  • Do you have a mindset of gratitude and grace? This Thanksgiving week, I share the importance of being thankful for where we are now โ€” and the power of seeing the bigger picture, even when things feel random or out of sync. Gratitude is more than just acknowledging whatโ€™s good in life โ€” itโ€™s about embracing each part of the journey, the wins and the challenges.

    I also explain how grace plays a huge role in navigating life's twists and turns. From handling tough situations with composure to understanding when to step up and speak out, graciousness is about bringing empathy and emotional intelligence to every interaction. I talk about the importance of recognizing how each piece of your life connects and how those connections have a way of showing up when you need them most.

    Letโ€™s take a moment to reflect โ€” drop a comment with three things youโ€™re grateful for. Letโ€™s build a space for real reflection and positivity!

  • How does privilege can shape our relationships and decisions? We're breaking down Syd Shaw, played by Sanaa Lathan, and her outsized influence on Dre, portrayed by Taye Diggs. Is she a friend or a villain? ๐Ÿค” Syd leverages her influence in Dre's life, but does she undermine his growth and values in the process?

    Influence is not just about having a voice; it's about how we use that voice to uplift or undermine others. Syd's character exemplifies how influence can be mismanaged, leading to significant consequences in relationships. While Syd is portrayed as a supportive friend, her actions ultimately undermine Dre's growth and the values he needs to thrive in his personal and professional life. This raises important questions about how we support our loved ones and the impact of our influence on their decisions.

    If you've seen Brown Sugar, we want to hear your thoughts! Do you think Syd was out of pocket, or was she justified in her actions? Letโ€™s discuss!

  • What's the difference between power, privilege, and influence? How is influence our key to sustained growth and success?

    Too often, influence gets lumped in with "trendy" influencers, but true influence is a strategic lasting force that transcends the buzz of social media moments. I explain the covert strength of influence, sharing personal stories of career-defining mentorships that shifted my perspective and growth potential. If youโ€™ve ever wondered why some voices are trusted over time, why others spark and fade, or how to build influence that lasts, tune in and discover the systems-based approach that makes a true, sustainable impact.

  • What are the nuances of privilege and influence? How identity shape our paths and our leadership style?

    Building on last monthโ€™s insights on power, I break down how privilege can enhance our ability to make an impact โ€” and why itโ€™s not simply about โ€œhavingโ€ privilege, but how we use privilege that matters. I dive into the concept of intersectionality, highlighting how our experiences and backgrounds uniquely affect our perspectives and decisions.

    Drawing on lessons from my book Evolution to Equity, I share stories of creative resilience and the importance of recognizing all facets of identity. I invite listeners to consider the net impact of โ€œshrinkingโ€ versus showing up fully through the lens of intersectionality.

    Listen in as we unpack these powerful themes and explore the role privilege plays in shaping our influence. Be sure to subscribe for more insights, and join the conversation as we reflect on privilege, identity, and the impact we leave on the world.

  • In this episode we dig into the heart of privilege, power, and influence โ€” and what those really mean beyond the buzzwords. Influence isnโ€™t just about a flashy post; it's about meaningful, long-term impact. We look at the difference between sponsorship and mentorship: sponsorship opens doors with authority, while mentorship shares the insights that can change someoneโ€™s path.

    With personal stories, I unpack the power of building influence with intention โ€” how trusted voices can shape our lives over time, like a steady light thatโ€™s here to stay, not just a quick flash. Join the conversation as we reflect on mentors whoโ€™ve had our backs, who weโ€™ve influenced along the way, and how to use that influence to make a difference. Letโ€™s lead with impact!

Drawing lessons from the character Curtis Taylor in "Dreamgirls", I break down how recognizing talent, managing emotions, and staying clear on your motivations can help you make smart, calculated risks. Exposure isn't about being reckless โ€” it's about understanding when the risk is worth the reward.

  • Welcome to another segment of Dear Lil Sis where I am joined by Casi Henderson, founder and stylist at Exclusively Casi Hair Studio. Our powerful conversation about self-acceptance and recognizing our worth beyond others' opinions is a game-changer. We all face outside judgments, but what truly matters is how we see ourselves. Casi and I unpack the idea that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made," encouraging us all to embrace our true identities with confidence. We get real about the struggles of self-doubt and comparison, and how shifting our mindset can empower us to be the best version of ourselves. #PowerOfBeauty #SelfWorth #ownyourtruth
