In this wide-ranging conversation, Takiyah (T.D.) Harper-Shipman joins us to discuss her new book Unruly Fertility: Race, Development, and Decolonial Reproductive Politics (Stanford University Press, 2026). The discussion traces how modern states—from North Carolina to Senegal—have historically sutured Black women's fertility to the shifting demands of capitalist accumulation, deploying reproductive health policies not as benevolent care but as instruments of crisis management and labor control. Harper-Shipman unpacks the colonial origins of "womanhood" itself as a racialized labor category constructed during European enclosures, one that has always excluded Black women from its aspirational promises of citizenship, consumption, and reproductive autonomy. Drawing on Federici, Mies, Spillers, and Angela Davis, she argues that Black women enter the modern political economy as producers of workers—never citizens—and that contemporary feminist movements risk replicating white womanhood's assumptions when they abandon class analysis or ignore the chains of production behind their demands. The conversation also examines the recent closure of USAID, an institution Takiyah describes as fundamentally about the preservation of white life and the extension of U.S. empire. Rather than mourn its end, she urges us to seize this rupture and continue dismantling the colonial infrastructure of reproductive governance it represented. The conversation closes with a powerful critique of the epistemic violence embedded in global family planning campaigns—how metrics like "unmet need" were designed to serve supplier interests, not Black women's desires, and how Black women's embodied knowledge about contraceptive side effects is systematically dismissed as myth while dangerous technologies banned in the Global North are actively promoted across Africa. Throughout, we explore the Americanization of Black political identity from World War II through 9/11 to Obama's presidency, tracing how Black people have been conscripted into U.S. imperial projects through strategic moments of violence and national belonging. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation; additional questions will be addressed in an August follow-up. T.D. Harper-Shipman is an Associate Professor and Chair of Africana Studies at Davidson College in North Carolina. She teaches courses and publishes on political economy and its intersection with race and gender in Africa. She has published in p Antipode, Oxford Academic, Third World Quarterly, and International Studies Review, among other places. She is an academic editor at Third World Quarterly and forum editor with the Miami Institute of Social Sciences. Her first book, Rethinking Ownership of Development in Africa was published with Routledge Press in 2019. She has also published in public-facing forums including Africa is a Country and the Global African Worker.   Reckoning with Empire: Defiant Scholarship with Takiyah Harper-Shipman La femme fait la maison: The Accumulation of Surplus Value through Family Planning in Burkina Faso To support our work and gain access to our discord and study groups please contribute to our patreon!

Join us for an evening of film, data and dialogue exploring one of the most consequential workforce questions of our time, featuring the documentary Ninety-Two: The Silent Revolt No One Saw Coming. Black women are among the fastest-growing groups of breadwinners in America. Yet despite their outsized contribution to families, communities and the economy, they continue to experience disproportionate levels of burnout, workplace inequity, financial strain and invisible labor. What happens when the very people holding up the economy can no longer sustain the weight? The event will feature a screening of Ninety-Two: The Silent Revolt No One Saw Coming, a documentary examining Black women's evolving relationship with work, ambition, caregiving, exhaustion, and resistance. Following the screening, attendees will join a moderated conversation featuring filmmaker and IKONI Institute founder Dr. Jade D. Singleton and executive producer Tara Jaye Frank, informed by emerging findings from the Global State of Black Women's Labor Study—a multi-country research initiative examining the experiences of Black women across the United States, Africa, the Caribbean, Canada and the United Kingdom. Together, we will examine: The hidden costs of burnout and invisible labor Why traditional workplace solutions are falling short The growing gap between mentorship and meaningful access The economic realities facing Black women breadwinners The intersection of labor, leadership, well-being and economic mobility What employers, philanthropists, policymakers and community leaders can do next Designed for nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, researchers, employers, policymakers, advocates and civic leaders, this event moves beyond awareness and toward action.

8.14.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump Ballroom Fight Explodes. Black Women Job Crisis. How American Whiteness Was Made The twice impeached convicted felon Donald Trump is asking a judge to intervene and allow him to build a NEW 90,000 square-foot ballroom in place of the demolished White House East Wing. We'll tell you about his new request to the Supreme Court. Job prospects are uneven for Black women, and a new report has the data to prove it. Institute for Women's Policy Research's Dr. Jennifer Turner will join us live to discuss the real reason women are struggling to hold down jobs in the work force, and it has nothing to do with effort or qualifications. Wisconsin Republican Congressman up for re-election in November has a goal to help the rich get richer. We'll play you the clip of what Historian Carmen Thompson explores how the concept of Whiteness predates European expansion into the Americas. She explains that it was a central factor in the settlement of Virginia, the first colony of what would become the United States of America.

Why are relationships between Black men and women becoming increasingly hostile—and what role do broken families, government intervention, child support, dating culture, and personal choices play?In this lecture, Marquett examines what he believes is a destructive cycle affecting Black relationships and families. He discusses single motherhood, fatherhood, marriage and divorce, child support, male and female dating strategies, government involvement in family disputes, personal responsibility, obedience, leadership, and the consequences of choosing the wrong partner.He also challenges both men and women to think more carefully about who they build families with, how they handle conflict, and whether modern relationship dynamics are creating stronger families—or tearing them apart.This is a provocative discussion intended to challenge assumptions and encourage deeper conversation about relationships, responsibility, family structure, and culture.Topics discussed: Black relationships, Black family structure, men and women, dating, marriage, divorce, fatherhood, motherhood, child support, masculinity, femininity, family leadership, relationships, and personal responsibility.⸻

Dr. Kerry Mitchell Brown joins The Authority Company Podcast to discuss her book Revolutionary Leadership: A Power Playbook for Black Women and the urgent need to rethink how leadership is recognized, developed, and supported.In this conversation, Dr. Brown explains why Black women remain underrepresented in top executive roles, how traditional leadership systems often miss the skills Black women already bring, and why organizations need to redesign advancement systems instead of relying on performative programs.Joe and Dr. Brown also explore the power of representation, the difference between networking and “friend-raising,” how caregiving builds real leadership capability, and what leaders should stop doing if they genuinely want to cultivate Black women leaders.This episode is a powerful conversation about equity, leadership, community, systems change, and the future of work.What You'll LearnWhy Black women make up nearly 8% of the U.S. population but hold just over 1% of top executive leadership jobs.Why representation matters when people are trying to imagine themselves in positions of power.How leadership systems can be redesigned instead of patched with short-term programs.Why caregiving develops many of the same skills organizations claim to value in executives.How “friend-raising” creates deeper, longer-term relationships than traditional networking.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dr. Kerry Mitchell Brown00:56 The leadership gap for Black women02:19 Why representation matters03:01 The pipeline problem in leadership04:04 Why systems need redesign05:23 Becoming a revolutionary pathmaker06:25 How to redesign broken systems07:31 What traditional leadership models get wrong09:46 Friend-raising vs. networking11:41 The transactional truth about networking13:00 Why thriving together creates power14:08 What has changed for Black women leaders15:05 Caregiving as leadership training17:48 How caregiving builds empathy18:58 Why community matters more than ever20:18 How mobility changed community22:43 Building community with intention24:26 How adults can practice friend-raising28:32 Friend-raising in business30:46 What leaders should stop doing32:05 Why leaders need to talk to people directly33:28 Why exit interviews come too late33:53 Why Dr. Brown dedicated the book to her daughters34:53 Closing thoughtsWhat leaders should stop doing if they want to support Black women's advancement.

As the U.S. birth rate continues to decline, some politicians are calling for policies that encourage Americans to have more children, otherwise known as pronatalism—even as abortion access, contraception, and maternal health care face growing challenges. Professor Carolette Norwood explains what pronatalism is, why debates over population growth are often intertwined with race and immigration, and how these conversations intersect with reproductive justice and policy.   For more on this topic: Read an interview with Norwood in The Hilltop, Pronatalism and the Politics of Childbirth Check out her article, More than Abortion: Why Reproductive Justice Matters in Cincinnati Post-Roe, co-written with Thembi Carr and published in the Journal of Women, Politics & Policy Read her paper, Forced to Birth: A Case Study of Ohio's Six-Week Abortion Ban, Its Impact on Black Women in Cincinnati and Its Relevance for Reproductive Justice in Ohio and Beyond, published in Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

Despite a decade of restrictive behavior and a career path in mental health counseling, Alishia McCullough had never associated herself with the phrase eating disorder.

Send us Fan MailThroughout history women have made remarkable and lasting contributions to Black advancement. They have played instrumental roles in advocacy, policy development, community engagement, and the overall advancement of racial uplift. However, a glaring gap exists in the literature and discourse surrounding these women pioneers. In this two part series of ISOBP we hope to contribute to decreasing that gap.Support the showIn Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.  This podcast is sponsored and produced by Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle (LBS).

Send us Fan MailIn this deeply reflective episode of The Box & The Sky series, Keya McClain the Poet explores why so many Gen X Black women are saying they're "reclaiming their time"—and why it's about so much more than time.For generations, many women were taught to be everything for everyone: dependable, resilient, selfless, and endlessly available. But what happens when strength becomes your identity and peace becomes an afterthought?Through personal reflection and years of healing work, Keya discusses how choosing yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary. She shares how journaling, therapy, meditation, boundaries, and self-awareness helped her stop performing strength and start embracing peace.In this episode, Keya discusses: Why reclaiming time is really reclaiming yourself  The hidden cost of being "the strong one"  Releasing people-pleasing and overfunctioning  Why peace is something we intentionally choose  Giving yourself permission to rest, say no, and disappoint others  The difference between proving your worth and honoring your value  Why healing teaches us to choose ourselves without guilt This conversation is for every woman who has spent years taking care of everyone else and is finally asking, "What would it look like to care for me?"Because reclaiming your time isn't really about time.It's about reclaiming the woman you've always been beneath the expectations.Support the show

Is changing your natural hair simply a personal style choice—or can it reflect something deeper about identity, beauty standards, and self-acceptance?In this candid conversation, Marquett challenges a woman to examine why she straightens and colors her hair, how Western beauty standards influence Black women, and whether changing your appearance can attract men who are not genuinely drawn to who you naturally are.The discussion then shifts into dating, fertility, competition, and what women must understand when pursuing disciplined, successful, and highly desired men. Marquett explains why finding the right partner requires self-awareness, realistic expectations, intentional effort, and becoming the kind of woman a qualified man would choose.This conversation explores:* Natural hair, wigs, and racial identity* Beauty standards and authentic self-love* How appearance affects attraction* Why women must date intentionally* The competition for successful men* What high-value men expect from a partnerDo you believe changing your natural hair is simply fashion—or can it reveal something deeper?Subscribe for more direct conversations on relationships, identity, culture, masculinity, and modern dating.⸻

"This joy that I have, the world didn't give and the world can't take it away." If we're honest, at times it does seem like life and this world can extract our joy due to the targeted attacks, microaggressions, and cruelty. However, joy is not solely based on external circumstances, it's an internal well of resourcing that resides in our soul and spirit. Joy is defined as "an abiding, deep-seated state of peace and inner stability rooted in the divine." Joy is also a fruit of the spirit that is nurtured by grace and sustained by an eternal hope in the divine presence and active involvement of Emmanuel (God with Us). Let's talk about it. www.talkingwithdrtoy.com

Dr. Joy sits down with neuropsychologist Dr. Tanisha Hill-Jarrett, assistant professor at UCSF's Memory and Aging Center, to talk through what brain health means, why it's broader than mental health alone, and the daily habits that support it: cardiovascular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, stress management, social connection, and quality sleep. They dig into what our phones are doing to us. Dr. Hill-Jarrett breaks down how short-form video triggers a bigger dopamine response than a typical reward, why the unpredictability of a feed keeps us scrolling, and what that means for sleep, attention span, and memory. She shares her own strategies, including separate personal and professional Instagram accounts and the Pomodoro method for resetting focus without reaching for a screen. The conversation turns to her research on Black women and Alzheimer's disease. Black Americans face 1.5 to 2 times the risk of white Americans, and Black women carry the highest projected prevalence of any group, a gap that shows up even among women who are upwardly mobile, largely tied to the neighborhoods they live in. Dr. Hill-Jarrett also unpacks weathering, the term coined by Arlene Geronimus for the accelerated biological aging that Black women experience, and points to research showing Black women's telomeres suggest they are roughly seven and a half years biologically older than white women at the same age. She closes with her current work on Afrofuturism and hopefulness, including a 10-week workshop where participants imagined a future free of time scarcity and reported feeling more hopeful about shaping what comes next. Her advice for anyone worried it's too late to protect their brain: it never is.

You're watching it happen in real time.Your colleagues are leaving corporate to start businesses. You know people moving abroad, going remote, stepping back to let their partners carry the financial weight. Social media is full of Black women making it look easy — and making corporate look like the worst choice you could possibly make for your life.And now you're starting to wonder: should I be doing that too?In the 3rd episode of the leadership identity series, Dr. Nicole speaks directly to the woman who still wants executive leadership — but is feeling the pull of an increasingly appealing cultural narrative that says opting out is the smarter, freer, more enlightened choice.This is not an episode against rest. It is not an argument against entrepreneurship or living abroad or designing a nontraditional life. Dr. Nicole has deep respect for women who make those choices genuinely and deliberately.This episode is about something more specific: the woman who is using the soft life as a reason to stop before she's really decided to stop. The woman who is letting other people's exits quietly erode her own ambition. The woman who calls it a lifestyle preference when what it might really be is a very understandable fear of what it costs to be fully seen.Ready to work with Dr. Nicole to land your executive promotion or outperform expectations in your first 180 days?  Book your call: https://thechangedoc/leader

Women of color are often expected to navigate workplaces that were not built with them in mind—while still leading, performing, adapting, and carrying the emotional weight of being “the only” or “one of few.”In this replay episode of DEI After 5, Sacha Thompson talks with Vanity Jenkins and Rachel Vicente about what it takes to create healthier workplace environments where women of color can lead, learn, and thrive without shrinking themselves.Together, they discuss leadership development, planning for those often pushed to the margins, internalized racial oppression, mental health, wellness, boundaries, and what it means to build spaces where women of color are supported—not just celebrated.

Among those recruits were a group of highly skilled Black women who were employed as cryptologists to decode these messages. But their role in Cold War intelligence operations has been largely overlooked, until now. Host Flora Lichtman talks with historian Sarah Valentine about her book, “Decoding the Devil: Black Women Codebreakers and the Secret War Against Stalin's Bomb.” Read an excerpt of “Decoding the Devil.” Guest: Dr. Sarah Valentine is the author of “Decoding the Devil: Black Women Codebreakers and the Secret War Against Stalin's Bomb.” Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Dr. LaNail R. Plummer is a visionary mental health expert, educator, speaker, and author dedicated to redefining how minorities are seen, supported, and healed in clinical spaces. Her book, The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women (Jan 2026, Norton & Co), is her first of three serving as both a professional resource for educators and mental health providers, and an accessible guide for Black women looking to heal. For Dr. Plummer, the book is more than theory but a response to a gap witnessed in her entire career; the need for healthcare (especially within mental health) that affirms and reflects the real lived experiences of Black women. Dr. Plummer brings two decades of clinical expertise and lived experience to inform her work. In 2013, she founded Onyx Therapy Group, a mental health organization with a team of 40+ BIPOC counselors and consultants serving Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Louisiana, with an international footprint in South Africa. Onyx's work spans across culturally responsive mental health care, consultation for local and government agencies, executive coaching, mentorship, and even prison reform work. We discuss topics including: Black women can have clinicians that understand how to work with black women Understanding that we are not all the same as our perspectives are different Exploring the stereotypes with black women The importance for black women to be seen and heard Reviewing the messages that you have been taught about black women Countertransference makes every black woman not enjoy the experience of therapy or be willing to give another therapist a chance   SHOW NOTES:   Website: www.onyxtherapy.com Book: The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women IG: @Mahoganysunshine IG: @onyxtherapygroup ____________________________________________ If you have any questions regarding the topics discussed on this podcast, please reach out to Robyn directly via email: rlgrd@askaboutfood.com You can also connect with Robyn on social media by following her on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

We Ain't Dying For This | S3 E1 — For the Love of Black Women What does it mean to dream as a Black woman? In the Season 3 premiere, Crystle Johnson sits down with Rachel Z. Harris, founder of Black Woman Sanctuary and Ixchel Balam, for a conversation about what it takes to build a life on your own terms, and the spaces that make that possible. Rachel left behind so many careers and multiple lives when she moved to México. What she found on the other side was something she'd been reaching for all along: the freedom to step outside the white gaze and rediscover what she actually wants. In this episode, she and Crystle get honest about hypervisibility and invisibility at the same time, about the kind of underbelonging that lives outside the workplace, and about why rest and real life change, not just stress management, is the work in front of us. This is a conversation between two women building parallel ecosystems in the same city. Kinory is a global social dining community and belonging ecosystem for Black women. Black Woman Sanctuary is a place designed for restoration. Both rooted in the same belief: that Black women deserve spaces built for who we actually are. If you've been sitting on a dream, waiting for permission or proof, this one is for you. Connect with the ecosystems:

Atima Omara on The Instigators — the roadmap Black women have written for saving democracy, and why it's required reading before the midterms.

In case you missed it, this episode is a re-release of an amazing conversation with Dr. Christina Grant.Andre 3000 told us the South has something to say, and Dr. Christina Greer wants us to heed the lessons that Black women political leaders from the South are teaching us. Dr. Greer stops by the class to talk about her latest publication, “How to Build a Democracy. From Fannie Lou Hamer and Barbara Jordan to Stacey Abrams,” and what it means to grow beyond fear, to build upon foundations established by our ancestors, being prepared to thrive at Historically White Colleges and Universities, the importance of political tithing and not waiting for America to grow up fully–she may never.  How to Build a Democracy.

What if the greatest privilege you could give a child isn't opportunity — it's being allowed to stay creative?This week I sit down with actress, filmmaker, and creator Andrea Lewis — Degrassi's Hazel, the mind behind Netflix's The Black Beauty Effect, and now the creator of Glam Culture, her regional beauty docuseries. Andrea moves through the world with a rare kind of peace about her own timeline, and this conversation is a masterclass in what that actually looks like in practice.We get into how Essence Fest became her manifestation machine, the two women who shaped her sense of style (her Kingstonian grandmother and her cowgirl-Jamaican mother), the Maya Angelou advice she got at 15 that changed how she ages, the honest reality of crowdfunding your own art — what she calls "Game of Thrones shame" — the PCOS diagnosis that reshaped how she moves through the world, why you need champions (not connections) to actually move a career forward, and why the most valuable thing she inherited was being allowed to stay creative without anyone trying to pull it back.

Only 0.34% of venture capital goes to Black women. Dr. Liz Clayborne, founder and CEO of NasaClip, raised money inside that number. On Getting Rich Together, she tells host Syama Bunten what venture capital funding for black women founders actually requires. This physician entrepreneur's startup story starts in the ER, where Liz kept seeing patients mismanage nosebleeds and come in with something a simple device could fix at home. She was six months pregnant and appearing on national television as a frontline doctor when the pandemic hit in 2020. She delivered her daughter that May, then built NasaClip during an accelerator program while on her maternity leave. Her divorce followed about two years later, and she took a steep pay cut to keep the company alive. Some of her early checks came from physician colleagues who had never made an angel investment before. She had to explain risk, payout, and timeline from scratch, and what she learned from those conversations reshaped how she thinks about angel investing for women and how limited startup funding for women of color really is. It also explains why venture capital funding for black women founders barely moves. Liz also gets specific about the diamond ring she bought herself and why it became a daily reminder to keep loving herself through a hard year. She shares a question her seven year old daughter asked her, one that says everything about what female founder fundraising can build for the next generation.

Our guest has resurrected the word ‘instigators’ and given it a powerful and positive connotation. In this case, she is bringing attention the historical importance of Black women, ages 18 to 45, whose role continues to be that of pushing our society forward for social justice and historic reforms of all kinds.  Atima Omara, author of “The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy and What We Can Learn from Them”, challenges us to consider any progressive movement–be it abolition, voting rights, labor justice, the environment, the rights for LGBTQ and those advances relating to persons with disability–to recognize the central role the ‘instigators’ have played throughout our history.  Even the Flint, Michigan water crises and the attention and action brought to it came about because of these brave young Black women.  We revisit some of the history and current day impacts that these women have had and continue to on our society as they resist being pushed to the margins with a range of creative efforts to bend the nation’s moral compass toward justice.

Black women, do you have emotional safe spaces? Secondly, do you use those emotional safe spaces? An emotional safe space is where we can show up as our authentic selves with our vulnerabilities and limitations and receive nurture, care, love, and validation. Such spaces provide healing where we bask in visibility, are encouraged to take off the masks, speak our voice, and reframe from shrinking and code switching. To be honest, such spaces are few and far between for Black women which is why we must cultivate our own spaces where we no longer remain silent about our mental health. Speak up! Let's talk about it. www.talkingwithdrtoy.com

Send us Fan MailBlack women saw the warning signs around Graham Platner long before many others did. Instead of asking why they were concerned, too many people dismissed those concerns as divisive, irresponsible, or politically inconvenient. Now, with serious allegations emerging, I want to revisit that moment and ask a bigger question: Why are Black women's instincts so often questioned until it's too late?In this episode, I explore the history behind that pattern, why credibility is so unevenly distributed in our politics, and what this moment reveals about who we choose to believe.Normally, episodes like this are reserved for my premium subscribers, but I'm making this one available to everyone as a preview of what you'll receive as an All Over the Place premium subscriber.If you enjoy thoughtful, historically grounded conversations that go beyond the headlines, consider subscribing.

When Black women mobilize, democracy wins, says Atima Omara. She's written a new book called The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (And What We Can Learn from Them) and joins host Ali Muldrow to talk about how Black women have fought against racism and sexism and instigated for a more just society. As voters prepare to cast their ballots in the upcoming state and federal elections, the future of our multi-racial democracy stands in the balance. Omara says it's important to work within the Democratic party in order to make it even more inclusive, like Fannie Lou Hamer did. She says the most effective politicians are the ones who stay focused on everyday people.  Omara wrote this book with other Black women and people of color in mind. She wanted to decenter the voices of people who are white, male, cis-gender, wealthy, raised in cultural centers on the coasts, etc. They also talk about the recent wave of democratic socialist candidates, white comfort and patriarchy, and how Black women are to thank for so many intellectual and cultural touchstones.  Atima Omara is the Founder and Chief Strategist of Omara Strategy Group—a progressive political and advocacy consulting firm—and the author of the new book The Instigators: How Black Women Are Essential to American Democracy (And What We Can Learn from Them).

If this resonated with you, here are additional resources:⭐ APPLY TO SHIFT: https://sidehustlepro.co/shiftIn this episode, I sat down with Jotaka Eaddy, founder of Full Circle Strategies and Win With Black Women, for a conversation about power, purpose and resilience. We talked about her childhood in Johnsonville, South Carolina, a town of under 1,400 people that taught her the value of community long before she ever set foot in Washington, DC or Silicon Valley.Jotaka walked me through her path from student activist against the death penalty to senior advisor at the NAACP to becoming the first Black employee at a fintech startup in Silicon Valley. She opened up about the layoff that nearly broke her and the Oprah Winfrey clip that helped her reframe it as redirection rather than failure.We also talked about how Win With Black Women was born from a single late night email in 2020 that turned into a Zoom call with 44,000 women, and how that same community continues to organize today. Jotaka got vulnerable about losing her mother during the 2024 election season and what that grief has taught her about faith, resilience and asking for help.Main TakeawaysYour community can be your first investors. The people of Jotaka's hometown pooled money so she could attend a conference that changed the course of her life.A layoff is not always failure. It can be redirection toward something bigger than you could have planned for yourself.Movements are built in the quiet, consistent work that happens long before anyone is watching or celebrating.Black women hold real power at the ballot box and in daily acts of organizing, even while in survival mode.Highlights Include02:01 - Growing up in Johnsonville, South Carolina05:04 - The conference that changed her life11:46 - Learning to lead by carrying the bag15:17 - Making the leap into Silicon Valley19:08 - Getting laid off and finding strength in an Oprah Winfrey clip29:02 - The spark behind Win With Black Women35:40 - The night 44,000 women joined the call44:53 - How to show up when you are in survival mode48:05 - Opening up about losing her motherWatch & ListenWatch this episode on YouTube and listen on all podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8tYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/sidehustleproAnnouncementsApplications are now open for Shift, my 12-week coaching program designed to help experienced professionals package their expertise into a profitable offer, identify their first clients, and confidently launch their next chapter.Learn more and apply at: https://sidehustlepro.co/shiftSocial MediaJotaka Eaddy: Instagram: @JotakaEaddyWin With Black Women: Instagram: @WinWithBlackWomen Hosted on Acast.
