The MIRROR | MIRROR Podcast
MIRROR | MIRROR: A Startup Founder's Peek Behind The Mirror Hosted by the founder of MIRROR | MIRROR, this show explores the future of AI and fashion without Big Tech’s exploitative playbook — and the unfiltered reality of building a company as a woman of color from a non-privileged background. The goal? Tearing down Big Tech’s algorithmic control, one unapologetic post at a time.
What You’ll Hear on the MIRROR | MIRROR Podcast
From dismantling Big Tech’s grip on AI to reimagining fashion as a force for individuality, the MIRROR | MIRROR podcast delivers unfiltered conversations, hard-earned lessons, and behind-the-scenes stories from building a revolutionary startup without privilege.
AI, Ethics, and the Big Tech Problem
The MIRROR | MIRROR podcast explores how AI can be built without the surveillance, bias, and exploitation that define Big Tech. Each episode challenges the industry’s status quo, showing how technology can serve people first — without sacrificing privacy, dignity, or creativity.
A Female Founder’s Atypical Journey
This is the unfiltered story of building a startup as a woman of color from a non-privileged background. The MIRROR | MIRROR podcast shares the lessons, setbacks, and wins of creating a human-centric AI company while rewriting what it means to be a founder. Listeners hear the real stories — from bootstrapping and burnout to breakthrough moments — that rarely make it into polished startup narratives.
Rethinking Fashion Tech
We explore how fashion technology can evolve beyond trends and profit-driven algorithms to actually empower the individual. By combining human-centric design, mental health awareness, and cutting-edge AI, the show reimagines style as a deeply personal and respectful experience rather than a tool for manipulation.
Behind MIRROR | MIRROR
Each episode takes you behind the scenes of creating the world’s first AI stylist, Dorota™, revealing the design process, ethical decisions, and technical breakthroughs that shaped her. It’s a transparent look at how an idea became a product — and how that product is driving a movement to rethink fashion and technology together.

Sidney Madison Prescott, MBA | FOUNDER & CEO, MIRROR | MIRROR™
As the founder of MIRROR | MIRROR™, Sidney is building the world’s first AI stylist, Dorota™ using a proprietary Human-Centric Engineering™ methodology that blends fashion expertise, emotional intelligence, and privacy-first technology.
Her vision is to create a platform where style is deeply personal, mentally uplifting, and completely free from the exploitative algorithms that dominate Big Tech.
With a career leading global AI and automation teams at companies like Spotify and E*TRADE, Sidney has delivered innovation at scale for some of the world’s most recognizable brands. But unlike many founders, she began her journey with no safety net, no generational wealth, and no privileged connections to smooth the path.
Every step has been fueled by resilience, ingenuity, and an unshakable belief that technology can be both cutting-edge and deeply human. Her story is as disruptive as the technology she’s building — and she brings that same raw honesty and bold vision to every episode of the MIRROR | MIRROR podcast.
