LITE It Up explores the resiliency of black women who are on a journey of a lifetime. This podcast is designed to motivate women to take action to become leaders; inspire others; transform their lives and become empowered. As women, we strive to balance motherhood, our careers, our personal lives and all of the challenges that come along with being “Super Woman”. We make the job look easy—but it’s really hard work! It’s also twice as hard if you’re single mom! If you have experienced the transition of single parenting or you’re in the midst of a transition, this podcast is for you!
