Business Presentation

Setting Professional Boundaries w/ Naquita Makell
When you're passionate and driven, it is so easy to get caught up and "lose track of time" and lose sight of the other areas of life that need attention. SIS! Don't let yourself get to the point of burnout before you tend to yourself and your other needs. Set those boundaries and enjoy what balance can bring!

The Ramble, Part VI
So, I have to be honest with y'all...I think this whole episode was a message from me to ME. LOL. But, no really. I think it's important that we stop trying to take on the responsibility of managing others' boundaries when it's hard enough to manage our own. Not only will it reduce your stress, but it will also allow you to accept help. On the flip side, you can use that energy to enforce the boundaries that you have set and handle folks accordingly, when needed.
Thank you so much to all of my guests & listeners for your support. It is because of you that I am able to keep going. I will catch you in Season 4!!!! *Muah*

Young, Black & Navigating Corporate Spaces
2020 was a difficult year for A LOT of people. While adapting to a Stay At Home life, we also had to watch as racial inequality and injustice spiked tension across the country. I don't know about you, but having to live and feel that AND navigate the corporate world at the same time was no easy feat as a Young, Black Professional...To be honest, I'm not too sure it is now! Join a few of my friends & I as we discuss our experiences and how they've changed since the summer of 2020.

Who Said That? You Said That?
In a world where being heard is extremely important (& with Social Media, the opportunities are endless), we also have to remember that there are times where listening is what is needed in that moment. Yes, our words are important, but we must use our discernment on when and how we are using them. A quick reminder that quietness is okay & you'll be surprised...sometimes it's key!

Dealing with Grief w/ La’Porshea Scott-Morton & Chasity White
Every last one of us has dealt with loss at some point in our lives & it is not easy. Whether it was the loss of a loved one, loss of a job or opportunity or a dramatic change that caused your life to completely shift, we have all had a reason to grieve. The question is...did you really allow yourself to go through that process? Join two of my good friends and I as we talk about our experiences and discuss why it's so important to go THROUGH the grieving process and not OVER it.

A Moment of Gratitude
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ― Melody Beattie
With everything going on around us, it’s important that we take a moment to express gratitude for the positive parts of life. Some of my friends and family share what they are grateful for in the midst of this craziness called life.
Make sure you check out our #GirlBoss of the Week: Tracey Totten (IG: @Sassaries), founder of Sassaries, a quickly expanding unisex accessories, eyewear and custom jewelry brand.
While we express our gratitude, we still stand firmly on the side of justice for our black brothers and sisters who have been victims of the senseless acts of citizens and police officers across the world. Heavy on the #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor #JusticeForElijahMcClain #JusticeForJacobBlake Justice for the three transgender women who were attacked and all of the countless others.

Soo, with everything going on, I think it’s appropriate to just...Ramble! Make yourself a priority.
"You existing is revolutionary. You being here and breathing and living and existing in a country, in a world, that has proven over and over again that who we are as Black women is a threat to them, or frustrates them, you existing, and doing it well, is enough. Black women existing is the work." - Rachel Cargle
