In this episode I'm talking with Angela Taylor who produces the Alpha with Angela YouTube channel. We talk about how she began learning Greek and spend most of the episode talking about Alpha with Angela and what it takes to produce a series like it. Alpha with Angela is a free Comprehensible Input based series that assumes little to no prior knowledge of Greek and uses no English in the videos. As such its meant to make Greek accessible to anyone regardless of their current languages and background. It's a great series and I hope you'll enjoy learning more about it and the person who produces it.

I have become increasingly aware of the fact that our future is deeply influenced by the lived experiences of our ancestors. Every triumph, every struggle, every obstacle they overcame has shaped who we are today. Their courage, resilience, and determination have been passed down through generations, and it is up to us to continue their legacy. By honoring our ancestors and learning from their experiences, we can create a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come. In this episode, my guest Dr. Artika Tyner (a passionate educator and author) Founder of the Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute discusses how her connection to her foremothers serves as a reminder of the power of reclaiming our roots and our purpose. She outlines how our roots are our foundation and can provide us with the courage to pursue our dreams and goals. Ways in which we should be inspired by our ancestors, who fought for us to be where we are today. And, how we can use their stories and experiences to inform our own journey.

If you are trying to live a life that you envisioned, there is a cheat code for that. If you are trying to be a great leader, there is a cheat code for that. If you are trying to make people feel seen and heard, there is a cheat code for that as well. Luckily, the cheat code is the same for all three and I am going to share it with you. The cheat code is: self-awareness. When you are self -aware, how you receive information hits differently. In this episode, I am speaking with Solita C. Roberts. Solita's mission is to help you powerfully show up as the confident leader you are...through your style! Her company, Style to Impact, focus is to give you the confidence and wardrobe to embrace all that makes you, you! In order to do that, you need to be self-aware!

Black people are lazy. Black people don't have anything to bring to the table. Black people don't have great ideas. These clichés are what keep systematic racism in power. If we are unable to show our greatness because no one is listening, how do we prove these stereotypes wrong? This type of thinking does not just happen in the workforce. It begins at a very young age in our education system. Per Education Weekly, "a typical U.S. student spends 8,884 hours over nine years to complete primary and lower secondary education." With that amount of time, teachers have the ability to either breath life into a child or deflate them like a balloon. If a child is the "only one" in the classroom that looks different than the others, what's the likelihood they are going to receive positive affirmations or any affirmations at all? In this episode, I am speaking with Nikole Collins Puri. Nikole is a social justice visionary, strategist, advocate and mentor who has committed her life to unleashing the potential of untapped communities. She's the CEO of Techbridge Girls, a nonprofit organization that excites, educates and equips girls from low-income communities through STEM, empowering them to pursue STEM careers and achieve economic mobility and financial security as adults.

We are coming right off of the tail end of Thanksgiving. When you saw all those fixings, how did you make your plate? Did you pile everything on? Did you get those plates that have separate compartments? Did you eat all the proteins at one time and then go back for some veggies and then some carbs. How you ate your Thanksgiving meal is probably how you are going to approach what to do when a plethora of inspiration, ideas and creativity hits you. Are you going to mix it all together and nosh or are you going to be more strategic and have a plan of action? In this episode, there is nobody better to dive into this discussion than Melissa Haughton! Melissa (she/her) is a writer, marketer and digital storyteller of Jamaican descent based in Toronto. Her work often explores ideas of family, culture and community through the lens of Blackness. In 2020, Melissa created and produced So What Are You? a six-part podcast series exploring diasporic and familial relationships to cultural identity.

We are officially in the throws of the holiday season. Although it is customary to give tangible gifts, some of the greatest gifts do not have a price tag. The gift of time. The gift of understanding. The gift of reaching out to someone and mirroring to them how they shine. I received the latter from my dear friend, Cherie Buckner-Webb, recently in a phone call. In this episode, Nicole Ellis shares the gift of experiences and health. Nicole is a vegan food travel vlogger and consultant! As a travel vlogger, one of her goals is to cross all 50 states off of her "been to" list. With only one state to go (Alaska), she will be accomplishing that goal soon enough. However, Nicole had an even loftier goal. To give herself the gift of health. She has done that and in return, has gifted others by teaching them how to be healthier as well without sacrificing flavor.

In Episode #24, I got to honor my mother in a conversation with Marisa Renee Lee about grief in loss. It's only fitting with National Play with Dad Day here that I share some thoughts about my amazing father with you as well. I don't speak about my father often on this podcast but he has definitely shaped me into the woman I am today. Recently, I was asked "What is the value of a father"? THAT is a powerful question. Children's relationships with their fathers are just as important as relationships with their mother. In this episode, I am speaking with Edward Kim. Edward has a passion to make the experience of work enjoyable! He is a leadership coach, team builder, business owner but his favorite moniker is "dad" to his son, Ernie. But his transition into fatherhood has not been an easy one. As anyone who has been around newborns knows, some days can be amazing. Then, there are those other days that no one speaks about. Well, Edward is speaking about both types of days!

For those who do not know, this podcast is a love letter to my mother, Alice Faye Taylor. When this episode drops, it will be one year and one day since my mother has passed. Being a private person, it was hard to share my grief about her passing. However, I also think it is important. Black women are told to always be strong. Generationally, we have been taught to perform even when we are experiencing profound turmoil. As I honor my mother in this conversation, I invite my friend Beverly Oden to speak with me about her experiences with grief and loss. You may recognize Beverly's voice as she has been on the podcast two other times sharing her wisdom. If you haven't had an opportunity to listen, you can find them here: Unlocking Your Authentic Voice with Beverly Oden and Unlocking Sisterhood & Entrepreneurship with Beverly Oden and Mia Jackson . I am also inviting another person who has helped me through this experience, Marisa Renee Lee. After losing her mother, a cousin and a much wanted pregnancy, Marisa was in the throws of grief. With her catastrophic loses, Marisa chose to channel her experiences into a book. In Grief is Love Marisa reveals that healing does not mean moving on after losing a loved one. Healing means learning to acknowledge and create space for your grief. Please take a moment to honor Marisa's mother, Lisa, her cousin and her baby. Take Care. Pray Every day.

Have you ever thought about YOUR superpower? What makes you acutely different and special? If you can't identify a superpower, I invite you to ask your friends, family, colleagues what is one amazing thing about you. Did the majority of the people polled say they appreciate how you make them feel seen? Did they say your ability to make them laugh? Did they say your ability to fold love into your food? Whatever the mass consensus is, THAT is your superpower! For the rest of the day, honor that superpower and share with everyone you meet, why you're a super s/hero. In this episode, I am so excited to speak with Lea B. Olsen. Lea B.'s superpower is mentorship, leadership, and collaboration. She is able to help women see the greatness within themselves.

Productivity starts with being clear about your purpose and taking action.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and we are continuing this series with Angela Taylor's powerful testimony, "Life After Breast Cancer."
In growing older, there are so many beautiful experiences to enjoy and explore. Vacations. Job Opportunities. Creating your own family. But something that is not discussed is how our relationships with immediate family transitions. In lieu of your mother being a parental figure, she begins to become a friend. Instead of bickering with your sibling for your parents attention, you start considering them a peer. With the passing of time, there is a dawning that these relationships should be revered as we watch our loved ones age, get sick and leave their earthly bodies. Every moment with them is precious and every day with them is treasured. In this episode, I am joined by Jasmine Stringer who knows all about seizing the day.

There are times when we put undue pressure on ourselves. This may occur when we need to advocate for ourselves or when we are interacting with someone whose opinions we value. We've found ourselves cracking a joke to get around an uncomfortable situation. We've given advice that we don't apply to our own situation. Today on the show, Bethany Hawkins tells us how she found her entrepreneurial voice after dealing with the pressure and stress of being the only Black woman in the office. Bethany Hawkins is the CEO and founder of Crackers and Soup, a podcast management company with a mission to assist women podcast hosts that need the best F word known in the English language… freedom.

There is so much power in knowing our history and seeing others, who have come before you, unlock new pathways. In her recent speech at the unveiling of Former President Barack Obama and Former First Lady Michelle Obama's White House portraits, Michelle Obama eloquently discussed why moments like that are important for anyone who may be doubting themselves. She discusses how her own story has shaped by her experience as a Black woman, and how sharing her story can help others to see themselves in a place where they can be successful. This week's guest Anucha Browne's dynamic story has shaped her in many powerful ways while providing the fortitude and resolve to find ways to shift power. In this episode, Anucha Browne joins me for a very honest conversation about her journey as an executive with deep cross-sector experience and a legacy in women's college sports. She talks about her current role as Chief Impact Officer at Tides, where she is responsible for leading the execution and implementation of Tides' strategic initiatives. She talks about the organization's recent focus on shifting and strengthening the power of BIPOC leaders, organizations, and communities. Browne credits the passage of Title IX for giving her the opportunity to play basketball at Northwestern University, which served as a catalyst to gaining valuable leadership skills that she continues to leverage in her efforts to shift power.

For members of historically marginalized communities, there often is an incredible amount of pressure on those who are identified as possessing a lot of potential. They've done all of the right things, worked hard in school, earned multiple degrees and fulfilled a dream by securing a prestigious job perhaps as a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Yet, whose dream are they fulfilling? Knowing that so few of their peers would have an opportunity like this, do they stay in that job because of the sense of guilt they feel? In this episode, I had a riveting conversation with LaNora Williams-Clark, a creative entrepreneur who became a lawyer because a teacher planted the seed during her youth. While thriving at her law firm, she wasn't happy and it literally took a cataclysmic event to convince her to walk away and seek clarity about her true passion which led her to unlocking her inner muse. Under the guidance of her late mentor and Constitutional Law professor, “The Father of Critical Race Theory” Derrick Bell, LaNora left the practice of law to start Muse Creative Arts Agency LLC where she supports the efforts of various writers and creators using film and theatre to tell important stories.

Over the last couple of years, as major corporations publicly stated their commitment to equity & inclusion, many leaders from historically excluded & marginalized identities were asked to step into roles to help lead the change. Being at the table can be both exhilarating and exhausting. But having representation at the table is essential. In this episode, Amelia Hardy and I discuss how to show up, stand up and speak up when you have a seat at the table and the importance of authentically being part of the conversation when the glass cliff is ready to be shattered.

There is something magical when Black women come together in sisterhood. True Sisters can talk in every way possible. From sharing wins to being transparent through the hard times, there is NOTHING like your Sister friends. In this episode, I am in conversation with two of dear friends, Beverly Oden and Mia Jackson. This is not the first time we are speaking on a podcast together. All three of us were a part of the podcast Game Changers Live, where our tagline was a "new view from the sidelines." We have had many changes since the last episode dropped in 2014 but one thing has remained: the love and respect we each have for each other...even if we all can't agree upon a favorite Lakers player! Mia Jackson is a marketing, communications and brand acceleration leader. Beverly Oden was heard in Episode 2: Unlocking Your Authentic Voice so if you did not have a chance to listen, please do (after you listen to this episode). Beverly's journey consists of her being an Olympic athlete, counselor, entrepreneur, author, journalist, and producer of Beyond the Glory.

The key to unlocking a club isn't just trying to get into someplace where others like you have not been allowed. It can also mean getting some THING that others like you have not previously received. In this case, adequate reproductive care. In this episode, in honor of Fibroid Awareness Month, I want to share with you not only my experience with uterine fibroids but also provide education and knowledge about the conditions of fibroids and how they should be treated. It is my honor to be in conversation about this issue with my soul sister Teresa Edwards, an international women's basketball superstar and Dr. John Lipman MD, a board-certified Interventional Radiologist and renowned authority in the non-surgical treatment of uterine fibroids.

I am so dang happy to introduce you to one of my fantastic students, Angela Taylor. Even though she was incredibly nervous because she's a fellow introvert, she was a great sport about being selected for a hotseat during a recent training. Now, this is actually my second hotseat interview—my first one was with Norma. If you haven't given that a listen, be sure to listen to it after you enjoy this one. I'll drop the link in the notes.And let me take a sec to explain hotseats and how I use ‘em. I choose students at random to talk one on one with me so I can work with them if they're stuck…and celebrate them for everything they're doing. It's such an awesome way to learn, because even if you're not the one in the hotseat. I like to call it “we” learning instead of “me” learning. Okay, back to Angela. I've gotta give her some big “woots!” for what she's done. She is an ACTION taker and is so, so, SO willing to learn. Where she's had a bit of a struggle, however, is knowing just how many products she should bundle together to sell online…or whether bundling is the right option for her!Plus, we take a dive into the 5 things to check if your products aren't selling online—and what you can do about ‘em.
