In this episode of Growing Up I speak with entrepreneur and creative writer ShaVaughn L. Morris about never really fitting in. And like most entrepreneurs I know, this is 'normel'. ShaVaughn has self published her own erotica "Gemini Moon Rising: A Tale of Two Spirits" and is the owneroperator of the Creative Ink Pen housed at Equal Space in Newark NJ. Check out our conversation about connecting, throwing shade and why we're not into small talk.

In this episode of Growing Up I speak with entrepreneur Emily Manz about growing up and being shy. But since moving to Newark, Emily has helped create staple programs in the community including Have You Met Newark, Brick City Bar Crawl, Nom Nom Newark and a host of other things. Emily also has her own consulting company where she focuses on inclusion, innovation and economic development. Listen up as we talk about confidence and changing the narrative around how you want to see yourself in the world.
