Hey Reader, Innovation isn’t just about tech or strategy—it’s about people. Especially when those people have carried trauma, shouldered burdens, and still dared to build. We’re shifting how we create. Too often, design and innovation happen in boardrooms disconnected from the realities of the people they serve. But Black women know better—because we’ve lived it. Two Black women in a comforting embrace If we want to build systems, products, and services that truly heal instead of harm, we...

You’re sending applications, showing up at work, maybe even networking, but the opportunities aren’t coming. That holding pattern can feel heavy, frustrating, and even personal. But here’s the truth: being “stuck” doesn’t mean you’re failing. More often, it means you’re standing at the edge of reinvention. That pause can be the very thing...

PODCAST YOUTUBE BOOKS BLOG SCHEDULE A CALL Hey Reader! When most of us think about retirement, we think money—savings, investments, and whether the nest egg will be enough. But here’s what often gets overlooked: the non-financial side. High-achieving Black women, in particular, spend their lives excelling, leading, and carrying the weight of family, community, and workplace responsibilities. That grind becomes part of our identity. So when the paychecks stop, it’s not unusual to feel a sense...

PODCAST YOUTUBE BOOKS BLOG SCHEDULE A CALL Hey Reader! Reinvention sounds glamorous—new beginnings, fresh starts, second chances. But the truth? Reinvention is often messy, uncertain, and uncomfortable. It means shedding identities that no longer fit, grieving what could’ve been, and facing the unknown with courage you didn’t even know you had. For Black women, reinvention carries extra weight. We’re often the anchors for families, workplaces, and communities. So when we choose to...

PODCAST YOUTUBE BOOKS BLOG SCHEDULE A CALL Hey Reader! We’ve been told the same story for too long: that the next degree, certification, or credential is the key to success. But here’s the truth—you don’t always need another piece of paper. What you need is audacity, clarity, and confidence in the value you already bring.

PODCAST YOUTUBE BOOKS BLOG SCHEDULE A CALL Hey Reader! Too many of us have been conditioned to accept “good enough” in our careers—decent pay, a supervisor who isn’t terrible, and a seat at the table where we still feel invisible. But survival is not the same as satisfaction, and tolerance is not the same as love. For Black women especially, the workplace often feels like a balancing act: proving your value while managing bias, speaking up without being labeled “too much,” and carrying more...

PODCAST YOUTUBE BOOKS BLOG SCHEDULE A CALL Hey Reader! For so many Black women, survival mode feels like home. We’ve been taught to push through, carry the load, and sacrifice ourselves to make sure everyone else is good. Generations have modeled resilience, but rarely rest.

Survival mode is often familiar because it’s rooted in fear. Fear...
