In this episode I had the privilege of speaking with Gerrika Bunche about what it actually looks like to “Take The Leap.” Rika's inspiring story will encourage you to take the step of faith because your life AND someone else's certainly depends on it!     Gerrikka Bunche, affectionately known as Rika B., is a wife, mother, coach, entrepreneur, and friend. She is also a “Mom Enthusiast” which is very befitting as she fulfills her purpose and passion for inspiring and motivating mothers to break society's “just a mom” standard. Rika B. obtained her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from NC Central University in 2010. Her HBCU Love Story, friendships, and experience play an intricate role in her success. There are parts of her dear ol' NCCU in every aspect of her life- love, business, family, etc. and she is honored to be #NCCUMade.      In 2015 Rika launched Childish, an international brand and headquarters for dope tees and has been a #MamaOnTheGrind ever since. After several moments of desiring a space to network with other moms in the RDU area who are balancing babies and business as well, she created what she wished existed and launched Mom Redefined in January 2017. Mom Redefined is the platform used to encourage moms to chase their dreams as hard as they chase their kids. From this great venture, The Lounge NC was opened in Triangle Town Center Mall in Raleigh, NC. The Mom Lounge is a one stop shop for the Mama on the Grind that features co-working spaces, shopping exclusively with MOMpreneurs, Mommy ThinkTanks, and so much more. Originally from Robersonville, NC, Gerrikka now resides in Raleigh, NC with her husband, Terrence Sr, and their children- Terrence II (Deuce) and Taylor (Bee). A God fearing woman addicted to random dance battles with Deuce, blowing bubbles with Bee, Target runs, traveling, and all things fun and random, she somehow finds a way to balance it all. Rika B. is rooting for everybody Mom'n and doing everything she can to pave the way for the millennial mom, redefined.Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review!

www.greenheffafarms.comifundwomen.com/projects/leveling-the-planting-field.Clarenda "Farmer Cee" Stanley is a fifth-generation farmer, originally from Annie Manie, Alabama. She did not set out in life to follow on her family's agrarian path. But in 2017, she found herself returning to her roots as the CEO of Green Heffa Farms (GHF), a medicinal plant and hemp farm in Liberty, NC. As one of the first black women to be licensed in North Carolina, she was selected as the 2019 Featured Farmer for Hemp History Week, the nation's largest grassroots campaign for the federal legalization of industrial hemp. She has been featured in more than 200 national and international publications, including April’s Oprah O Magazine, and is a well-sought after speaker at national conferences. An award-winning fundraising and marketing professional, Cee is currently a senior principal gifts officer at The Nature Conservancy's World Office. She is the first black American to hold this title at the world's largest environmental organization. In this role, Cee manages a global portfolio of high net worth donors. She also recently assumed leadership for developing the organization's first philanthropic inclusion program, strategically helping the organization broaden its donor constituency to achieve its conservation goals. Previously Cee worked as VP for Advancement at Shaw University in Raleigh, NC, Director of Development and Communications for the Lucy Daniels Foundation and was a Major Gifts Officer at NC Central University. Green Heffa Farms is one of very few black-owned farms in Chatham County and perhaps the only one growing hemp that is led by a black woman. Transitioning to organic, it will also be another rarity - a minority woman owned USDA certified organic farm. The farm is committed to best practices in regenerative agriculture. It seeks to create a learning lab where aspiring and current farmers can gain critical skills in boutique hemp and medicinal plant cultivation, production, and needed business skills. GHF hopes to increase the number of socially and ecologically conscious farmers, with a focus on underrepresented populations. Cee has earned a bachelors in marketing from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and a masters degree in education from Troy University. In 2016, she selected by her peers as the 2016 Association for Fundraising Professionals, Triangle Chapter Fundraiser of the Year and in 2017, received the C-Suite Award for Nonprofit Leadership. Cee has also earned the coveted Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation.

LeVelle Moton recently had his jersey retired by NC Central University, where he starred as a basketball player and is now the head coach. After leading his team to 3 NCAA Tournaments, he is one of the most recognized coaches at (and advocates for) an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). His team was recently featured in a great ESPN story on the not-so-glorious road on the life for smaller athletic programs. His phone includes numbers to some of the best basketball players in the world--LeBron James, Chris Paul, etc--with whom he regularly communicates. We could talk basketball with him for hours.So, of course, we covered NONE of those things in our hour-long chat with him. Instead, we listened to LeVelle tell his inspirational, and sometimes horrifying, story of how he came to Raleigh and grew up on the east side of town. Whether he was at the Boys and Girls Club, which his mother approved of, or at the small park near his house, which she decidedly did NOT approve of, he was learning from his environment and also learning how to move beyond it. We talked with LeVelle about his life experience and how that shaped who he is and how he's chosen to give back to his community.Before the interview, we discuss the upcoming NC primary election, the passing of an influential musician from Raleigh, and and new development being planned off Atlantic Avenue near Whitaker Mill Road. And we discuss some of Raleigh's best "small" parks.Special thanks to our sponsor, Steele Residential--check them out for buying, selling or renting!Subscribe/rate Podcast Raleigh on your favorite podcast sites:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-raleigh/id1458907220Google: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Inzk5woxrsjwf3zhd5vv3av4yeiStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcast-raleighSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6b3dVvLJfO0EqvDGQaFTAP?si=QrcfEq8WSE2h3aEZSGV0pQ
