Welcome to Bri Books! This week, as we'll be delving into all things literary, starting with a review of the 6 best books I read in 2023. 'The War Before: The True Life Story of Becoming A Black Panther, Keeping the Faith in Prison & Fighting for Those Left Behind' by Safiya Bukhari. This book was probably my most valuable and important read of 2023. It's the true-life story of Safiya Bukhari, and it catalogues her lifelong commitment as an advocate for the rights of the oppressed. Following her journey from middle-class student to Black Panter to political prisoner, her wiritings provide an intimate view of a woman wrestling with the issues of her time, including the legacy of the Panthers, misogyny in the movement, her decision to convert to Islandm, the incarceration of outspoken radicals around the world, her passion for family, and how the struggles of social justice movements have paved the way for the progress of today. ‘Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection, and Guidance' by Kelly McDaniel. This book came recommended by Myleik Teele, founder of Curlbox and host behind Myleik Teele My Taught You podcast. It's truly a life-changing and life-saving book. It comes with countless insights on so many things. Having parts of this book hit home has been enlightening and healing at a whole new level. With ‘Mother Hunger', McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact. McDaniel is the first clinician to identify Mother Hunger, which demystifies the search for love and provides the compass that each woman needs to end the struggle with achy, lonely emptiness, and come home to herself. 'The Yoga Almanac: 52 Practices and Rituals to Stay Grounded Through the Astrological Seasons,' by Lisette Cherreson and Andrea Rice. Sequenced by the astrological calendar, The Yoga Almanac is a practical guide to help you reintegrate with recurring cosmic rhythms, and invite the sacred into your life through learning, movement, breath, and ritual. Featuring 52 seasonally-themed chapters, the Almanac is a comprehensive jumping off point to deepen your relationship to yoga—and to yourself. ‘Forbidden Fairways: African Americans and the Game of Golf' by Calvin H. Sinnette.: The emergence of Tiger Woods on the international golf scene brought the world's attention to the African American experience in golf. But before Tiger, names like Ted Rhodes, Bill Spiller, Ann Gregory, and so many others remained in relative obscurity without being given the chance to compete. ‘Forbidden Fairways' is not just a history of the African Americans who have been playing golf for over 200 years but a tribute to them as well. ‘Spare' by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Spare. Spare! WHAT can I even SAY about the book that kicked off 2023? For the first time, Prince Harry tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, Spare is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief. From losing his mother, Princess Diana, as a tween to joining the British Army before meeting Meghan Markle his future wife, Harry spared nothing and no one in ‘Spare.' ‘Slow Living: The Secrets to Slowing Down and Noticing the Simple Joys Anywhere' by Helena Woods. This is a fantastic book that breaks down how to inject more calmness, stillness, and intentionality into your daily life. A must for 2024 and beyond!

The beauty of motherhood. Myleik Teele joins this episode to discuss the healing opportunities of being a mother; to be more creative, finding joy, and reconnecting with your inner child. Every mother has their journey, and as we raise and nurture divine beings it is important to be in a space to receive what they are here to offer us as well. There are over 27 million Black moms in America, and we are some of the most isolated and unsupported women in our society. Myleik is working to change that. She is the founder of CURLBOX, a mother of two, and behind the online community for moms, Myleik+Mommas is dedicated to helping mothers build their village one connection at a time.

The mother of two and CURLBOX founder underscores how looking at things differently has allowed her to achieve her dreams and approach motherhood with grace and intention. Myleik talks with Ashley about learning to “sit with that discomfort” of rejection and allowing herself to be bold to create opportunities for herself. Myleik stresses the importance of playing the long game and embracing career pivots. She says working gigs that she was overqualified for eventually led to reaching her dream job. When Myleik realized she'd “need to be really intentional” about finding fulfilling work, she launched CURLBOX and never looked back. She opens up about how becoming a mother offered a new perspective on her own upbringing, and allowed her to give her mother, and herself, some necessary grace.
Today's guest really needs no introduction but for those who aren't familiar, Myleik Teele is the Chief Experience Officer and Founder of CURLBOX which is the very first monthly subscription box for natural hair. The brand is celebrating 10 years of giving us an opportunity to test new items without wasting our hard-earned dollars on products that don't work for our hair types. In addition to blessing us with CURLBOX, this powerhouse is really passionate about pouring into other women through the My Taught You Retreat, the Myleik Teele Podcast, her book recommendations, newsletter, her social media shares, you name it. Myleik really is a gift to the world and it's an honor to be in conversation with her today. Produced by Dear Media
Becoming a parent is really hard. And part of what makes it hard is the unrealistic narrative about what parenthood should feel like. In this Deep Dive episode, Dr. Becky has a real, raw, say-it-how-it-is discussion about parenthood with one of her favorite new friends, Myleik Teele, a multi-hyphenate career woman, mom, and founder of CURLBOX. Myleik and Dr. Becky don't hold anything back: They share their experiences of their transitions to parenthood, why the first year is so hard, and what they wish people told them before becoming mothers. The two walk through creating an “emotional registry” that goes beyond swaddles, bottles, and toys to consider *your* needs as a person, not just a parent. They talk honestly about what you may lose when you bring a new child into your family. And they share scripts for talking with your partner, so you can enter parenthood feeling connected. While no podcast episode can single-handedly make parenthood any easier, this one will help you feel less alone in all the tricky moments that are sure to come.

Who runs the world? Real women do! On this episode of the podcast I brought together two women I admire and respect to talk about what it means to live authentically, how to navigate male dominated spaces and what leaving a legacy of hustle and respect looks like for a girl boss. Samm who goes by @gotsamm on social media is a strong, fierce entertainer, song writer and wife. When I met Samm she was in the process of setting her solo career ablaze. Since then, Samm has penned numerous chart topping songs for local musicians and has found her home behind the scenes coaching and developing young artists. With her connections and expertise, Samm launched #FreshFridays to showcase up and coming talent on her Instagram Live while still co-creating music and coaching individuals in her professional life. You can connect with Samm further at www.gotsamm.com Aesthetik. Art. Beauty. This perfectly describes Ilia Nikco. She is a graphic designer by trade, newly vegan and style icon. If you follow her @ilianicko on Instagram you know exactly what I mean. On this episode Ilia describes how she ended up moving to Atlanta by chance and through relationships built a career that placed her as the design talent behind large brands such as Curlbox.
Over the years many outstanding Black individuals who fought racism and oppression to achieve personal wealth and career success have graced my podcast. For the next 10 episodes - from today June 3rd through June 24 - I’ll be re-sharing and re-amplifying some of their voices and work, their stories of resilience, hard work and triumph. I’m calling this series BLACK WEALTH MATTERS. I announced this on Instagram earlier in the week. It is my small way of contributing to this human rights issue of racial equality. It’s the quickest action I know to take that would hopefully have a meaningful impact...to get us to unlearn, re-evaluate and better understand what it means to be a Black person in this country while trying to establish personal wealth. Thank you to everyone who responded to my announcement with guest recommendations for Black Wealth Matters. I’ve taken them all into account and keeping a folder and hoping to work my way to speaking to all of them - if not this month - in the coming months. Please keep the guest suggestions coming. Today -- We are revisiting my conversation with Myleik Teele from 2015. Myleik is the Atlanta-based founder and chief experience officer of Curlbox, the first exclusive monthly subscription box for naturally curly hair. curlBOX has major partnerships with brands and distributors including Procter & Gamble, Walmart, Target, and Shea Moisture, and more. A teacher at heart, her wildly popular, #MyTaughtYou podcast has become her global classroom where women from all walks of life tune in for guidance and a healthy dose of motivation to live life on their own terms. You just heard at the top of this show - a moment from our conversation - when she candidly opens up about her relationship with money. Even as a wealthy woman, she is, as she says, cautious with her money, perhaps overly cautious. To learn more about Myleik visit: mytaughtyou.com
This solo episode hosted by Shilene Aaron is a lost file she recently found. This episode was recorded in April, in the height of a very tough season. With recently returning back to with from maternity leave, then starting a new job and caring for a sickly child.....Shilene was going through some things! She talks about how she had to take a break from podcasting to get her life together. Just because she brands herself as a "Mama Mogul" she does not have it all together and wants other Mamas to know that it's ok to not have it all together. Take a break, and spend the time to do the things you need to do to feel whole and live well. During this tough season she was able to share some of her truths and offer enlightening and encouraging words for Mothers and Mommies to be. Each of our journeys are different and it takes each of us being transparent and informative of what we are going through to help break the cycle of suffering in silence. I hope you enjoy this inspirational episode and thank you so much for listening. Please remember to Rate; Review and share on social media and tag us.

Two weeks ago, the #MTYRetreat took place at Nizuc Resort and Spa in Cancun, Mexico. To say it was transformative...would be an understatement. I’ve enlisted @SwirlSuite Podcast co-host and producer Sarita Cheaves (@vinemeup) to help me unpack the magic behind CURLBOX founder Myleik Teele’s second annual retreat. 1:40 - In this episode, we’re going deep on our experiences at #MTYRetreat, the second annual retreat hosted by CURLBOX founder and CEO Myleik Teele. Myleik offers unfiltered advice on everything from business to parenthood on her “Myleik Teele’s podcast” platform. 2:42 - The #MTYRetreat was designed as “a curated getaway inspired by next-level luxury and the cultural experiences of Myleik.” The goal was the restore, transform and edify attendees. The MTYRetreat consisted of a 4-day, 3-night experience at Nizuc Resort and Spa, a AAA 5 Diamond Award-winning resort, complete with masterclass workshops, fireside chats/ cocktails and conversations, and so much dancing. 3:18 - Sarita was a first-time MTYRetreat attendee, and I was coming back for second year. In this episode we’re sharing our favorite takeaways and moments from the retreat. We have so much gratitude for the CURLBOX team, Myleik, Karleen Roy and The Vanity Group for making magic. 5:40 - Sarita introduction: Sarita is a wine writer and producer of "Swirl Suite,” a podcast that's all about wine, liquor, spirits, beer, and life. 6:30 - Who is Myleik? Founder and CEO of CURLBOX, Myleik’s receipts print THEMSELVES! She’s an entrepreneur and PR extraordinare and she’s so intensely devoted to black women gathering our resources, talents, and ambitions. 8:15 - How Sarita discovered Myleik: via Side Hustle Pro podcast! Sarita heard Myleik on an episode, and immediately had to acquaint herself with Myleik’s work. Sarita says Myleik’s words are incredible: “Her words of encouragement are extremely firm and clear. There’s no fluff. I love everything about it.” 9:20 - Myleik wanted to teach us what she didn’t know. So, she hosted #MTYRetreat with support from her multi-hyphenate baddie brigade: Bestselling author Luvvie Ajayi, ministry leader Sarah Jakes Roberts, Blavity founder Morgan DeBaun, creator of Karma Bliss and author of “Crystal Bliss” Devi Brown, “Insecure” star Yvonne Orji, style and fashion journalist extraordinaire Kahlana Barfield-Brown, and founder of XONecole Necole Kane. 10:00 - Sarita describes her first moments at MTYRetreat, from the flight touching down at the airport to pulling up at the Nizuc Resort and Spa lobby: “We touched down and I walked into the lobby. The scene from the lobby, where you can spot the water, left me breathless. I stood there for a moment and took it in, like, “Wow I don’t know what I’m in for, but my life is about to change.” 11:30 - The first night of the retreat was a fun dinner-cocktail party, complete with a gorgeously set, long dining table. There was such ease in the room as attendees mingled. Brionna says, “I kept feeling like everyone was putting in the same energy. Everyone wanted to be there. 12:07 - Sarita on arriving at the #MTYRetreat late, and how her roommate helped her ease into the experience, and the incredible wall of personalized menus! 14:30 - On Saturday, we began with a Saturday Sunrise Service and a morning word by Sarah Jakes Roberts, a ministry leader and best-selling author. Jakes-Roberts lead a Sunrise Service, where all were welcome to participate, dress in white, walk to the edge of the ocean on the beach, and share a spiritual yet grounding moment. 15:30 - Sarita and Brionna describe the beauty of watching the sunrise surrounded by dozens of black women, all wearing white. 16:30 - Sailing on “The Retreat by Myleik” catamaran! 17:30 - The elation of enjoying poolside champagne with wine writer/ expert and consultant Julia Coney!! 18:00 - There was a huge breadth of experiences and people present at the retreat. Not everyone needed to have a “side hustle” or have something “going on.” So much of the programming was directed toward pouring back into everyone who attended MTYRetreat. Seeing connections made in real-time, and watching the “accelerated collisions” was incredible. The moments of clarity and connection will keep reverberating. Nothing “ends” at the MTYRetreat--it’s where everything takes off. 20:00 - Sarita on connecting with #MTYRetreat attendees: “It felt nice to connect souls with people.” 20:35 - Sunday’s #MTYRetreat Masterclass series! To kick it off, Myleik invited at least a half dozen of the most interesting, multifaceted people in her world to offer insights. The first to masterclass speaker was Devi Brown, founder of lifestyle and wellness company Karma Bliss, and author of “Crystal Bliss.” Devi was so efervescent yet stabilizing. Her discussion on purpose:”Purpose is using your unique gifts, unique abilities to be of service to others.” 22:00 - Devi’s meditation according to Sarita: “We had to close our eyes, and respond to ourselves. She kept saying, “Who are you?” Not mom or wife--that’s who you are to others---who are YOU? Outside of a professional career or titles, who ARE you?! Devi also said, “You’re only you to yourself.” THINK ON THAT! 22:30 - Morgan DeBaun, founder of Blavity, offered a workshop about working smart. Why Sarita loved Morgan: “She took the emotion out of setting goals." 23:40 - Sarita on Morgan’s recommendation/ homework--separating CEO tasks from operating tasks. 24:45 - Yvonne Orji shut it DOWN with her energy, her story, and her vulnerability. 25:20 - Sarita discusses Yvonne’s story of success: “What resonate with me was that she (Yvonne) said she auditioned for “Insecure” for five times, because one person she was competing with was doing great, but they plateaued in the audition. However, as Yvonne kept coming back, she kept taking notes and getting better and better. The team said, ‘If she’s getting better just from notes, just imagine how great she’ll be with producers and a director.” WOW! 26:15 - Brionna’s favorite Yvonne quote: “I hate regret more than I hate fear.” 27:00 - How the level of courtesy at Nizuc Resort and Spa impacted us 28:50 - Much love to DJ and author Olivia Dope for keeping us dancing! 29:15 - Sarita’s MTYRetreat action item: Identifying CEO and operational tasks, a la Morgan deBaun. 30:40 - Brionna’s MTYRetreat action item: Be a good human, a la Yvonne Orji. Being considerate, compassionate and courteous are skills. Yes, you can be FAIR and NICE at the same time. Devi’s quote, “The lessons repeat as needed” HIT ME HARD! 32:15 - SO MUCH LOVE to Ms. Diana on the CURLBOX team, for being such a rockstar. Periodt. 33:05 - Final thoughts: MTYRetreat was worth it 100%! We’re still reaping the benefits, and will do so going forward. Sarita’s expectations were exceeded. She says, “I don’t know what I needed when I got there, but I certainly received it when I left.” 33:45 - Brionna’s #bribooks is from Sarita! “Lost in the City", a book of short stories about DC, by Edward P. Jones.

Myleik Teele is a black woman who has built a name for herself in a number of area. Not only has she revolutionized the way women address their curly hair needs as the founder of curlBOX, she’s also worked with brands such as Calvin Klein Cosmetics, The Grammy Awards, American Idol and Nike, as well as music artists Prince, Linkin Park and Travis Barker. Much of that was done through the creation of Art of Facts Public Relations, an agency that grew at a rapid speed and was recognized as one of the top boutique public relations firms in the industry during its short existence. This conversation features Myleik’s journey from service based business to subscription product business and highlights the lessons she’s learned on that journey. What is a subscription based product business? Myleik’s journey led her to create a premier hair sampling box that’s developed a cult following of savvy women. The brand has amassed over 300k Instagram followers and created the popular web series, curlBOX TV, that gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at their favorite hair care brands. It’s an “out of the box” product business that enables people to receive their desired products like clockwork without hassle through a simple subscription service. On this episode Myleik shares some powerful lessons she’s learned and the adjustments she’s had to make in order to confidently stand in the power it takes to be so successful. What kind of mindset does it take for a black woman to be so successful? When you look at the prospect of being successful, it’s one thing to plan and work for what you want, but there are very particular and powerful mindsets you have to develop in order to rightly handle that success. It may sound crazy but it’s true. Myleik Teele shares with Rosetta how difficult it was for her to be comfortable in the level of success that’s come from her hard work and the adjustments she had to make in the realm of her thinking to make it possible. You’ll gain a lot from this episode if you’ll take the time to listen and apply it to yourself. Do you have a trusted 3rd party to give you feedback as you succeed? Success can be lonely. It sounds like an unbelievable thing but it’s true. Myleik Teele discovered that as she’s become more and more successful the people in her life began to assume that everything in her world was OK, and as a result she began to withdraw from her in terms of emotional and personal support. There was no harm meant, it just happened as an outgrowth of how success changed those personal dynamics. Myleik discovered that she needed a trusted 3rd party to help her assess her own emotional and mental health so she could stay on the right track. You can find something to help you on your journey in this episode. You need good things to do great things as a black woman entrepreneur. Though a support network is very important to any successful entrepreneur, there are also things you need to pay attention to in terms of self care. Myleik Teele has discovered that some of the good things she needs in her life is good food, rest, good boundaries, and much more. You want to hear what she’s got to share on this episode so that you don’t have to learn these lessons the hard way. Myleik has a very refreshing and honest perspective on this issue and can give you some great insight into yourself and the things you’ll have to navigate on your journey to success.
