greatest advocate our oceans have ever had, with Time magazine dubbing her its first 'hero of the planet' and the Library of Congress naming her a living legend. She is also the founder of Mission Blue, an organization that inspires action to explore and protect the ocean. Dr. Earle joined Cheddar Climate for more on the importance of caring for the ocean and its impact on climate change.
