Hey, friend. Hello, Change Makers. In the words of Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown—Hey, Black girl. We often say it takes a village, but let's be clear—villages don't build themselves. They're shaped, sustained, and often revived by Black mothers who know what it means to care, connect, and carry more than their share. Today's guest, Jetaun Woodley, didn't just recognize the gap—she built something from it. As a veteran communications strategist and Senior Director at Planned Parenthood, Jetaun has spent her career making sure messages that matter reach the right people. But it's her work outside the boardroom that's building legacy: creating H.U. Mommies, a thriving community of over 800 Hamptonian mothers who show up for one another, online and in real life. In this episode, we're unpacking how Black motherhood is often the foundation of community organizing, mutual care, and everyday advocacy. From navigating health care systems and education challenges to disaster relief and doula recommendations, these mothers are doing far more than sharing parenting tips—they're reshaping what support looks like. Jetaun joins Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown and me for a conversation that's both grounding and galvanizing. We talk about the power of peer support, the courage it takes to create a space when one doesn't exist, and what it looks like to protect and evolve a community you've built—especially when the work is personal. If you've ever questioned whether your care counts or whether creating something small could really matter, this conversation is your reminder: it already does. Listen now and be sure to grab the National Black Girl Month™ Toolkit for more ways to connect at nationalblackgirlmonth.com. To our Hampton fam—we see you. And if you're a mama looking for your people, you just might find them in H.U. Mommies. Connect with Jetaun Woodly on Instagram Jetaun Woodly is an award winning public relations and brand communications strategist with 20 years of experience. She has an unwavering passion and focus on working with individuals and companies to translate business goals and objectives into strategic communications plans and deliverables. Jetaun started her career as a public relations coordinator for Novartis Pharmaceuticals' philanthropy and community development division. She spent many years working in healthcare managing public relations for brands ranging from prescription drugs and FDA approvals, to eye care and over-the-counter products before moving to the nonprofit sector. Currently, Jetaun serves as Senior Director of Brand Strategy & Projects at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, a reproductive health care nonprofit organization. Prior to joining PPFA, Jetaun served as Director of Network Marketing & Communications for National Court Appointed Special Advocate/Guardian ad Litem (CASA/GAL) Association for Children, a non-profit organization that supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home, and the opportunity to thrive. Following the birth of her son in 2015, Jetaun started HU Mommies Group - a support group for Hampton University alumnae. The goal of the group is to share advice, empower Black women, and provide a listening ear as Hamptonians embrace and embark on their motherhood journey. With more than 800 members, the group has planned a number of volunteer efforts across the country, vision board meetups, kid-friendly outings, tailgates at homecoming and a host of other activities. For example, when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston in 2017, Jetaun coordinated a group donation to local organizations that support mothers and children. In 2019, the group collectively donated to Hampton University's marching band, and sent care packages to current students. In an effort to provide unique learning experiences for the children of alumnae during the nationwide shelter-in-place (COVID19), Jetaun created virtual learning classes on a variety of subjects. Jetaun was featured on Essence Magazine Online for her work with the group. In 2020, Jetaun was admitted into Hampton University's Forty Under 40 Alumni Recognition Society. Jetaun served as a volunteer for the I Have a Dream Foundation - a mentor program in partnership with Ebenezer Baptist Church and St. Luke's Church in the heart of Atlanta. She is currently a board member of Atlanta Birth Center, a birth center dedicated to empowering families and providing compassionate, individualized birth experiences. A native of New Jersey, Jetaun received a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from Hampton University's Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications in 2004. While at Hampton, Jetaun was involved in Student Union Board and served as historian for the National Council of Negro Women. She also holds a Masters in Communication & Leadership from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Jetaun resides in Metro Atlanta with her husband, Dr. Shaun Woodly (HU '04), and their two children - Brayden and Brooklynn.

Nugget of Hope: "Be more open to trust." Michael Hingson, blind since birth, was born in Chicago to sighted parents who believed in raising their son with a can-do attitude. Treated like all other children in his family, Michael rode a bike, did advanced math in his head, and learned to read and write – Braille, that is! Michael Hingson's life changed dramatically on September 11, 2001, when he and his guide dog, Roselle, escaped from the 78th floor of Tower One in the World Trade Center moments before it collapsed. Michael wrote a book about his experience, Thunder Dog, which became a New York Times Best Seller, and soon after, Michael and Roselle were thrust into the international limelight, where Michael began to share his unique survival story and 9-11 lessons of trust, courage, heroism, and teamwork. Michael is now the author of three books and hosts The Unstoppable Mindset Podcast.

“We ended up with over 2,000 recruiting firms buying our training model. But after 2 years, I was just bored out of my mind! Once a month we were doing the exact same 5-day training. I missed doing the executive searches myself. That's just what my passion was, that's what I loved doing and where my talent was. So, we ended up re-acquiring our old company. I think one of the goals every human should have is to find something they sincerely love doing, and then doing it well enough that they can make a living from it. I found that! I found that in the executive search business.” Gene Rice's business career includes working for a Fortune 100 firm–where he was promoted 5 times in 7 years–to co-founding Rice Cohen International, a successful executive search firm. He has placed over 1,000 C-level executives while mentoring many young professionals. In 2008, Gene and his wife started a nonprofit charity, The Plant a Seed Inspire a Dream Foundation, which has enabled over 800 children from low-income households to pursue their passions. Gene and his daughter, a teacher, have recently co-authored the book “Grad to Grown-Up.”

Welcome to Episode 28: Mindset, Motivation & Goal Setting w/ Tasha-Nicole Terani Tasha-Nicole Terani is a former model turned humanitarian. 9x World Record Holder in Soccer, Creator and CEO of the TNT Soccer Training System, Founder of the Every Child's Dream Foundation 501 c3 for orphaned and abandoned babies and children. She is a United Nations Special Envoy for International Youth Soccer and  an author of a new children's book series, A Tree for Me, which focuses on unconditional love.  In this episode, Tasha-Nicole bravely details her story about what it was like to be abandoned as a baby in the streets of Tehran, Iran. She remarks on the pain this intense life experience inflicted on her at such an early age. Tasha is a master at mindset, and she believes that while there is no "getting over" the pain, she reminds our listeners of the power of transforming their pain and harnessing a mindset that focuses on what's possible. Tasha shares the journey of starting her non-profit, breaking records, and creating her soccer company, which all stemmed from this deep emotional place within. She describes how she was processing deep pain, yet the outside world got to see her major accomplishments. This speaks to her ability to alchemize deep pain into massive purpose. She shares that, due to being abandoned on the side of the road, she was deprived of the experience that babies get to bond with their mothers' heartbeat. She feels she instinctually aligned herself with the heartbeat of the universe. Tasha gives perspective, advice, and insight on setting goals, having a mindset that wins, and how we can use our life experiences to drive us to greatness. We discuss where success is found, the power of vision boards, and the importance of setting a date to accomplish goals. Tasha-Nicole talks about taking leaps of faith, having the courage to follow her instinct, and being brave enough to shift her life in a powerful moment of decision. Tasha leaves our listeners with a passionate direction to create sustainable daily routines that lead to the mastery of mindset, motivation, and goal setting.

When Akim Aliu was a young boy, he and his family moved to Canada. His parents wanted a better life for their two sons. Akim's father is Nigerian, and his mother Ukrainian. Whether they lived in Ukraine, Nigeria, or Canada, the family faced discrimination and bigotry. Things didn't improve when Akim developed a love of ice hockey. Money was tight, and the sport wasn't welcoming to children of color. Still, Akim's parents did everything they could to help him follow his dreams. Akim made it all the way to the National Hockey League. But he faced systemic racism at every level of the game. He's now speaking out in the hope that a new generation of young athletes won't have to endure the brutality he did. In this Black History Month episode, Akim talks with host Suzanne McCabe about Dreamer, his new graphic memoir for 8- to 12-year-olds.

My story is one that had a lot of trials and tribulations, but I also learned a lot through my journey.” “It's a book to inspire people who are going through tough times, to know that anything is possible. I'm a kid who was born in Africa who ended up making it to the NHL.” “Hockey . . . is my passion, and it's my love. I'm glad I got those $10 pair of skates, because they gave me an opportunity to be where I am today.” “Starting at such an early age, at 11, 12 years old, and hearing the N-word being hurled at you, and not being able to do anything about it…. The hardest thing about it was just never, ever playing with anybody else who looked like me.” “In my 12 years that I played professionally, I played with one other player of color…. There's not really anybody to turn to that you can have a conversation with, that would understand what you're going through.” “There are a lot of kids who look like me and come from the areas that I come from that also deserve an opportunity and deserve not to be excluded from our game.” “For me, dreaming and faith go hand in hand because . . . it's believing in something that you can't yet see.” “I hope kids don't give up on their dreams.” → Special Thanks Producer: Constance Gibbs Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl → Coming Soon Ruchira Gupta: I Kick and I Fly Brian Selznick: Big Tree

Jade Hendricks is a woman on a mission. Or rather, a two-part mission – to lead by example and drive results in her role as AVP of Investor Ops at a private equity firm and to use her unique skill set to help shift the perspective of wealth and legacy in disenfranchised communities. Jade sits down with Tone and Larry for a candid conversation around all things related to growing up in Milwaukee, financial empowerment, and racial equity. After sitting down with Jade, at least one thing is clear—she personifies the African proverb “Each One, Teach One”.  Excerpt from an online article: “Her foundational childhood experiences and her learnings at Morgan Stanley drove Hendricks to a deeper calling - to transfer her wealth management and financial literacy skills to help educate and empower underserved communities. She is actively involved in teaching financial literacy and providing 1:1 mentoring, and college and scholarship coaching to dozens of high school students through her roles with nonprofits SecureFutures and ArtWorks for Milwaukee. She also recently launched her "Building the Dream Foundation," which is a scholarship fund of her own to award two high school students with a college scholarship each year, and she shares tips through her "Personal Finance Fridays" newsletter and as host of the Corporate Creative Podcast.” More About Jade:Jade I. Hendricks is the Assistant Vice President of Investor Operations at MLG Capital, a Financial Education Instructor (CFEI), and host of the Corporate Creative podcast. While her day job focuses on managing operations and communications, by night she is using her platforms to educate and empower Black and brown students and professionals.Jade graduated from Fisk University in Nashville, TN, with a dual degree in Business Administration and Spanish. She then moved to Chicago, where she worked for Morgan Stanley in a number of roles, including Operations, Business Development, DEI and Wealth Education. In 2018, Jade finally returned home for what she thought was a pit stop on her way to her next destination. After getting involved with local organizations including SecureFutures and ArtWorks for Milwaukee, she decided to pursue a job opportunity in the city and landed a role with MLG.Jade's overall mission is to surround herself with people who reflect the way she wants to see the world: diverse, engaging and evolving.https://www.twentysomethinandblack.com/blog/tag/Jade+Hendricks https://mlgcapital.com/mlg-team/jade-i-hendricks-2/ https://www.accesswire.com/709969/MLG-Capitals-Jade-Hendricks-Named-Woman-of-Influence-by-GlobeSt-Real-Estate-ForumTap in:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/corporate-creative-podcast/id1507698505https://www.linkedin.com/in/jadeihendricks/https://www.jadeihendricks.com/Welcome to the ScholarChip$ Podcast hosted by Tone Gaines and Larry Alexander.

Did you know that more than 50% of executives struggle to feel satisfied with their work?   It's important to have a sense of purpose around your job; the feeling that you've contributed, that you're respected, and that your work matters. Today, I'm speaking with Gene Rice, the Founder and CEO of Rice Cohen International, which provides executive search and consulting services to a premier list of global clients across the Learning & Development, Ed Tech, and Management Consulting fields. Gene has personally helped place more than 1000 executives, and has a deep understanding of what companies are looking for in senior management. Over his thirty years of experience in the search industry, Gene discovered several important trends. While corporations are seeking people that meet "standard metrics," those that excel have a proven track record of building growth. Gene explains that the most valuable executives are those who found a sense of purpose that drives their success - and their job satisfaction. For years, Gene had been recording life lessons that he would share with interns at his firm. These lessons led to questions which showed how ill equipped many young adults are to start their personal and professional lives. This realization was the driving reason for Gene to collaborate with his daughter, Courtney Bejgrowicz, and write 68 Tips to Excel in Your Personal and Professional Life. This book gives Gene's experienced tips for life, job search, career, and personal finances, while adding Courtney's comments to give her perspective as a teacher and mother, and the understanding of the younger generation. The passion to help others with the book extends beyond the hope that people can learn a thing or two from it. Gene and his wife created The Plant a Seed Inspire a Dream Foundation which provides annual scholarships for children ages 10 to 18, to pursue passions and interests outside of school. With this foundation, they work to inspire young people from low-income households with life-altering athletic, artistic, musical and creative activities led by positive role models.   Three Key Takeaways: * Those seeking a role as a senior executive will need a proven track record of building growth, to get ahead of their competition. *  It's important for an executive to have a sense of personal purpose, and to share that passion and drive with others. *  A good match between an executive and company means feeling like you can make a real contribution, and drive your personal as well as professional goals.

The five sections—life, job search, career, personal finance, and health and relationships—provide real-world insights that are often overlooked in formal education. GENE RICE is a leading executive retained recruiter, placing over 1000 executives while building one of the largest search firms in the world. He is also chairman of Rice Cohen International, and co-founder of the Plant a Seed Inspire a Dream Foundation, which has helped over 700 children pursue their passions.  He brings a desire to help others to all he does. Introducing Gene Rice What problem do you solve? How do you create great professional success? What three problems do you solve? He will share three things that help lead to a long-term fit between a company and a candidate. He will give questions that will quickly help determine if someone is a fit. He will share simple tips that can be incorporated into the company that may change the culture and help change profits. Show Notes: There are three things to look for when trying to find a long term hire: Any candidate that joins a corporation should feel they can add value to it. A year after joining, new hires should be able to step back and examine the multiple ways that they have grown professionally. New hires need to respect and like the people they work with. If they don't have a rapport with their boss, they will be unhappy and will leave. If you're doing a behavior-based interview, you have to connect with your interviewee. You want someone to feel that you care about them upfront. Be upfront when you schedule an interview. What got you intrigued to talk to us? Gene asks potential hires several things: I really want to understand your background. When were you the happiest professional and what was happening to make that so? What do you enjoy most about your current position at your current company? If you were the CEO of your current company, what would you change about it? If I were to give you a magic wand to create your ideal company and job for yourself, what would you create? What would the culture be like? What questions do you still need to have addressed to make sure this is a good fit for the both of us? Help your staff and help your company create purpose. They want a greater purpose. The first of every month Gene does a month-end review. He reviews the five goals that an employee has set and managed. It's important to recognize employees for the things that they did well that month. A month-end review lets businesses keep in touch with their people. Gene tries to positively impact as many people as possible every day. Bring in interns to your business. At the end of an eight-week program, you'll know if you want to hire any of them. For interns, they should ask themselves if they can see themselves doing this and staying happy doing this once they have finished their eight weeks. If you go out of your way to reach out to people, they will want to go out to lunch with you and vouch for you. Support your kids' passions. Help them find how to create a career from what they love. Gene's book has 68 tips that covers areas of life, interviewing, health, relationships, and personal finances.
