Hello, my unapologetic beauties, I hope you all are well and keeping safe. For today's episode, I am joined by Azandria "Tiffany" and we will be discussing self-acceptance. For Tiffany to be a woman of colour who has a visible flaw, it was a great difficulty for her to truly accept and value herself as someone who is uniquely beautiful and who has a lot to offer. Because of her prior inability to fully accept herself, it impacted her relationships, her career, and her overall life. It was a journey for her to get this place where she can look at her reflection and be in love with her flaws and herself. This topic is important to many women of colour because so many of us struggle with self-acceptance and self-love. It hinders us from taking that step to better ourselves and our lives and also makes us feel unworthy and undeserving of love and a good life.

Hello, my unapologetic beauties! I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe! For today’s episode, I was inspired to discuss the topic of manifestation and social media influencers.

Thank you for tuning into another episode of "Unapologetically Black" brought to you by "Unapologetically Her" In light of the protests and all that has been going both across the border and here in our backyard, I realized that it’s not only my due diligence but my responsibility and right to use my platform to not only voice my thoughts and feelings but to allow others to share their voice and thoughts as well. The goal is to not only discuss what’s going on but to discuss how we’re feeling, talk about personal experiences, our history, about oppression, interracial relationships, what it’s like to be out there on the front lines, how it feels to be black in today’s society. There are so many different ways to experience it, but in one way or another, we’re all able to relate to each other. The goal is to touch on the things we don’t always get to hear about, and from the voices that you wouldn’t normally hear from on a day to day basis. In this episode, I am joined by Tiffany (@justcallme_tifff), a mother fo two who was both strong and brave enough to join the podcast and share her story. The piece that you heard recited at the beginning of the episode is titled “White and Black” by Tarik Boyce from his first book of poetry “Black, Blue, Green.” A book with a collection of 10 years of poetry writing. You can follow him @poetrybyrik on Instagram for more information.

For today's episode, I am joined by the lovely beautiful business savvy, Miss Roushelle Regin honey! She is a Brand, Web and Experienced Strategist and Designer. A background of dance (25 years professionally trained), pageantry (former Miss Canada), and modelling. A woman of many talents. In today's episode, we will be discussing young black woman in business, entrepreneurship and the highs and lows of starting your own business and working your way up in the business world.

Hello, my unapologetic beauties! I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe despite this crazy pandemic. In today's episode, I will be addressing the coronavirus (because let's be honest, what else is going on). And on the other hand (that far non-dominant hand), I will be giving my personal opinion towards this whole Lilly Singh situation. Enjoy, stay safe and stay blessed!

For the last couple of months, I have struggled with post-grad depression but I have been finding ways to overcome it and finally claim my space. Nothing worth having comes easy. It may be a long road, but it is truly worth it.
