Divas and Duckets

Some of us dream of full time entrepreneurship for various reasons: the ability to do what we love, calling our own shots, having more freedom with our time, etc. But what stops us? Maybe it’s not knowing where to start or when to jump from your 9-5 to full time CEO. Join us this week as we speak with Tanya Harris, attorney turned full time food vlogger, as we discuss how she made her transition a...

As the summer of COVID-19 persists simultaneously with  recent police shooting atrocities, now is as important as ever to take care of our mental, physical and emotional health.

Tune in to learn “the why” behind why many of us are not taking proper care of our health, what that can cost us physically and financially and why this week’s letter left one of us speechless.  

Many of us struggle with weight, fitness and health; “it’s a lifestyle” after all. For some of us, it’s a constant battle against the bulge while others struggle to bulk up. In this episode, we brought in two subject matter experts to discuss what “health” and “fitness” really mean, why many of us have a skewed view of what “healthy” looks like, and affordable solutions to help us reach our goals...

We all know the phrase made popular by Sir Rick Ross, “You wasn’t with me shootin in the gym”. We use it colloquially when discussing the latest celebrity to go through an expensive divorce or custody proceeding. But what about those every day folks paying out to people who feel owed (more and more each time)?  In episode 3, we discuss Black Tax and the difference between being a blessing to other...
