If you've been listening to this show or following me then you know how special of a sit down this was for me. My first check came from writing with XONecole and here we are years later. Necole has built brand after brand and has been sharing her stories of success and lessons but her current business is one that women have needed. MyHappyFlo her women's wellness brand has been tackling fibroids and other menstrual and hormonal issues that women are having and the results have been amazing. Necole credits her memories with her mother and the overwhelming cry that has been ignored in the healthcare system for her desire to create change and show up fully for other women. The pain of your cycle has to be addressed and women deserve to be heard. Outside of that we discussed what does life look like now? Hobbies and love and of course pleasure. This interview covered everything! MyHappyFlo Watch on Youtube Vanlife "I am Home"

Media mogul Necole Kane lives a lifestyle of abundance. The serial entrepreneur talks to Ashley about overcoming rock bottom moments in her career after finding global success as celebrity gossip blogger, Necole Bitchie. Necole says her unwavering belief that her purpose was always greater than “giving good tea” led her to sunset her blog and launch XONecole, a women's lifestyle brand. Years after losing her mother to breast cancer, Necole pivoted once more to launch My Happy Flo, a women's wellness brand focused on holistic health. Despite personal and professional trials, Necole believes maintaining a positive mindset led her to her life's work: helping women care for their bodies.Want more podcasts from OWN?

STOP EVERYTHING!! Our interview with THE Hannah V. Sawyerr is here!!! And just in time for the release of her highly anticipated YA ⁠#MeToo⁠ novel in verse: ALL THE FIGHTING PARTS Hannah V. Sawyerr was recognized as the Youth Poet Laureate of Baltimore in 2016. Her spoken word has been featured on the BBC's World Have Your Say program, as well as the National Education Association's “Do You Hear Us?” campaign. Her written word has been included in Essence, gal-dem, and xoNecole. She holds a BA in English from Morgan State University and an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School. Sawyerr is an English professor at Loyola Marymount University and lives in Los Angeles, California. ALL THE FIGHTING PARTS is her debut novel. ⁠https://www.hannahsawyerr.com/ ⁠ (Book blurb from Goodreads) In the vein of Grown and The Poet X, (ALL THE FIGHTING PARTS is) a searing and defiant novel in verse about reclaiming agency after a sexual assault within the church community. Sixteen-year-old Amina Conteh has always believed in using her tongue as her weapon—even when it gets her into trouble. After cursing at a classmate, her father forces her to volunteer at their church with Pastor Johnson.    But Pastor Johnson isn't the holy man everyone thinks he is.  The same voice Amina uses to fight falls quiet the night she is sexually assaulted by Pastor Johnson. After that, her life starts to unravel: her father is frustrated that her grades are slipping, and her best friend and boyfriend don't understand why the once loud and proud girl is now quiet and distant. In a world that claims to support survivors, Amina wonders who will support her when her attacker is everyone's favorite community leader.  When Pastor Johnson is arrested for a different crime, the community is shaken and divided; some call him a monster and others defend him. But Amina is secretly relieved. She no longer has to speak because Pastor Johnson can't hurt her anymore–or so she believes.  To regain her voice and sense of self, Amina must find the power to confront her abuser—in the courtroom and her heart—and learn to use all the fighting parts within her.

BIO:Sip & Share Wines is a boutique winery producing a diversity of handcrafted vegan wines. We're passionate about creating community with wine, especially for wine lovers often overlooked and underrepresented by the wine industry. Our wines are approachable to all palates, fun and made to sip and share. Purchase a bottle or join the wine club at sipandsharewines.com.In January 2019, Sip & Share Wines released the 7 Words Wine Collection, all of the wines are vegan. In January 2020, we released the Gem Collection of limited production wines.Sip & Share Wines Conjure Zinfandel was featured in Forbes Magazine as one of the 10 drinks for the summer. Nicole Kearney, Sip & Share Wines' Winemaker/Founder was named one of 40 African American Tastemakers (Under/Over 40) by Sabrina Jackson.We've participated in The Hue Society's  The Black Wine Experience wine tasting and Roses & Rose' Brunch at Essence Fest in 2019 and 2018 in New Orleans. Being there lead to being named by Kiarra Sylvester as one of “5 Black- Owned Wines You Should Be Sipping Right Now” published on Xonecole.com.The Indianapolis Recorder has followed our growth with two stories that show where we are now and where we began.Nicole's serious relationship with wine began in 2008, when she attended graduate school for her Master in Fine Arts (MFA) in Dramatic Writing at Spalding University, Low Residency MFA program, in Louisville, Kentucky. Surrounded by writers of all genres – playwrights, screenwriters, fiction, non-fiction, and poets they shared about their lives and craft while sipping wine. Over two years, they would continue to sip and share wines with each other. It was there her passion for wine knowledge and the spark for her future endeavor was ignited.In 2011, Nicole's good friend Mark gifted her a 32 bottle wine refrigerator as a housewarming gift. Of course, she had to fill it! She had a party asking people to bring wine. She gave them some parameters (She drank red almost exclusively at that time) and sent her friends on a wine hunt around town. It was an incredible success. Her guests got to try different wines and her wine chest was magically filled. Little did she know, she had just hosted her first home wine tasting.In December 2013, her friend Niesha invited her to a wine tasting. She accepted without hesitation. The hostess, Marla graciously welcomed Nicole into her home. The wine tasting was fantastic, conducted by an independent representative of a national home wine tasting company. Nicole tasted new wines, beginning a love affair with South African wines. The group of women she was introduced to that night bonded over their enjoyment of wine. They decided to host a party monthly at each other's homes.In January 2014, Nicole's friend had a wine tasting in her home. The time for the tasting to begin was approaching, Nicole asked “Where was the ‘wine lady?' Her friend answered she didn't know. She had not talked to her in a month. Having a house full of guests, Nicole gathered a few of her wines then called a friend, Taffanee and asked to “borrow” a few more bottles. She brought a case. That night Nicole became ‘The Wine Lady.'Nicole guided the guests through a tasting of twelve wines from around the world, sharing what she learned with others. That night she helped many people find their way from, “I only drink…” to, “Wow, this wine is delicious.” This  gave me great pleasure. Her friends suggested she consider getting into the wine business. She started doing some initial research, then moved on with my life. She had plays and streaming series to finish writing.Her interest in being in the wine industry was refueled in Spring 2015 after several incidents occurred at corporate wine tastings – her name not being on the attendee list, her guests almost being turned away, being seated in the back and continuously told to be quiet despite her wine tribe purchasing a lot of wine. The spark was reignited.In June 2016, Nicole attended Open Bite Night, a community block party to support a friend. I mentioned to a friend, Niesha, “There should be a vendor who only sells adult beverages.” She said, “Why not you?” A few weeks later, Niesha contacted me to let me know she had registered me for the event.  There was no charge for first-time participants and they provided the table and chairs. I decided to no longer put off my dream and step out on faith. “Sip & Share Wines” was born.On October 1, 2016, Sip & Share officially opened for business at Open Bite Night: Ridiculous. We SOLD OUT of our handcrafted Red and White Sangrias (now Abundance and Awaken). The Sangrias quickly gained a following, from being served by-the-glass out of a punch bowl to people wanting more than a glass to enjoy as they checked out the various vendors at the different events where we set up.Enter Mason jars with straws in the lids. It was a hit! Then folks begin to ask to take Sip & Share Sangrias home with them. In March 2018, Sip & Share Wines became a licensed federal winery and began the process of producing a diversity of vegan wines.Gratitude to everyone who has supported, continues to support and those who will support Sip & Share Wines on our journey.

Unlock the life that was made for you. Through this limited series podcast xoNecole and Tampax are providing a safe space for you to unapologetically indulge in topics about wellbeing, relationships, and career.Navigating non-toxic relationships is always tricky, especially amongst Black women who often carry the burden of their communities. Many Gen Z women hold true that in order to be a friend to others, you must first be a friend to yourself. In this episode, Gia and the incredible model, activist, and influencer Ebonee Davis get candid about checking on your friends, using life's pain to walk in purpose, and the importance of discussing our health with our friends and advocating for ourselves at the doctor's office. While solid friendships may be harder to find and build in adulthood than in grade school, they are incredibly satisfying and well worth the highs and lows they bring. This conversation will knock down barriers to communication by stressing the importance of boundaries, vulnerability and showing up. We know that Gen Z women are far more open to talking about intimate topics like relationships and mental health publicly, which will make this an enriching conversation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We are thrilled to have such a successful serial entrepreneur on our show to share her experience and knowledge with our listeners. My introduction wouldn't do her justice so in her own words I'll let Bianca explain her background.Hi! My name is Bianca Rush and I am a digital marketing strategist that teaches female entrepreneurs proven marketing strategies that increase their sales. I've built six-figure and 7-figure businesses for myself (Sassy Mitchell Hair, Sassy Hair Cap, Ladies Who Brunch: Atlanta), but moreover than that I've connected thousands of women to resources that help them enhance their visibility, build their list, and generate consistent revenue in their business. My main mission is to help women build an organic community of supporters and teach other entrepreneurs how to use the digital space, backed with the right strategy to generate revenue in their business. I have been featured in publications like XoNecole, Blavity, 21Ninety, ESSENCE, and Black Enterprise and have partnered with major brands such as: Bank of America, Macy's, WeWork, Grey Goose, PUMA, Glossier, Nissan, Mielle Organics to name a few for brand awareness campaigns. As a corporate drop-out turned educator, I believe it's not poor ideas that make businesses fail, yet it's a poor structure to the marketing strategy to enhance visibility and worthiness of the business. My goal is to help hundreds of women transcend the idea of a “traditional" career path by developing an actionable social and marketing strategy plan that helps them grow a business that they love with clarity, confidence, and consistency. When I am not working, I can be found spending quality time with my family, watching the latest film in theaters, and hosting gatherings with friends.Check out Bianca's consulting practice here: https://www.morethan.socialSupport the show (https://paypal.me/sidehustlecity)
