Welcome back, family! It’s been about a month since you’ve heard from us on and there’s a good reason why!  Your cousin went to the motherland!  That’s right y’all I had the opportunity to go to Africa and had to jump at it. We’ll talk more about that later but believe me when I say that if you ever get the chance to visit Africa whether you be Black, White, Latino, Asian you should definitely go!  There’s so much to learn about and experience and definitely well worth the trip. So, this week just to get us back in the swing of things we have a quick visit from our sister Lawonza Serenity.  She’s an up-and-coming PR person from the Atlanta area and she stopped by to talk with us about her journey to where she is now and where she’s headed.  We’re definitely going to be hearing a lot from her in the future and look forward to what she has coming up next.  Take a listen and be on the lookout for more content coming soon!

Welcome back, family! We’ve been doing this show for a few years now and over that time we’ve had some pretty amazing guests.  We truly think of all our guests and listeners as a family and we try to keep track of all of our new aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Every now and again we get the chance to catch up with family and we jump at the opportunity.  Erin Stevenson is one of our favorite cousins and it’s been a few years since we talked on the mic.  We had to ask her about the Janet Jackson residency she just completed.  And, the last time she was here she was just launching her solo recording career so we had to get the update on that.  Now everyone knows that when the family gets together no conversation ends where it starts so we were all over the place.  But, we still had an amazing time.  You’re going to love this one! Take a listen and let us know what you think.  Let’s go!

Welcome back, family! If you’re anything like me you’ve spent many hours in front of HGTV watching any number of house flipping shows.  One thing you learn very quickly is that every single flip requires one thing more than money.  A good contractor.  And this week’s guest is one of the select few who have been chosen to show off his impressive construction skills.  Jonathan Brewer has been in the construction industry most of his life and in the past few years has made the transition to television.  We are happy that he was able to stop by the Brownstone and share his career path, where he sees himself in the future and drop some tips for those of us who may catch the home renovation bug. Check this one out and don’t forget to let us know what you think!  We know you’re going to enjoy this one!  So let’s go!
