Non-Corporate Girls

The ENDDDD OF AN ERAAA or not! It kinda feels that way, but what we can say is that recording 123 episodes to date has been an accomplishment the Non-Corporate Girls never saw happening. Single-handedly it is a milestone both Ayanna (@the_aya_brand) and Delaila (@missdelailac) committed to more than any other and now it's onward. This next phase of NCG is intentional so that the duo can put their head down and really map out how they will take charge of their growth. It is with immense gratitude to have received so many reassuring words of encouragement from our community and those who took the time to help the ladies reflect and be reminded of the strides made. This is not a goodbye but definitely a see you later moment. Season 7 has to be the most epic, as they say the #7 is an idea of completeness. And so taking a pause after season 6 makes sense because we are not done yet. So here's to working toward a season of completion. The best is yet to come!

We like to shake things up a bit at NCG. In the first ever of its kind our two hosts Ayanna (@the_aya_brand) and Delaila (@missdelailac) interview one another instead of a featured guest. The catch was that neither was able to view the questions prior and so each response shared is truly a testament from the heart to actual lived experiences. The exchange was honest, sincere, and eye-opening. With a level of candor and vulnerability both Ayanna and Delaila realized how much they have overcome and all the growth that has transpired in both their personal and professional lives.This week there is no #ObsessedWith, the conversation was solely focused on the host and their perspectives.
