Black women have been excellent in business for years but only recently have industries begun the slow shift to welcoming us as we climb the ranks. Bonita Stewart, Vice President of Global Partnerships at Google is one woman who has - as she calls it - “a mindset of not being othered.” Instead, she says, “I don’t mind being the pioneer but I won’t be the only one.” Her path to success in the tech world is marked by determination and close examples like her father. On this episode of UnBossed Bonita shares the lessons she’s learned as a trailblazer and the commitments she’s made to bringing others with her straight to the top.

We love when we get to dig into the stories of Black women who’ve demanded fair pay since...childhood and built thriving businesses serving their community from scratch. That’s right, childhood. Today’s guest, Sherrell Dorsey (@sherrell_dorsey), the founder of The Plug Daily - started getting paid from a little girl, and hasn’t accepted anything less than her full worth since. But that doesn't mean that it's Easy Street. There are real sacrifices and stretched checks that go along with entrepreneurship. And Dorsey's business - The Plug Daily - is a service that “investigates and reports on Black tech trends, stories, and breaking news with a rigor and analysis you won’t find elsewhere.” Data, diversity and quality journalism are the foundational tools Dorsey employs to make sure underserved and under-covered entrepreneurs and their companies get the shine they deserve amidst the technology boom. Keep listening to hear Sherrell’s story. #UnBossed PodcastUnBossed Host: Marquita Harris (@marquita_harris_)Executive Producer: Tiffany Ashitey (@misstiffsays)Producers: Ashley Hobbs (@ashleylatruly) + Shantel Holder (@shadesofshan_)Bookings: Marquita Harris, Tiffany AshiteyAudio: Anthony Frasier (@anthonyfrasier) + Josh Gwynn (@regardingjosh) Music: Gold Standard Creative (@gscdotnyc)Designer: Imani Nuñez (@profoundly_imani)

Those who excel in life rarely do so by playing it safe. The same can be said for Noëlle Santos (@1st.noelle), the 33-year-old proprietress of the only bookstore in The Bronx, a community of over 1 million people. On this episode, Noëlle breaks down how she brought a bookstore home to her community in a time when many (mistakenly) thought indie bookstores weren’t thriving - and how she did it all without giving up even a little bit of her own interests, style, or convictions. (Bonus: There may or may not be a rap buried somewhere in this episode!) Use #UnBossedPodcast to tell us, what’s the goal you’re tunnel visioning toward like Noëlle?

Today we're going to talk about the one thing that, surprisingly, a LOT of women are STILL too shy to discuss. Caring for our ‘Ginas. Whether we're partnered or not, sexually active or not - we NEED to be thinking about (and properly tending to) our vaginas. So, today, I'm talking to the incomparable Dr. Jackie Walters (@therealdrjackie). You may know her as gynecologist to one of your favorite Atlanta housewives or as a cast member of Bravo's Married To Medicine. She is an award-winning OBGYN, philanthropist, women's advocate, tv personality, and she's on a mission to impact the lives of millions. Her new book, “The Queen V: Everything You Need To Know About Sex Intimacy and Down There Healthcare” is full of wisdom about caring for our ginas, different ways to better relate to her and how to identify what type of relationship we have with her. We have been fed so much misinformation about our intimate areas so we need people like Dr. Jackie to break it down for us! Ready? Let's get into it!

Huddle up, y’all. We’ve recently realized that the whole world has been using the word ‘epic’ way too loosely. We realized this after attending the party that seemed to never stop over this past weekend. We know you heard about it. You were probably at the bar with us! DJ D-Nice, founding member of Boogie Down Productions, and beloved turntablist all over the world, hosted a virtual party so EPIC that it brought us all together in a way that only good music and a GREAT DJ can do. So, of course we had to talk to the music man himself and get the scoop on how it all started. He’s so humble! And this convo - along with the way he brought us together in a time of international crisis - is solidified as an official Yes, Girl! Favorite. We hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Whips, chains, tight leather and a safe word thrown in for good measure. That's what most of us think of when we hear the word ‘kink'. But what if I told you our view is severely skewed and limited because of the porn industry and movie franchises like Fifty Shades? What if I told you that the world of kink is deeper and more intricate than bringing handcuffs into the boudoir? On this episode, professional dominatrix Taylor Freeman aka The Chocolate Domme "Mistress Marley" breaks down the ins, outs, and subcultures within kink and how to know if you are, in fact, a kinky person. She also gives us the scoop on how she became a professional dominatrix and how she is teaching other Black women to own their sexual power and become dominatrixes as well!

Sis! Can we talk? When was the last time you actually had an orgasm? Recent studies show that almost half of women either struggle with or just do not have…orgasms. Girl, what? Climaxing (properly) is a sexual topic that remains hush-hush among women, even in 2019. But today is a new day. This can't happen and we want to help. On this episode of The Solve, we checked in with clinical sexologist Nikki Morgan (@NikkiExperience) to get a deep-dive into what it actually means to orgasm and to help us dispel the myths about orgasms that have kept women from enjoying sex (or masturbation) to the fullest.
