    Exclusive With Real World Original- Eric Nies

    Send us a text 5 years ago, one of my very first guests was Real World: New York Allum: Eric Nies. If there was someone that experienced all the sides of what reality show fandom brings, it was Eric.  After that show I knew he was the real deal. In fact, he helped me grow even more after losing my brother over 2 decades ago. During our summer hiatus, I was able to reconnect with him. Living in Hawaii, Eric has done the work to be where he is today.  He even gives us all advice on becoming our most true and authentic self. And do you know where to start? He'll tell you. He also introduces us to his dragon- yes, his spiritual dragon that has elevated his own consciousness, allowing him to break free from anything left draining his goodness he holds so precarious. Listen. Learn. Grow. Heal. Help.  Thank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

    Summer Special with Brown Skin & New Exclusive with Mayor Marc Morial

    Send us a text How's yall's summer going??? It's hot in New Orleans. And that humidity makes me glow HARD! I thought it'd be fun to wake the show up this week to introduce a couple of new conversations I had recently.  First,  I was contacted about an amazing skin care brand that has revolutionized the way brown skin is taken care of today. I was super intrigued. And asI learned more, boy was I doing things wrong!  Brownkind was created by dermatologists of color to address the needs of melanin-rich skin. With products made with melanin in mind, your best skin day is every day. While most skincare companies use primarily caucasian skin to study effectiveness, we studied only those with melanin-rich skin. We focus on your skin using our proprietary blend of phytonutrients from start to finish, because proven science leads to proven results. Founded by dermatologists of color with over 50 years of experience, Brownkind is here to offer you the long-overlooked knowledge you need to give your skin the care it deserves.  Listen as I am schooled in caring for brown skin by 2 of the world's leaders, Dr. Gauri Desai and Dr. Abhijit Desai and learn more about their amazing skin care brand at www.brownkind.com ______________________________________________________________________ Then later I welcome back my own personal favorites of mine- Past 2 term Mayor for the city of New Orleans, Mr. Marc Morial. Also leader of the National Urban League.  Recently, I got to talk to him about the Homelessness situation in New Orleans. I wanted to make sure I was on the right side of things. I know and I SEE that our amazing Council person, and friend of mine, Ms. Lesli Harris has her fingers on the pulse, honey. It gives me chill bumps at the passion in her voice that gives way to the charm in her smile. The date proves we are on the right track! But there is always time to reflect on what can be done better. Life is always about getting better. And I know with passionate civic workers like Council Member Harris, along with the heart beat of our city- the future data will prove even better. AND I CLAIM THAT IN HIS NAME. Check this exclusive out with the People's Mayor. My always mayor. Thank you Mr. Marc.  Learn more about his mission at www.nul.org Thank you to our family of amazing sponsors!
