This week's episode is all about us audacious black girls in the workplace and why we not only belong but need to be in the room where decisions are happening. Sometimes being in those rooms (especially in corporate spaces that may be heavily white and male) can be frustrating as not only a woman but a black woman. But, we still need to be there and feel empowered in those spaces  knowing that our presence and voice is needed. We also deserve to feel empowered when we step out on our own and create our businesses/platforms! I also offer some tips to help you feel empowered in any work space. I'm working on creating virtual community spaces where we get together with other black women and discuss our experiences in work spaces and other spaces.

In this episode, I discuss the strong black woman term and how society has made it something negative with the goal of "trying" to paint us as "too much" or pressure us to endure discomfort.  But us black women are indeed strong! Where would we be, where would our community be if we weren't strong and resilient. But with that strength that we have that allows us to be go-getters, to be successful and audacious....our softness, our grace and our beauty are just as strong. So yes, we are indeed strong but we get to define our strength! I offer tips and affirmations to help you reclaim your strong!Follow the Audacious Black Girl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/audaciousblackgirl/Join the Audacious Black Girl Podcast Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/540952193091879​Follow the Audacious Black Girl Page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/audaciousblackgirl​Visit the Audacious Black Girl Website here !Want to collab or have something to say?

Hey audacious black girl, do you know that your story is worthy of being told? That your voice is needed and everything you have to offer is worthy of praise? Black women need more spaces that highlight our voices and allow us to share our stories, our businesses and our creativity. My guest Nikki Branch, CEO of Women for the Culture,  does just that! With her business she has "built a community for black women to empower each other and level up on their goals and relationships". We discuss how she uses her platform to raise the voices of black women and how she learned to embrace her own story. We chat about the importance of platforms that create space for us, being authentic to who you are and having relationship circles that are purposeful and aligned with your intentions.Let's stay connected!Follow Nikki on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/womenfortheculture/https://www.instagram.com/nikkifortheculture/Women For The Culture Website Follow the Audacious Black Girl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/audaciousblackgirl/Join the Audacious Black Girl Podcast Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/540952193091879​Follow the Audacious Black Girl Page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/audaciousblackgirl​Visit the Audacious Black Girl Website here !Want to collab or have something to say?
