    Season 7 : E14 :Eric Roberson: Speaks on “Lessons” and his life… “Beautifully All Over The Place”!

    In this episode of "Living in the SweetSpot" we sit down with Grammy nominated singer and songwriter Eric Roberson for an honest conversation about music, independence, and staying true to yourself. Eric has been building his career on his own terms for years. From earning Grammy nominations to collaborating with artists like Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, and Ledisi, he has created a lane that proves you do not have to follow the traditional industry path to succeed. In this episode, he talks about the early days, what pushed him to stay independent, and how he has managed to grow while keeping his integrity intact. It feels less like an interview and more like real dialogue about longevity, ownership, faith, and the work behind the scenes. If you care about building something that lasts and doing it your way, this conversation will resonate. Welcome to the Sweet Spot.

Raquel's impactful work has been published in Gender & Society and The Conversation.  “The mommas are still holding it down!”  Join us for this weighty and hot topic in the Sweet Spot!
