Inspired by the words of her daughter, Kiesha Garrison took a leap from the tech industry into stand-up comedy, public speaking, and entrepreneurship - a terrifying thrill ride. Though shaking with nerves on stage, she found the laughs fueled a passion she couldn't deny. Now, through “Hey, Black Seattle!”, Kiesha is building community and guiding people to empowering resources. Tune in as Kiesha shares how rising above fear allowed her to inspire others to realize their fullest potential. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Facing discomfort in career transition Finding direction through curiosity Kiesha's YOU Better! Platform Escaping the inner cage of outer expectations Empowering individuals through self-reflection Connecting communities with Hey, Black Seattle! Episode Highlights: [05:17] Facing discomfort in career transition The process of career transition often brings feelings of discomfort and uncertainty. Learn to  sit with those feelings and understand what you truly need rather than trying to eliminate discomfort. [07:33] Finding direction through curiosity When faced with discomfort and wanting to change paths, her biggest question was "Who do I want to matter to?". Asking herself this helped drive where she applied her skills and talents. [15:15] Finding what sparks joy in your life A quote from poet Alok that asks “What part of yourself did you have to destroy in order to survive in this world?” Sitting with this question allows for deep inner reflection. Maybe you wanted to be a painter but due to reasons like fears, obligations, or guilt, it set you on a different path away from your passion and joy.  [22:18] Escaping the inner cage of outer expectations If you continue living to please or convince those closest to you who haven't supported your authentic self, you're keeping yourself caged from fully embracing who you are meant to be. [23:39] Find freedom through community If you're unhappy, ask yourself what brings you joy and seek out others engaged in that same passion. Experiencing it together will boost your confidence to fully embrace your happiness. [27:53] Let your dreams be free Kiesha's daughter's simple yet powerful encouragement of "let your dreams be free!" sparked Kiesha to start pursuing her bucket list dreams without hesitation. [36:11] Two ways to challenge self-doubt First, stop over estimating everyone around you. Stop undervaluing the work you need to do to rise to the occasion you want to rise to.  Resources Mentioned: YOU Better!

In this Episode Asher catches up with their Best. Friend. Kiesha (it's a private joke) in what was meant to be a review of Jessica Wilson's amazing debut book "IT'S ALWAYS BEEN OURS: REWRITING THE HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN'S BODIES". Not quite the intellectual analysis that they had planned, this is essentially a conversation between two good friends, one of whom has to navigate the world as a Black Fat Woman. Kiesha shares her own experience of her body and adds to the already rich conversation that Wilson shares in her book. If you enjoy this podcast and would like to support Asher so that they can continue making them, you can join them on Patreon.

Tomasina Boone is the founder of The Curls and Natural Hair Beauty Place, a unique space that is the only service provider of it's kind in Sydney to provide a retail shop for great quality products and a beauty space dedicated to the care, maintenance, and styling of naturally curly hair.  As a former Essence Magazine Advertising Beauty Director, Tomasina moved to Sydney, Australia 15 years ago with her hubby (lawyer and former NAACP board member) and 1 year old daughter.When leaving the USA she was constantly asked two questions: one, are there any Black people there? And two, who is going to do your hair? Tomasina's hair was relaxed at the time so she thought nothing of it.  But years later, Tomasina finally went natural (begrudgingly) and her hair fell out. This inspired her to purchase an e-commerce business to supply imported products from the States for natural and curly hair. What started out as a business to support expats quickly expanded into a market and knowledge place for all kinds of clients and curly hair textures. In this conversation, Tomasina shares with Kiesha how her sense of self evolved through her changes in geography, career, and through her journey with her hair.Episode Resources:https://www.curlsandnaturalhair.com.au/Curls And Natural Hair (@curls_and_natural_hair) • Instagram photos and videosBooks: The Complete Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Neale Donald Walsch In Search of Satisfaction, J California CooperFor Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, Ntozake ShangeContact InfoWant Kiesha to host a YOU Better! experience for your team?
