Think about all the places you've seen hand-drawn art. Textbooks. Murals. Animation. And when innovators and researchers have a concept of a plan, a skilled artist can bring that vision into reality. An artist like Andreah Pierre, who studied biology in college and took an internship that accidentally paired her scientific mind with a forgotten talent she inherited from her father. Tune in to hear the story of a young queer Black woman descended from immigrant parents who became the first in her family to go to college, the first to deliver a graduation speech at said college, the first to blaze a trail in the field of scientific illustration, and the first to design banners and logos for the Black in Marine Science annual conference. Oh, and she is a proud of her participation in a DEI program that supported her transition into a career in STEM. #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #entrepreneur #stemcareer #scientificillustrator #art #blackwomanartist #queerartist #blackinstem #queerinstem #posse ALL THINGS ANDREAH PIERRE http://andreahpierre.com/

Growing up as a bi-racial kid to a dad from Mexico and a mom from the American South sounds like a plot of a sitcom. One that Gabriel Cruz has the wit, sharpness, creativity, and voice to star in. He was inspired by his marine biologist grandfather to consider a career working with animals, but the math of it all pointed him in a more creative direction. His parents did not have access to education, which meant Gabriel had to navigate the unwritten rules of academia on his own. Listen to the story of how the kid with a 2.9 GPA earned his PhD and became Assistant Professor of Media Studies in the department of Mass Communication at North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC. Dr. Cruz shares some of his research on intersectional critical race analysis of popular culture, especially superhero narratives. His work has appeared in the academic periodicals Journal of Alternative and Community Media and Howard Journal of Communications, as well as in the edited volumes such as Black Panther: Afrofuturism, Gender, Identity, and the Re-Making of Blackness. His forthcoming book Latinidad, Identity Formation, and the Mass Media Landscape: Constructing Pocho Villa addresses how mass media has engaged with the subject of Latinx identity in the United States. Oh, and he dispels 5 myths about people of color in academia. #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #professor #writer #latinoeducator #firstgeneration #mediastudies #criticalracescholar #intersectionality #parasocialrelationshiptheory #salarytransparency WHERE TO FIND GABRIEL Tik Tok & Instagram https://www.tiktok.com/@gacruz_phd Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gacruz_phd/ Office Hours with Dr. C Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/04b5hujWtCCXLDRf9ptc2c?si=d1e802e6c80a46d3 More things Dr. C https://linktr.ee/GacruzPhD

Casey is a triplet, Renaissance faire enthusiast, people-watcher, storyteller, and accidental entrepreneur. Growing up surrounded by creative, passionate people who followed nontraditional paths combined with her experiences as a neurodivergent, chronically ill, and disabled human led to her creating her business, Chipmunk Marketing. Her online business specializes in Instagram engagement and lead generation with the signature service, Spoon Savvy Leads. Creating a values-led lead sourcing service that aims to make engagement more accessible for solopreneurs, especially those whose mental and physical conditions make working in a traditional business environment challenging, is her jam.  Oh, and she shares the glee and joy of graduating in 2020 (spoiler alert: it was not fun). #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #entrepreneur #socialmediamarketing #neurodivergentrepreneur #neurodivergentbusiness #adhdbusinessowner  CASEY ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/chipmunkmarketing

A multipotentialite is a person, particularly one of strong intellectual or artistic curiosity, with the ability to excel in two or more different fields. While Tom would find this far too fancy a description, it fits him like a custom Dr. Who bowtie. Growing up in a rural town where the prevailing career paths were more practical than imaginative, Tom cultivated skills in both. He learned bookkeeping in his family's lawnmowing business and costuming in theater. The kid who wanted to be a professional wrestler tussled his way through careers as a tattoo artist, cast member at Walt Disney World (FL), and an entrepreneur who founded Dapper Manatee Custom Creations. Sharing his art on social media turned him into an accidental advocate and ally for the injustices he observed at the Disney parks and toward people of color in general. With a lot of modesty and a bit of crazy, The Dapper Manatee shares how he embraced his passions and purpose in his unconventional journey. Oh, and his advice for his young daughter who is interested in content creation may surprise you! #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #entrepreneur #artist #ally #representationmatters #contentcreator #etsy #disney DAPPER MANATEE CUSTOM CREATIONS https://www.etsy.com/shop/DapperManateesCC TIK TOK https://www.tiktok.com/@dappermanatee ALL THINGS DAPPER https://linktr.ee/Dappermanatee

Kinetra Stewart has known she wanted to be a hairstylist since she was 9 years old.  Her grandmother wanted something more stable for her grandchild, so Kinetra waited for something to move her the way the way styling hair did. Declaring 5 different majors at Grambling State University, grinding through a slew of unfulfilling retail jobs, mounting debt, and a career in the military that required inconsistently consistent relocation with her new family finally led Kinetra to enroll in cosmetology school.   Business was so good for that she created her business, The Vintage Hipster, which allowed her to grow into an award-winning stylist in the northeast.  A move to Austin, TX required her to dig into market research to find her niche, earning the trust of Black women who had traumatic hair experiences. Kinetra has expanded her reach through her “Hair What I'm Saying” Podcast, which aims to bridge the gap of understanding between beautypreneurs and consumers.  Join us as we chat about her journey from a small town in Louisiana, how attending both a trade schools and traditional university prepared her to be an entrepreneur, how she educates all people about Black hair, and why all of this makes her a successful podcaster. Oh, we talk about why I no longer go to the homes of stylists to get my hair braided.  #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast#entrepreneur #beautypreneur #hairstylist  ALL THINGS KINETRA STEWART THE VINTAGE HIPSTER https://www.thevintagehipster.net/ HAIR WHAT I'M SAYING PODCAST https://www.hairwhatimsaying.com

Jefferson Brooks grew his career from pizza delivery to a six-figure management role at a big box retail store. His love of dogs led him to become adept at training. People began to rely on Jefferson to better their dogs and, ultimately, their families.

Lauren Howard has found a way to be motivated without a ton of pressure from her family. While her immigrant grandparents had some traditional views about women's roles, her progressive dad let her know that SHE would be the man who would provide for her. Had it not been for the very real adverse effects she experiences in the presence of other people's injuries, she very well would have been Dr. Lauren. Instead, she earned her college degree in journalism and then didn't do journalism. Like, not even a little bit. Her career path to corporate America followed by an unpaid, untitled role in revitalizing her father's business revealed she is undeniably skilled in two areas: finding opportunities and telling people what to do. Today she is the CEO of three businesses where she tackles the bloated infrastructure of healthcare, especially in the areas of mental health and trauma in the workplace. Leading with the goal of “artfully oversharing because isolation lies," Lauren shares her passions with transparency, humor, and accessibility. #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #mentalhealth #entrepreneur #healthcare #workplacetrauma   ALL THINGS LAUREN LBee Health LBeeHealth.com Elle Two https://www.elletwo.com LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/elletwo

Elky “No, It's Not Short for Anything” Ramirez grew up alternating between the United States and Costa Rica, which left her feeling both grateful and angry.  Grateful that she acquired native English language skills, which opened up a wide range of career opportunities for her. Angry about the salary discrepancies between the two countries.  At 10 years old, this smart, curious kid had to balance translating complex immigration documents for her parents with illegally downloading software in order to teach herself digital art.  She studied graphic design in college while working a design job at Amazon.  Feeling like she received a better education from her colleagues and own self-taught gumption, she stayed at Amazon but not school.  The work-gym-sleep-repeat cycle lead her to take a leave of absence from her job to take a course on teaching english as a foreign language at the beach. Swapping work-gym-sleep for beach-tan-class made her return to the office a challenging one.  It also marked the beginning of her non-linear path to becoming a freelance graphic designer and digital nomad. Seeking a community as a solo female traveler lead Elky to a WhatsApp group for Black women where she felt seen and understood.  However, she understood the need for Black women to be in spaces created just for them, so with support from the administrator of the group, Elky launched her own group for a melanated people living in Colombia.  Coordinating accessible, fun, engaging, unique, inclusive events helped her grow the group to over 700 members. It also sparked Elky Ramirez Experiences, her new growing career that is fulling a space in the growing ex-pat community in her new home country of Colombia. Tune in to listen to her path of resilience, positivity, and hustle.  Oh, and she reveals how Amazon really makes its money (hint: it's not from selling products!)

Bethshiva Lester has always been a little different. A little curious. A little adventurous.  Having a successful career as a network engineer was fine, but she was drawn to Jamaica where some of her family's roots could be traced.  The Afro-Costa Rican traveler returned from that visit changed.  She resigned from her engineering career to launch a travel agency.  A successful one. One that required a move to a newer location where she was approached by a family wanting to participate in a water activity.  Ever the resource, Bethshiva crafted an activity for the family that they loved and she loved developing. Calypso Adventures Costa Rica was born. Calpyso Adventures Costa Rica provides sustainable ecotourism that showcases the country's diverse landscapes with specific attention to the impact on the local community. Modeling larger organizations by securing the proper certifications for white water rafting, wildlife safaris and kayaking tours;  Bethshiva set herself apart by through personalization of service that her customers (like me!) find unmatched in large group tours. Her business continues to thrive because she knows she doesn't gate-keep the keys to her success and creates opportunities for small business growth locally. Oh, and she is the first Black certified female white water rafting guide in La Fortuna, Costa Rica.

Amos Morris' parents earned master's degrees at a time when that accomplishment was considered exceptional, so he is keenly aware of the powerful influence of “firsts”.   In a career spanning more than 30 years across 7 zoos in the United States; Amos became the first Black Zoo Director at an Association of Zoos & Aquarium (AZA)-accredited zoo, the first African-American to be elected to the AZA Board of Directors, and is currently the first Black Zoo Director at the Milwaukee County Zoo.  Out of the 240 zoos and aquariums across the country, there are only 3 other Black professionals in a director position.  He doesn't take for granted that a person of color could have their career interests in zoos sparked by seeing a face that looks like theirs.   As a kid who grew up watching TV shows like Wild Kingdom and having pets that ranged from turtles to rabbits, Amos knew he'd have a career working with animals.   He pivoted from pursuing a Marine Science degree at Hampton University when the classes conflicted with the football training schedule to graduating with a degree in Animal Science from the University of Missouri. Amos' career has taken him on ecotourism, conservation, and animal care projects to places like Namibia, Tanzania, Peru, and Greece.  An outdoorsy gentleman with a stout presence, sweet smile, and measured tone; Amos sets out every day to be extraordinary for the animals, his staff, and the millions of guests who enter the zoo gates.  Oh, and he has never had a single drop of alcohol in his entire life.   #careerpodcast #blackpodcast #zoo #zoological #nonprofitleadership  AMOS MORRIS https://www.linkedin.com/in/amos-morris-14ab6262 MILWAUKEE COUNTY ZOO https://milwaukeezoo.org ASSOCIATION OF ZOOS & AQUARIUMS https://www.aza.org ASSOCIATION OF MINORITY ZOO & AQUARIUM PROFESSIONALS https://www.amzap.org CANOPY STRATEGIC PARTNERS https://canopysp.com CONTACT US: wiseandwine@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wiseandwine/message

“I Totally Forgot that I Wanted to be a Scientist” with Alan Valera Alan grew up in The Cornhusker State, which must've been quite a cultural shift for his parents who immigrated from Mexico.  Like most people who pack up and leave their home country, Alan's parents wanted a better life for their family.  They worked hard on a hog farm while their kids enjoyed the calm of living in wide open spaces and possibilites in Nebraska.  Watching “Animal Planet” influenced his childhood dream of becoming a scientist, but science took a back seat as Alan became more consumed by the pursuit of athletic excellence than elephants.   Alan earned a teaching grant and became the teacher his parents not-so-secretly wanted him to become.  But the pandemic and its impact on this students, the curricula and his mental health left Alan with a strong desire to make a shift.  He purchased a “Scuba Diving for Dummies” book, practiced holding his breath underwater, and booked a flight to Costa Rica for a 3-month scuba diving internship.  Rich Coast Diving offered the most value for their PADI Zero to Hero program where Alan went from became became a scuba Dive Master.  Oh, and he had never swam in the ocean before he arrived in Costa Rica. #divingfamily #richcoastdiving #divemaster #divemastertraining #scubadiving #PADIzerotohero #costarica #PADIpro --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wiseandwine/message

Laura felt like the dumb one (which she is not) in her very intelligent family. An intelligent family with boundless support for both her and her brother.  When she plunged into Fundamentalist Christianity? Support. When she changed her degree plan in college? Support?  When she left her hotel-based event planner/PR position to become a school counselor?  Support.  When she took a leave of absence from that job to come out as gay, end her 15-year marriage, and start her own life coaching business?  Support, support, support. The self-described “people pleaser” and “good little white girl” fell in love with coaching when she hired a coach for herself.  She was feeling overwhelmed with her career and feeling stuck.  Through sessions with her coach, she re-framed her circumstances and focused on her desires so she could move toward a career change.  Nickels Coaching was Laura's opportunity to normalize the changes we all face when we reach the point in life when we want to dismantle where we've been to get us on the path to where we want to be. The point where we pivot to purpose. Oh, and she was fired by her therapist.

Carlee Jackson Bohannon knew she wanted to work with sharks when she was 5 or 6 years old. The fearless little girl who jumped into a pool before she could swim, grew up to become a shark and sea turtle scientist. Interested in researching the impact of human activities and urban development on sharks and their habitats, Carlee earned a master of science degree in marine biology and worked with the university's shark tagging program to research the effects of provisioning tourism on nurse sharks in Belize. Carlee is passionate about research and field work, striving to contribute to the conservation of sharks and sea turtles. Throughout Carlee's career, she noted the real barriers to access in marine and shark science. From limitations in education, awareness of the field, and the "pay to play" atmosphere of internship programs; being "the only" motivated Carlee to become "the first". She is eager to introduce more minority students to the field of marine science so no one else has to be "the only" in classes, in graduate programs, and on boats. She worked as a Research Associate for the New College of Florida, a team member of the the Disney Conservation team, a Marine Turtle Specialist at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, and an environmental educator in South Florida. In 2022, Carlee received the Justice in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion award by the Florida Marine Science Educators Association. A chance encounter on Twitter introduced Carlee to the other 3 other founding members of what became Minorities in Shark Science (MISS). As the Director of Communications, Carlee and the MISS team believes diversity in scientists creates diversity in thought, which leads to innovation. MISS creates paid opportunities for gender minorities of color to enter the field of shark sciences. The organization also aims to break financial and accessibility barriers to for current and future gender minorities of color interested in this field.

Tisha Starks had the kind of dad who was driven to create businesses and generate income on his own terms - terms that often didn't include a W-2.   But no one in her small Virginia town seemed wired the same way and her dad didn't have a business plan for her to follow.  When she asked the question, “Why can't I start 50 businesses?”, no one has a good answer for her.  No one guided her towards books or podcasts or internships or gave her tangible resources to build from.  So Tisha did it on her own.  Even as she was building a successful career in the finance and financial technology industries for some of the largest banking institutions in The United States, Tisha was hustling on the side.  She sold accessories from her car to build the capitol she needed for her first restaurant.  Did it matter that she didn't really cook?  Nope. This natural collaborator selected the right people and created the right opportunity for everyone to achieve more together.   Tisha doesn't think about limitations, so why not take her budding empire across borders to Colombia?  Did she speak Spanish? Nope. Did she know anyone who could provide guidance through the intricacies of the international business development before she and her husband selected Santa Marta as their home way from home?  Also, no.  Has she created 3 successful business in less than 2 years with bilingual staff, local business advisors, and plans to expand to conferences and travel expertise?  ¡Claro que sí!  Tisha and her husband discovered that moving abroad made them time wealthy and she was able to reconnect with parts of herself after shedding everything they owned in Atlanta.  Oh, she shares how she has always loved money. Like, always.  #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #entrepeneurabroad #blackwomanentrepreneur #hospitality #restaurant #bestwingsofsantamarta #vamoskids #santamartacolombia #blackdigitalnomad VAMOS KIDS https://vamoskids.com BEST WINGS OF SANTA MARTA https://thebestwingsofsantamarta.com BLACK DIGITAL NOMAD https://blackdigitalnomad.co --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wiseandwine/message

Laree Thomas is motivation and inertia personified.  Growing up in New York where her family spent weekends in The Village exploring different foods and cultures, she was bitten by the travel bug early.  Planning international trips with her girlfriends changed how she spent her disposable income. Instead of luxury shoes, she booked trips. Instead of luxury meals, she booked trips. Each trip exposed her to cultures where she is loved and respected, and she spent extended time in Asia and Europe.  Living in Ghana since 2018, Laree is no longer fighting to be seen as a human being.  She is building on skills she developed from careers in fashion, homelessness prevention, and education to advocate for children and vulnerable populations abroad. This nomad has adapted to the pace of a life where she feels accomplished if gets 2 things done in a day.  Laree also has to consider issues of pay disparity, gentrification, the privilege of being an American abroad, and the impact of AI on remote work; her new life has opened up time for Laree to learn about herself.  In fact, she located the tribe in Ghana from which she is descended.  Oh, and has a budget for cake.  #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #remotework #entrepreneur #educator LAREE THOMAS https://www.instagram.com/lareelathomas AFRICAN ANCESTRY Discover Your African Roots by Black People, for Black People https://africanancestry.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wiseandwine/message

Sam grew up in rural Alabama, the first person in her family to graduate from both high school and college. Her passion for employing education as a tool for empowerment lead her to living in Thailand for 4 years.  Mariya was raised by entrepreneurial parents in Southern California with the drive to excel in marketing, publicity and high-end sales. Without completing her college degree, she parlayed her strongest skills and truest self into the creation of her own business, Mariya Pallais PR. This is the interview where I thought I'd break that social media wall to get the realest real on a Millennial couple who works, travels and scuba dives together.  Instead, I have a talk-like-old friends chat with two lovely women who have built a partnership where they are able to bring their authentic selves to every aspect of their lives…even when it means one person burns the eggs and the other paces while she works.  They've found a balance where what you see online is a true reflection of who they are and not filtered representatives.

Sort of. Erin is funny, but Erin is practical. And comedy is an unstable career. She attempted to find stability in other areas until an academic route to comedy presented itself.  This added a seriousness to her craft, particularly while working on her creative non-fiction writing thesis about her eating disorder.  Erin took a break stress and un-funness by viewing refrigerator organization videos on Tik Tok. On a whim, she posted a comedic sketch that earned over a 1 million views overnight on TikTok.   Now, Erin is blazing a new path for an under 30 queer woman from Adam Sandler's home state managing mental health who is using her platform for funny, but also to let people from different communities know they're heard Oh, we deep dive into her Semester At Sea experience, the one I only got to see on MTV. #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #lgbtq #comedy #tiktok #disorderedeating #mentalhealth TIK TOK Erin Hattamer INSTAGRAM @erinhatta --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wiseandwine/message

Samantha Sacchi's family tree is rooted in entrepreneurship. Roots that stretch to Venezuela, Spain, Italy and Lebanon have given her a global perspective on how people determine their priorities. Procuring 2 bachelors degrees and a masters degrees in different countries helped her set a gauge for difficulty in pursuit of a goal. It showed her that earning hard things requires hard word. Submitting resumes to countless of jobs after college, waiting to be picked for an entry-level position felt neither hard, nor earned. Samantha's style was more the “re-tool the job description of an internship so well that they offer you a full-time role”. Until it wasn't. A health scare during a time when she grinding in her career lead her to spend 8 life-changing days in Spain. Eight days to know that her next path had to align with her emotions and her passions. She spent a year in Australia undoing the career path to build her new vocation. Now, Samantha expands consciousness and brings her clients back to their souls through teaching, facilitation, coaching, mentoring and consulting. Through her business, The Self Club, she creates powerful spaces and programs for people to experience their true power. Samantha has lived in a dozen cities across 4 continents and has no doubt that the bottom line of life is Love. All her work leads back to that. Oh, and we dive into the role the expectations of your parents plays in the career choices of their children. And it's a doozy!
