Erin, our beloved host, takes a moment to interview a Providence, Rhode Island staple DJ Franchise. Many Providence natives grew up listening to him on 101.1 FM, one of the popular radio stations in town.

The death of Kenneka Jenkins really hit home for me.  When I think of the types of people and places that I hung around at the age of 19 years old, I cringe at what could have happened to us.  Being adventurous and impulsive, although dangerous, led to most if not all of my insight in my late twenties.  I felt Song Cry by August Alsina would be a fitting song for this week because this case is so horrific that the only thing that can describe it is music.         If you are interested in being featured on The Business of Soul Searching podcast please email me at  

In this podcast, I give my unfiltered perspective on Charlottesville, Virginia and why this continues to happen. I struggle incorporating politics into my podcast because it is controversial and causes people to shut down at times.  With that being said, as a woman of color I do not have the luxury to ignore politics much like I cannot ignore racism.  I made sure to offer my soul searching journey through racism and political awareness to show transparency in hopes to provoke and empower others to do the same.    2:30 Charlottesville, Virginia incident this past weekend 5:30 I read a quote that I found on Facebook and who I look up to advocacy wise on my timeline 6:30 I speak about being inspired by a previous mentor of mine who advocates for different oppressed individuals. 8:45 Privilege is used in a condescending way now a days.  Why is it ineffective to come across as condescending? 11:18 How privilege has blinded me in the past and how I realized no one is safe! 17:00 It is easy to see who is silent (scared) to get involved in political discussion. 18:34 There is a sense of empowerment and confidence in speaking out against racial tension.       If you are interested in the topics we discussed today, please email me at

Even though she has had quite the journey and has accomplished much, she is filled with youth and feels her journey really has yet to begin.

My second podcast is quite different from the first in how it was conducted as well as the topic.  My role for Fashion Week RI 2017 was to capture the integral parts of Fashion Week, including but not limited to a main designer, professional friends of the Donahue Modeling Agency as well as the staff working the show at the infamous SQUAD photo shoot.   Bonus: The last part of this podcast has to do with a woman that invests in either black owned and or woman owned products for her shop Solace Boutique.  As a licensed Esthetician she meticulously searches for the best products for her consumers.  As a woman that actively takes part in world wide commerce, her journeys influence her products, customers, and advocacy platform. She took time out of her schedule to drop some gems on us!   

In this episode, I introduce my podcast mission statement and talk about attending the Women's March on D.C. 2017. I also share my thoughts on how we're missing the mark in including people of color.
